1988 Draft Discussion

[Clay]

That's plain ol' stamina.

BTW, I don't know if anyone else is doing this... but I'm treating all starters with two pitches as strictly RP's.

If they develop that third pitch, I'll convert them later... but for right now, anyone with two pitches is a reliever in my eyes.

I'm trying to look at things this way, but the one thing that really scares me about the new system is that MOODS are really going to affected because a lot of RPs now think they want to be starters. I have two high quality reliever that both are now grouchy because they think they should be starters eventhough everything about their makeup says no.

Still a lot to learn about this new system.

Still a lot to learn about this new system.

And we will probably have one season under our belts before the next system comes out.

[Delandis]

I see Ortiz wants to start over there in Maine.

[Ryan]

BTW - I have to say... I'm really excited about our new Feeder League system. One of the biggest complaints people had in the past was the fact that it was unrealistic in the past because we just had so little information on who we are drafting. I love that not only do we get stats, but we'll get to track them through their league's "Top Player List" and other features that give a generic scouts take on things. I'm excited.

Yeah, this is good stuff. Being able to track guys like this should prove to be a valuable tool for all of us going forward. Adds a ton of depth to the league, imo.

The sorting to the draft utility has a bug.

You can choose to sort Pitchers by ground ball percentage and it'll display "the first" (whatever that means) 200 pitchers.

Problem is, that sort may not include the pitcher you're looking for. When you sort by SP then that name may pop up.

I find it frustrating.

[Gyrodork]

I don't see ANY player ratings in the draft utility.

[Andrew]

I don't see ANY player ratings in the draft utility.

That's because we have scouting enabled so the ratings are hidden.

There are only 158 pitchers in the draft so it's displaying all of them.

[mahoney2]

It wasn't for me either, not sure how many in the list but I found at least one that wasn't on the page unless I did SP>

[Matt]

Ditto. One pitcher and one hitter I couldn't find. I'm sure they are there someplace.

[Gyrodork]

Can't find the best SP (per my scout) on the draft utilities list. Something is amiss...

[Clay]

Pull up by position (ex SP) and do a FIND (CTRL F)... I bet he's there. The position is key.

[Gyrodork]

I searched by position. I'll try the "Find"...

Thats what she said...

Hmm, I believe you but it does seem that you can't search by Batters/Pitchers. You have to search by position to find every available player.

I'm not sure why this is the case, but it is.
