(13:34:36) Admin: Codgers logs into the Chat.
(13:35:34) Codgers: I have four guys on my draft list. That should be plenty, right?
(13:36:01) Trendsetters: as long as they are all terrible, you're all set 8)
(13:36:17) Codgers: O:-D
(13:36:31) Admin: Borealis logs into the Chat.

(13:38:31) Sandgnats: Hi Mike!
(13:38:36) Borealis: Denny!!
(13:39:57) Sandgnats: Woo hoo. Let's get this party started lol
(13:40:13) Dinosaurs: Will the draft order will be fixed as we move through the draft? I saw the note about the manual adjustments, but just curious.
(13:40:36) Admin: Borealis has been logged out (Timeout).
(13:40:38) Trendsetters: everything has been updated yesterday
(13:41:22) Dinosaurs: Hmm, I don't think the Dinosaurs should be drafting 8th when we where tied (three way tie) for the 3rd worse record last season.
(13:41:51) Trendsetters: only because there here failed draft signings that bumped things down
(13:42:06) Trendsetters: I would have picked 11th but now picked 15th
(13:42:17) Dinosaurs: 3 from last year? yikes. Okay makes sense
(13:44:09) Admin: Sandgnats has been logged out (Timeout).

(13:47:43) Trendsetters: also, hi Dylan
(13:47:48) Harpoon: Hey!
(13:48:35) Akira: so we're not using statslab to pick?
(13:49:09) Trendsetters: last year the picks were simply announced here, and manually added and it seemed to work wwll
(13:49:11) Trendsetters: well*
(13:49:11) Admin: Sandgnats has been logged out (Timeout).
(13:49:17) Admin: Calzones logs into the Chat.
(13:49:22) Admin: Sandgnats logs into the Chat.
(13:49:37) Admin: Zephyrs logs into the Chat.
(13:49:42) Trendsetters: it seemed to limit the "skipping forward" issue that statslab always had
(13:49:51) Calzones: hi all
(13:49:57) Trendsetters: hi Simon!
(13:50:05) Akira: will we see statslab update as the draft progresses? It was a good way to keep track of picks.
(13:50:19) Trendsetters: yup, it will still be updated
(13:50:20) Akira: ...and who was already taken
(13:50:34) Akira: ok, cool.
(13:50:39) Admin: Coqui logs into the Chat.
(13:51:16) Akira: I missed last years, hence the unsigned horrible pick it selected.
(13:51:32) Admin: Alleghenies logs into the Chat.
(13:51:33) Trendsetters: you're swimming in picks this year
(13:51:39) Admin: Sandgnats has been logged out (Timeout).
(13:51:41) Admin: Sandgnats logs into the Chat.
(13:51:47) Coqui: Hi all. Today is the day I regret trading two top picks
(13:51:52) Akira: drowning, actually
(13:52:01) Trendsetters: lol
(13:52:23) Sandgnats: I have no picks this year, so I am happy to go make beverage or food runs for anyone
(13:52:27) Akira: my current minor leaguers are sweating this day
(13:53:00) Admin: Leones logs into the Chat.

(13:53:07) Leones: Hi guys!
(13:53:10) Leones: :o)
(13:53:16) Trendsetters: hi PAtrick!
(13:53:18) Claymores: Hi everyone!
(13:53:18) Akira: heya
(13:53:29) Trendsetters: hey Garrett
(13:53:36) Leones: Good crowd!
(13:53:42) Admin: Borealis logs into the Chat.
(13:53:59) Borealis: Hey Once Again, Guys!!
(13:54:11) Bulldozers: Gentlemen! Anyone got a coat or sweater? There's a draft in here.
(13:54:18) Harpoon: HA
(13:54:26) Borealis: 8o
(13:54:35) Sandgnats: :D
(13:54:48) Trendsetters: heh
(13:55:14) Trendsetters: almost everyone is either here, or has a list ready
(13:56:17) Trendsetters: at least the ratings are up on statslab this year, so auto-picks for those with nothing prepared should be a bit better than in the past
(13:56:49) Akira: if you trust those ratings...
(13:57:06) Dinosaurs: they are probably a little better than random
(13:57:29) Borealis: StatsLab is notoriously the worst scouting group!!
(13:58:08) Akira: many don't come close to my scout OR OOTP...
(13:58:11) Trendsetters: when we all fire our incompetent scouts, i think they get picked up at StatsLab Inc.
(13:58:34) Bulldozers: I think that's where I hired my current scout from.
(13:58:37) Akira: don't know where those ratings are coming from.
(13:58:41) Borealis: They are definitely Buyer Beware...
(13:58:58) Sandgnats: I'm thinking of sending my incompetent trainer to go work for statslab, inc.
(13:59:15) Akira: Unless Statslab knows something none of us do!?!??
(13:59:21) Bulldozers: Why not fire your scout and hire your trainer as a scout? Saves lots of money.
(13:59:34) Borealis: :P:P:P
(13:59:58) Sandgnats: :D
(14:00:26) Trendsetters: hahahaha
(14:01:03) Trendsetters: reminds me of the scene in moneyball .... "hey, you never played baseball before, right?" .... "well, um.." ... "congrats, you are our new head scout!"
(14:01:07) Bulldozers: Any truth to the rumor we don't have to post our choices in Stats Lab this year? Just announce them here?
(14:01:18) Akira: but he may draft a guy just because he has good muscle tone
(14:01:31) Trendsetters: yup, just announce it here
(14:01:36) Sandgnats: :D
(14:01:43) Trendsetters: we can actually get started
(14:01:50) Trendsetters: so, welcome to the 2025 draft, everyone!
(14:02:09) Bulldozers: NOise! Confetti!
(14:02:24) Akira: I think it was "You played baseball before?..." "Little league" "You're the new head scout"
(14:02:25) Trendsetters: quick details : simply announce your picks here, and the picks will be manually added to StatsLab (which will be updated as we go along)
(14:02:45) Bulldozers: What a major improvement! Thanks.
(14:02:48) Borealis: WHOOO HOOOO!!!
(14:03:07) Trendsetters: we go until the end of round 3, which should go fairly smoothly as most people are here or have lists ready
(14:03:27) Trendsetters: then everyone try and get a list ready for tomorrow (unless you want to pick your players yourself)
(14:03:29) Sandgnats: or any unused picks go to CL :)
(14:03:52) Akira: hang on, I have to put a list together...
(14:03:58) Bulldozers: You guys have too many talented players already!
(14:05:01) Trendsetters: alright so the first pick is London, and a list was pre-made since they are currently GM-less
(14:05:51) Trendsetters: and with the #1 overall pick, London selects SP Lee Mitchell of Louisville
(14:05:57) Alleghenies: Let's get this done fast guys, I have a Derby to go to
(14:06:16) Trendsetters: Ron, you got the floor for the next two picks
(14:07:00) Akira: In that case, Neo Tokyo selects SP Alfonso Ramos at #2
(14:07:11) Akira: thought he would go @1
(14:07:35) Bulldozers: Yeah, he was my #1.
(14:07:51) Borealis: I love PEBA - How guys rank players - they were 8 & 9 on my list...
(14:07:57) Codgers: Shoot....was hoping Ramos would fall to me at 22
(14:08:11) Trendsetters: :P
(14:08:14) Admin: Wind_Dancers logs into the Chat.
(14:08:15) Sandgnats: The Red Dawns. Love it.
(14:08:25) Bulldozers: Keep dreaming, Denny. It's good for your complexion.
(14:08:33) Trendsetters: welcome, Kyle!
(14:08:39) Wind_Dancers: hello
(14:08:48) Codgers: I'm getting a salmon-ish hue
(14:08:53) Coqui: I have a top 12 and I pick 13. So far no one has slid
(14:08:55) Trendsetters: by the way, Ron, you can get your #3 overall guy announced if you want
(14:08:59) Akira: at #3 Neo Tokyo selects LF Jeffrey Grier
(14:09:05) Evas: I had Ramos #1 as well. Lucky to get him at #2
(14:09:32) Borealis: And my #1 is off the board - my draft is blown up!!
(14:09:33) Akira: I would have taken Mitchell @ #2
(14:09:36) Codgers: First nicknamed player taken
(14:09:46) Trendsetters: prefect. Scotland is up at #4 overall now
(14:09:58) Trendsetters: the podium is yours, Garrett
(14:10:12) Akira: nicknames a always a clue
(14:10:26) Evas: Yes they are
(14:10:28) Bulldozers: But a clue to what?
(14:10:34) Evas: Talent
(14:10:43) Evas: More often than not
(14:10:52) Claymores: Scotland takes Jeffery 'Skip' Grier....DAMMIT!!! OK we'll take Jorge 'Yogi' Vazquez
(14:11:06) Codgers: I thought they changed OOTP to give lousy players nicknames now too, so it is less of a key than before
(14:11:06) Sandgnats: Yogi!
(14:11:07) Akira: Ramos topped all the lists, even Statslab.
(14:11:39) Bulldozers: So they ain't so dumb after all.
(14:11:55) Evas: @Codgers That is possible
(14:11:59) Sandgnats: Yogi is a great nickname
(14:12:02) Trendsetters: even a broken clock is right twice a day :P
(14:12:34) Trendsetters: anyway, #5 pick is Amsterdam but I don't see Bob anywhere
(14:12:35) Bulldozers: So what other pick did StatsLab get right? Will we recognize it?
(14:13:20) Trendsetters: Amsterdam's 5th overall pick is SP Vinnie de Brouwer
(14:13:31) Trendsetters: how perfect is that. a Dutch pitcher
(14:13:36) Borealis: Classic!!
(14:13:40) Codgers: Fan service
(14:13:46) Bulldozers: Can he paint?
(14:13:46) Trendsetters: instant fan fave
(14:13:53) Trendsetters: corners, yeah
(14:14:02) Bulldozers: :P
(14:14:22) Trendsetters: Greg, you're up at #6
(14:14:52) Alleghenies: Ok.
(14:14:58) Alleghenies: Debating between 2 guys
(14:15:11) Bulldozers: Coin toss!
(14:15:15) Alleghenies: 5 minutes?
(14:15:22) Trendsetters: sure
(14:15:30) Trendsetters: these first picks are important ones
(14:15:34) Codgers: *Jeopardy theme plays*
(14:15:42) Wind_Dancers: oh whats the usual draft clock for the first round
(14:16:07) Trendsetters: it's all done manually through announcements here in the chat room, but 10 minutes is the standard
(14:16:16) Wind_Dancers: alright
(14:16:23) Borealis: slow...
(14:16:36) Bulldozers: In ten minutes I could assemble a whole new list!
(14:16:46) Codgers: No kidding
(14:16:50) Trendsetters: so all you'll need to do is announce your player here and it'll get updated in statslab
(14:16:52) Codgers: Kids these days are spoiled
(14:17:01) Wind_Dancers: lol
(14:17:14) Alleghenies: I am no kid ;-) I wish I was
(14:17:20) Alleghenies: unless 43 qualifies as a kid
(14:17:25) Bulldozers: Yeah, why in my day, we had ten minutes to walk ten miles to school through 10 feet of snow!
(14:17:37) Bulldozers: 43 is defnintely a kid. Right, Denny?
(14:17:43) Trendsetters: uphill ... both ways!
(14:17:50) Bulldozers: You got it!
(14:18:06) Codgers: Indeed....I don't even remember what it was like to be 43
(14:18:29) Bulldozers: That's what I was thinking. Trying to remember nearly 3 decades ago. I can't.
(14:18:41) Borealis: 43 seems like a decade+ ago...
(14:18:51) Bulldozers: ONE?
(14:19:09) Codgers: I have trouble remembering what happened five minutes ago
(14:19:40) Bulldozers: You swapped me your #1 draft pick for a gallon on Colorado River Water.
(14:19:46) Borealis: Right?? And don't even get me started on names, Fred...
(14:19:47) Admin: Bureaucrats logs into the Chat.
(14:19:49) Admin: Shisa logs into the Chat.
(14:20:05) Bulldozers: Why is it that names are the first memories to go?
(14:20:09) Borealis: Hey Dan!! Hey Morris!!
(14:20:15) Trendsetters: welcome Dan and Morris!
(14:20:29) Codgers: Wilkommen :important:
(14:20:50) Bureaucrats: Hello! donno if I'll be around long, but figured I'd check in :-)
(14:20:55) Shisa: I'm supposed to be unpacking. Not so loud.
(14:21:16) Bulldozers: Always good to see you, Dan, however briefly.
(14:21:30) Trendsetters: are you moving, Morris?
(14:21:53) Shisa: I'm mostly moved.
(14:22:01) Alleghenies: With the #6 pick in the draft, Alleghenies choose, Pitcher Jake Mundy
(14:22:10) Alleghenies: JAck Mundy
(14:22:25) Codgers: Stolen from Scotland
(14:22:32) Bulldozers: Damn. My fav. Love his name.
(14:22:44) Dinosaurs: Yeah I was surprised that Scotland didn't grab him
(14:22:55) Trendsetters: speaking of Scotland, you guys are next to pick at #7
(14:23:12) Claymores: We'll take SP Fernando Gusman
(14:23:22) Alleghenies: The guy I wanted, wants too much $$$ for a pick I need to sign the guy :-)
(14:23:49) Trendsetters: 6 pitchers and one outfielder so far
(14:24:02) Trendsetters: Fargo is up next
(14:24:11) Admin: Shisa has been logged out (Timeout).
(14:24:13) Admin: Shisa logs into the Chat.
(14:24:48) Shisa: Laptop decided it wanted to be on airplane mode. Hope that doesn't continue.
(14:25:02) Dinosaurs: Fargo selects SP Nathan Dempster
(14:25:14) Borealis: Claymores pick up a couple of good looking arms!!
(14:25:30) Claymores: We need them!
(14:25:31) Bulldozers: Nathan who?
(14:25:53) Codgers: First Australian selected
(14:26:13) Bulldozers: I hear all he throws are garbage pitches.
(14:26:14) Trendsetters: neat
(14:26:26) Akira: Firstbase!
(14:26:28) Trendsetters: Reno, you guys are next to pick
(14:26:33) Dinosaurs: Right, from the Outback State University Crocs
(14:26:57) Borealis: Both of which look like they won't take much seasoning to be ready...
(14:27:01) Bulldozers: OSU's remote campus.
(14:27:23) Coqui: Or mistakenly Outback Steakhouse Little League team
(14:27:30) Zephyrs: Reno up?
(14:27:35) Bulldozers: :D
(14:27:37) Trendsetters: yes sir
(14:27:56) Zephyrs: Reno selects SS Jose Martinez
(14:28:14) Codgers: First infielder selected!
(14:28:20) Bulldozers: Yuma selects a colorful young pitcher by the name of Brown, Jeffrey.
(14:28:40) Akira: ooh, was hoping he'd sneak through
(14:28:56) Bulldozers: His camouflage wasn't that good.
(14:29:18) Trendsetters: Amsterdam selects SP Artie McKinney
(14:30:05) Akira: Martinez, Imean
(14:30:17) Trendsetters: Canton selects SP Chris Acevez
(14:30:35) Trendsetters: San Juan is next to pick at lucky #13
(14:30:44) Borealis: Man... The Lions must have subscribed to that StatsLab Scouting Report...
(14:30:54) Codgers: That guy is bound to be good....he's got "Ace" right in his name
(14:30:55) Dinosaurs: Was eying Acevez at my pick. Very solid safe pick
(14:31:13) Coqui: Very lucky 13. #1 on my board still available - Wally Glasser
(14:31:48) Trendsetters: ooo good choice
(14:31:54) Trendsetters: he was top of mine too
(14:32:41) Borealis: So interesting...
(14:32:45) Trendsetters: Bakersfield selects SP Jose Garcia at #14
(14:32:56) Trendsetters: I am next. Just give me a few minutes, guys
(14:32:56) Borealis: Of course they take a pitcher...
(14:33:11) Codgers: Huh....my scout was pretty "meh" on Glasser. You guys' scouts must have a different focus
(14:33:25) Harpoon: Same here
(14:33:31) Borealis: Garcia was the top remaining pitcher on my list...
(14:33:40) Harpoon: 4 of my top 5 are still on my list
(14:33:50) Bulldozers: Glasser seemed fragile, somehow.
(14:33:59) Admin: Bureaucrats logs out of the Chat.
(14:34:07) Borealis: Ditto on Glasser... Though the loverly guys at StatsLab...:-*:-*:-*
(14:34:14) Dinosaurs: :-*:-*:-*
(14:34:27) Codgers: Love....exciting and new...
(14:34:27) Borealis: I've a pair left...
(14:34:35) Calzones: damn i missed one pick
(14:34:50) Alleghenies: I've got 3 guys left on my list
(14:34:54) Borealis: But FLA will pick them - they always do...
(14:34:56) Alleghenies: hoping one makes it to 25
(14:35:00) Codgers: Consarn it, all four guys on my list were taken!!
(14:35:11) Bulldozers: You guys have short lists. I have 13 still on mine.
(14:35:32) Codgers: A short list and a short fuse... :warning:
(14:35:42) Borealis: :o)
(14:35:44) Leones: "you're gonna need a bigger boat chief" I heard something like that once somewhere ...
(14:35:45) Bulldozers: Don't blow it, Denny.
(14:35:58) Codgers: :-)
(14:36:02) Trendsetters: New Orleans select, from Central Florida, SP Jim Jones
(14:36:21) Codgers: NO is drinking the Kool-aid
(14:36:24) Bulldozers: The scariest name in the pool!8o
(14:36:29) Evas: I didn't do a deep dive in to this class because I traded away so many picks, but my rough first pass shows a lot of talent still on the board
(14:36:36) Shisa: Denny beat me to it.
(14:36:55) Codgers: The jokes write themselves :D
(14:36:58) Trendsetters: I might see if he will go by "James", so we don't scare off fans :P
(14:37:04) Borealis: At least it's a shorter flight from NO...
(14:37:23) Borealis: I think you have his nickname already!!
(14:37:33) Borealis: Jim 'Kool-Aid' Jones!!!
(14:37:39) Bulldozers: Brilliant!
(14:37:39) Trendsetters: LOLOL
(14:37:48) Trendsetters: that is worth spending CP on!
(14:37:57) Codgers: heh
(14:38:04) Borealis: Yup!!
(14:38:05) Bulldozers: I figure he'll be a sucker for a lifetime supply of Colorado River Water.
(14:38:25) Borealis: And powder containing Red Dye #19...
(14:38:38) Bulldozers: His motto will be: "One sip does the trick."
(14:38:50) Trendsetters: hmm... K-Zoo selected 3B Darius Freeman
(14:38:59) Alleghenies: I will be back in about 10. If my pick comes up, I want to draft Brooks Robinson
(14:39:14) Shisa: My guy, Sleepy, a first rounder!
(14:39:23) Borealis: Can we do that??
(14:39:24) Bulldozers: Wait! There was a third baseman in the pool? Where was he hiding?
(14:39:34) Trendsetters: Hartford, the podium is yours!
(14:39:40) Borealis: Because Aurora can solve their power shortage right here!!
(14:39:41) Harpoon: Hartford selects Ramon "Slugger" Guzman from Hoorn High School. #1 on my list.
(14:39:42) Borealis: We
(14:39:45) Trendsetters: he was sleeping, Bob
(14:39:52) Borealis: ll select Babe Ruth!!
(14:39:56) Bulldozers: Ah so.
(14:40:24) Akira: Guzman was high on my list
(14:40:37) Trendsetters: good pick
(14:40:38) Harpoon: My scout loves him
(14:40:56) Trendsetters: Duluth picks SP Dusty Hickman
(14:41:00) Akira: Freeman was high on my list, when held upside down
(14:41:25) Bulldozers: Freeman was completely free of my list.
(14:41:33) Trendsetters: Simon, you're next to pick!
(14:41:38) Akira: actually, mine too
(14:41:51) Bulldozers: But upside down was funnier.
(14:42:21) Evas: My scout hates Guzman. It's always interesting to see where there are big divergences of opinion
(14:42:36) Bulldozers: This draft is going so well. Kudos to the Board and Reg!
(14:42:39) Borealis: Some huge ones so far...
(14:42:52) Borealis: (sssshhhhqhhhhh.....)
(14:42:53) Evas: Agree, Mike
(14:43:00) Evas: My scout has been wrong before though
(14:43:11) Borealis: Yup...
(14:43:14) Evas: 60% of the time it works every time
(14:43:18) Codgers: I keep intending to revisit my past draft lists to see if the ones who diverged from my list actually panned out
(14:43:19) Borealis: Ditto...
(14:43:22) Trendsetters: @Calzones are you deciding on your pick?
(14:43:41) Evas: @Codgers I was just thinking about doing that
(14:43:47) Calzones: yes
(14:43:59) Trendsetters: ok. just checking. take your time
(14:44:59) Zephyrs: I hate it when my scout says a guy sucks but puts him high in his draft list. Make up you mind dude!
(14:45:09) Calzones: SP Leon Medina
(14:45:29) Shisa: Nice, Simon.
(14:45:40) Bulldozers: Anybody else remember the sound of the timer on the original quiz show, "The $64,000 Question"?
(14:45:43) Trendsetters: cool
(14:46:21) Trendsetters: can't say I do, Bob
(14:46:31) Bulldozers: You're too young, Reg.
(14:46:43) Trendsetters: most likely :P
(14:46:49) Dinosaurs: @Zephyrs, yeah totally agree, What am I to think. Though my scout tends to love certain "skills" (usually speed and baserunning) and tends to overate those players in his list.
(14:46:56) Bulldozers: Aired in the late 50s. I watched it every night as a kid.
(14:46:57) Codgers: I too am too young. Finally!
(14:47:09) Trendsetters: from the far reaches of Japan, Okinawa picks next!
(14:47:17) Bulldozers: Denny! You're younger than me? Since when?
(14:47:35) Shisa: With Medina gone, Okinawa takes P Brian Montgomery.
(14:47:46) Codgers: For years!
(14:47:57) Trendsetters: hehehe
(14:48:21) Trendsetters: Alright, the cuban lions are next
(14:48:24) Bulldozers: Denny, did you get a new driver's license and lie about your age?
(14:48:38) Alleghenies: I remember it, but not because I watched it in the 50's
(14:49:01) Bulldozers: They showed reruns of it? Sorry I missed that.
(14:49:14) Leones: Havana selects LF Robby Lee (id 5127)
(14:49:18) Trendsetters: found a bunch on youtube just now :)
(14:49:39) Alleghenies: I did a term paper in college on game shows from the past :-)
(14:49:41) Bulldozers: Wicked! Thanks.
(14:50:00) Bulldozers: Now there's a cool term paper topic. Why don't my students research such interesting stuff?
(14:50:02) Trendsetters: Denny, you're up!
(14:50:33) Alleghenies: Yeah, it was fun, but hard.. Would be easy now, Damn you Internet!!!
(14:50:52) Trendsetters: my term papers were infinitely more boring lol
(14:50:53) Codgers: OK, let's see here. Open up OOTP...
(14:51:25) Bulldozers: Just fake it, you old Codger!
(14:52:11) Alleghenies: I tried to get an interview with Gene Rayburn, but I didn't have enough time due to my procrastinating
(14:52:31) Alleghenies: I really wish in hindsight I had
(14:52:50) Akira: think about that later
(14:52:53) Bulldozers: Yeah, that would have been an impressive bit of original research.
(14:54:00) Trendsetters: youtube link
(14:54:04) Alleghenies: I had talked with his assistant/publicist/whatever title and all I had to do is set a few dates and times for him to get back to me at, and I like a young kid, deciding drinking was more fun
(14:54:42) Bulldozers: Well, drinking is more fun, until it kills you. And talking with old tv farts has a limited appeal.
(14:55:06) Alleghenies: True...
(14:55:36) Borealis: Codgers... tick...tock...man...
(14:55:38) Alleghenies: He might have been a dick and my fawning of his ability on tv would have faded
(14:55:54) Bulldozers: Very strange, Reg, but the youtube link you posted sent me to all my Shakespeare links. What's with that?
(14:57:10) Borealis: "Who Wants to be a $64,000aire"
(14:57:22) Alleghenies: I DO!!!
(14:57:30) Trendsetters: @Codgers did you find anyone interesting?
(14:57:45) Trendsetters: I could use that. would wipe off my student loans lol
(14:57:50) Borealis: How is it that it seems like I somehow has missed this show...
(14:58:11) Codgers: PS selects RP Mark 'toast' Powers
(14:58:17) Bulldozers: $64,000 in 1955 roughly worth 600,000 today. I'll take it.
(14:58:20) Borealis: Grrrrr....
(14:58:45) Trendsetters: my fav 50s show without question is What's My Line
(14:58:47) Trendsetters: youtube link
(14:58:54) Borealis: I thought he might make a good starter...
(14:58:55) Codgers: It was a tough choice, there were several worthy candidates still available
(14:58:56) Dinosaurs: I picture that Powers points and the hitters he strikes out and simply add's "you're toast"
(14:58:56) Bulldozers: Wow, Denny, you really had to dig for that slice of toast.
(14:59:00) Akira: should be a good MR
(14:59:05) Codgers: In the end I had to pick the guy with a nickname of course
(14:59:23) Alleghenies: LOL
(14:59:24) Codgers: He has enough stamina he should be able to convert to a starter
(14:59:37) Akira: needs a quality 3rd pitch
(14:59:40) Trendsetters: Duluth selects SP Jorge Zamora
(14:59:46) Zephyrs: We should move the draft to a later start time. I have a tradition of drinking bourbon during and a 5 o'clock start time will make me feel like less of a degenerate.
(14:59:48) Borealis: Winter Ball...
(14:59:49) Trendsetters: WV is up next!
(15:00:22) Trendsetters: I'm having a whisky right now if it makes you feel any better, Scott
(15:00:33) Alleghenies: hmmm
(15:00:59) Codgers: It's 5 o'clock somewhere!
(15:01:00) Alleghenies: This pick I have now, it isn't a comp pick right? So if I don't sign him I get another next year right?
(15:01:02) Borealis: 8o8o8o8o8o8o
(15:01:27) Bulldozers: No, if you don't sign him Kevin or I will.
(15:01:37) Borealis: Hmmmmm... I'm not sure - Where did you get the pick from?
(15:01:46) Trendsetters: it's a traded pick from Shin Seiki, Greg
(15:01:46) Alleghenies: I think this is Kevin's
(15:02:18) Codgers: I found a pick between my couch cushions...
(15:02:19) Alleghenies: Thanks.
(15:02:21) Trendsetters: if anyone needs to verify this stuff, I have my excel spreadsheet out
(15:02:23) Borealis: Yes... that's the Evas pick, and I think it's his actual pick...
(15:02:39) Alleghenies: Helps me lean a certain way :)
(15:03:33) Alleghenies: Alleghenies chose RF Javier 'Doppler' Drake
(15:03:47) Admin: Longshoremen logs into the Chat.
(15:03:52) Alleghenies: My scout absolutely LOVES him
(15:03:54) Borealis: Grrrr...
(15:04:02) Longshoremen: Howdy fellas.
(15:04:10) Akira: he's asking alot
(15:04:10) Alleghenies: the fact I almost took him at 6
(15:04:13) Wind_Dancers: my scout loves no one in this draft
(15:04:13) Trendsetters: hey James!
(15:04:13) Alleghenies: made it pretty easy
(15:04:15) Codgers: Yeah, my scout was very angry that I didn't draft Drake
(15:04:20) Borealis: He was #3 on my list...
(15:04:37) Longshoremen: For once, a StatsLab draft didn't screw me. Thanks, Commish and team for running it rather than leaving it to the vagaries of the StatsLab engine.
(15:04:42) Alleghenies: whether I sign him is a different story
(15:04:56) Longshoremen: I had Drake 4th or 5th overall, FWIW.
(15:05:02) Akira: wants almost as much as Ramos
(15:05:05) Trendsetters: Duane, you got the next pick!
(15:05:09) Calzones: my scout doesnt love anybody either. but you have to pick someone
(15:05:16) Wind_Dancers: yeah
(15:05:29) Trendsetters: you guys have such cranky scouts lol
(15:05:39) Zephyrs: Drake is the perfect example of what I said earlier. #3 overall and scout says not much upside
(15:06:05) Wind_Dancers: though there is one batter left that he's ok with so as long as kentucky doesnt grab him
(15:06:11) Alleghenies: And he has a nickname
(15:06:25) Longshoremen: Not sure I'll be around for my next pick, but I should be able to re-populate my list.
(15:06:26) Alleghenies: and we have established what that means
(15:06:43) Codgers: in some cases!
(15:06:52) Wind_Dancers: meh i was trying to pick a color but meh ill just stick with black
(15:07:03) Borealis: My scout loves him - that's what you get when we've independent scouts!! It makes it so much interesting!!
(15:07:05) Harpoon: I have a RP nicknamed Stinky and that's exactly what he is.
(15:07:09) Codgers: Black goes with everything
(15:07:24) Bulldozers: Brown was taken #10 in the draft, so hands off!
(15:07:31) Akira: unless his nickname is 'dud'
(15:08:40) Trendsetters: not sure if Duane is at his computer or not...
(15:08:56) Trendsetters: we'll give him another 2-3 minutes
(15:09:02) Bulldozers: Didn't he switch to list picks?
(15:09:09) Akira: says it's a list pick
(15:09:14) Codgers: Shatner knocked him out during a drunken binge perhaps
(15:09:18) Trendsetters: he did, but he is logged in here that's why I hesitate
(15:09:42) Trendsetters: well, no answer from him so i'll go to his pick then
(15:09:47) Bulldozers: Look under Denny's cushions, see if he's hiding there.
(15:10:11) Trendsetters: Kentucky selects SP Brian 'Stinger' Gutiérrez
(15:10:22) Trendsetters: you got the podium, Kyle!
(15:10:28) Wind_Dancers: darn it, I was actually going to pick him :(
(15:10:40) Akira: #3 on my list
(15:10:49) Bulldozers: Next on my list too.
(15:10:51) Wind_Dancers: i changed my mind right before the pick lol, well alright
(15:11:00) Alleghenies: I was hoping he would go to 31
(15:11:06) Akira: almost took him but changed to OF last minute
(15:11:15) Zephyrs: I almost picked Stinger with #9
(15:11:41) Longshoremen: I like that pick. He was one of the three guys left on my 17 guy list at this stage. And now there are two. . .
(15:11:50) Trendsetters: He is from Horseheads, NY so he'll blend right in with the Throughbreds
(15:13:00) Wind_Dancers: With the 26th overall pick in the PEBA DRAFT, The TOYAMA WIND DANCERS SELECT SP DYLAN MCINTOSH!
(15:13:51) Trendsetters: really good choice
(15:13:52) Wind_Dancers: (Applause and cheering echos throughout the streets of Toyama)
(15:14:02) Coqui: I still have a few top guys left - Gutierrez had been one. But don't feel bad about trading my 2nd as I don't have a big draft budget
(15:14:06) Longshoremen: Liked him too.
(15:14:51) Wind_Dancers: how does pick trading work, can we make otc draft day trades?
(15:15:06) Trendsetters: Florida selects MR José Alomar. Son of Roberto perhaps?
(15:17:33) Alleghenies: nice
(15:17:35) Trendsetters: drafted players (in this draft) are unable to be traded until this year's playoffs are concluded
(15:17:56) Trendsetters: otherwise, trades can be done as usual. They just can't involve picks or players from this draft
(15:18:00) Akira: no draft day trades
(15:18:40) Akira: must be traded prior to the sim before draft
(15:18:55) Trendsetters: Aurora is up next with 2 picks in a row
(15:19:07) Wind_Dancers: alright
(15:19:15) Bulldozers: Speak to us, Will!
(15:20:24) Codgers: C/mon, evil empire, step on it!
(15:20:29) Akira: might be fun to have some NFL type draft day trades but that would be a nightmare for Reg
(15:20:59) Bulldozers: We don't want no stinkin' football influence in our beloved bat and ball game!
(15:21:02) Trendsetters: yeah it would be fun. the work involved would be huge, though, I agree
(15:21:23) Calzones: we have that in my otehr league. but we dont have live draft
(15:22:09) Trendsetters: physically switching draft picks is easy. but validating/answering PM's on the fly while running the draft would be the nightmare part
(15:22:12) Borealis: With the 28th pick in the first round of the PEBA Draft, Aurora takes linebacker Kellen Johnson out of Alabama...
(15:22:21) Borealis: Oops... Wrong draft...
(15:22:22) Admin: Codgers rolls 1d6 and gets 4.
(15:22:32) Bulldozers: Damn you!
(15:22:53) Bulldozers: Them Aurora boys got stars in their eyes.
(15:22:58) Borealis: With the 28th selection Aurora takes SP Brandon Waters of the Northwestern Purple Haze...
(15:23:06) Borealis: He was our top pitcher left...
(15:23:09) Trendsetters: I actually went to look for him in the list lol
(15:23:46) Trendsetters: you're up again, Mike
(15:23:52) Shisa: I had Waters rated pretty highly.
(15:24:10) Harpoon: I mean Aaron Judge looks like a linebacker so why not right?
(15:24:28) Trendsetters: ...and he is playing for the evil empire, too...
(15:24:34) Trendsetters: in an alternate universe, of course :P
(15:24:48) Bulldozers: Of which we should not speak.
(15:24:56) Admin: Calzones rolls 1d6 and gets 2.
(15:25:58) Borealis: With the 29th pick, Aurora selects LF Ricardo Zamora out of Aoyama Gakuin Mighty Missionaries...
(15:26:24) Alleghenies: grr
(15:26:27) Borealis: Our top hitter left - he was our #4 overall...
(15:26:44) Trendsetters: with the 30th pick, Arlington selects SP Greg Davidson
(15:27:02) Trendsetters: West Virginia to close out the first round
(15:27:14) Borealis: But he's going to be force fed RF and CF and pray his work ethic makes him into something - Roberto Martinez, #1 in 2023 has LF all but staked out...
(15:27:26) Borealis: Almost went Davidson...
(15:30:34) Trendsetters: @Alleghenies you're next to pick
(15:32:07) Alleghenies: I am looking
(15:32:28) Alleghenies: I had my next 2 guys picked last 2 picks
(15:32:31) Bulldozers: Want some help?
(15:32:45) Borealis: You're welcome...
(15:32:58) Borealis: :P
(15:33:09) Bulldozers: I could suggest who NOT to look at.
(15:33:46) Zephyrs: Go with the best nickname
(15:33:57) Borealis: There's a QB out of Northwestern Southern State East who's breaking all the Division IX records....
(15:34:31) Bulldozers: No talk of that other sport, please. Some of us are trying to concentrate.
(15:34:52) Coqui: Division IX? Is that like in Title IX
(15:37:28) Alleghenies: With the last pick in the 1st round, Alleghenies pick 3b Ramón Martínez...
(15:37:58) Bulldozers: Yuma selects SP Joaquin Cerda.
(15:38:00) Coqui: We could use a first female QB/P with a creative sense of direction
(15:38:07) Trendsetters: and with that, Round 1 is complete!
(15:38:37) Trendsetters: Yuma has been added, too
(15:38:40) Trendsetters: Kentucky next
(15:38:55) Trendsetters: Kentucky selects 1B Kokei Nishikawa
(15:39:06) Trendsetters: the Calzones are next to choose
(15:39:16) Codgers: Cerda was interesting
(15:39:23) Bulldozers: Merci.
(15:39:36) Trendsetters: he was second on my list actually
(15:39:39) Codgers: My scout was begging me to take him with tears in his eyes
(15:39:41) Calzones: SP Robby Black
(15:39:45) Alleghenies: I thought he had been drafted
(15:39:55) Alleghenies: That is why I skipped him
(15:39:58) Alleghenies: oh well
(15:40:23) Borealis: Yeah... but he has that UCL injury...
(15:40:23) Bulldozers: He has a torn rotator cuff, right?
(15:40:33) Akira: the torn ucl is a concern
(15:40:37) Trendsetters: Florida selects 1B William Allen
(15:41:06) Calzones: i noticed the injury
(15:42:00) Trendsetters: London selects MR Jorge Gonzáles
(15:42:33) Trendsetters: Neo-Tokyo is up next
(15:43:50) Borealis: I was hoping the UCL would get him to drop to the end f round 2...
(15:44:16) Akira: P Gegory Bradley
(15:45:17) Trendsetters: great
(15:45:22) Trendsetters: Scotland is up next to pick
(15:46:11) Trendsetters: I think Garrett is still here?
(15:46:18) Trendsetters: oh yeah, he is
(15:46:25) Claymores: Yes, I'm here.
(15:47:57) Claymores: Akira keeps taking taking my pick :P Claymores take LF Will Nelson
(15:48:13) Akira: just took mine!
(15:48:35) Trendsetters: :P
(15:48:41) Trendsetters: well, Ron, you're up haha
(15:49:22) Shisa: Or will Nelson go back for a sixth year of college?
(15:49:48) Claymores: Ha!
(15:49:57) Akira: 1B Jake 'Buzzsaw' Black
(15:49:59) Dinosaurs: He's trying to avoid the private sector
(15:50:09) Trendsetters: for those wondering, I will post a list (after the draft is done) of players that won't give their teams a compensation pick for failing to sign, since they themselves were compensations already
(15:50:20) Akira: gotta go guys
(15:50:38) Codgers: Bye Ron!
(15:50:46) Trendsetters: ok. cya Ron!
(15:51:07) Borealis: Hmmmmmm.... that would have been handy to start with...
(15:51:33) Trendsetters: Amsterdam selects SP Jorge López
(15:51:45) Admin: Akira has been logged out (Timeout).
(15:52:04) Trendsetters: I can put something up here in a few minutes
(15:52:13) Dinosaurs: Fargo selects 3B Ken'ichi Yamasaki
(15:52:44) Dinosaurs: Well, 3B in theory, we'll see if he sticks.
(15:52:44) Trendsetters: Reno is up
(15:53:01) Zephyrs: Reno selects LF Leonard Inman
(15:53:29) Trendsetters: We're on a roll! Yuma up next
(15:53:39) Borealis: That Jorge Lopez was ID 5874?
(15:53:46) Bulldozers: Yuma selects C Al Wallace.
(15:53:47) Codgers: Ratchet!
(15:54:03) Trendsetters: yup, Mike
(15:54:22) Evas: Wow, I'm actually going to wind up with a talent prospect. Apologies ahead of time for taking a few minutes
(15:55:25) Trendsetters: Canton, you're up next. James, did you want to pick or just use the list pick?
(15:55:31) Trendsetters: since you're here
(15:56:20) Trendsetters: Canton selects 1B Bob Little
(15:56:33) Trendsetters: Kevin, you're up next. take your time if you need some
(15:56:53) Borealis: That's a lot of 1B's already taken...
(15:57:14) Borealis: C'mon Evas... keep it moving...
(15:57:18) Calzones: i liked Yamasaki. but poor glove
(15:57:23) Borealis: >:-D
(15:57:43) Admin: Akira logs into the Chat.
(15:58:05) Akira: ..aaaaaaand I'm back
(15:59:36) Codgers Welcome Back, Kotter theme plays
(16:00:19) Dinosaurs: @Calzones yeah I think he ends up at 1B, but I'm going to stick him at 3B and hope he develops a little more range there.
(16:02:20) Evas: I'm not going to over think this. I'll go with the guy my scout thinks has the best bat in the class. SS selects 1B Hamilton Coffey
(16:02:40) Borealis: Another 1B...
(16:02:55) Trendsetters: The way OOTP handles compensation picks is very odd (they give them out like Santa Claus, regardless of round or if they were compensation picks themselves)
(16:03:08) Evas: My scout has him as an 8-7-9-9-6 offensive potential
(16:03:17) Trendsetters: so this year, here is the list of compensation picks, and for next year's draft, we will have this list as a reference :
Rd 1 - #3 Neo Tokyo
Rd 1 - #6 West Virginia
Rd 1 - #7 Scotland
Rd 1 - #11 Amsterdam
Rd 1 - #23 Duluth
Rd 2 - #39 Neo-Tokyo
Rd 2 - #58 Florida
Rd 3 - #66 Neo-Tokyo
Rd 3 - #71 West Virginia
Rd 3 - #72 Scotland
Rd 3 - #74 Yuma
Rd 3 - #83 Neo-Tokyo
Rd 3 - #92 Canton
Rd 3 - #94 Toyama
Rd 3 - #96 Yuma
(16:03:37) Evas: He has the highest score in my proprietary hitting score too.
(16:04:13) Trendsetters: you can add the supplementary round as ineligible to get compensation, too
(16:04:21) Evas: Jeffery Grier was the 2nd best rated, for what it's worth
(16:04:25) Trendsetters: so, that's the story on that!
(16:04:34) Wind_Dancers: my scout has hamilton at 3-4-4-6-5
(16:04:44) Trendsetters: wow!
(16:04:57) Borealis: Grier and Coffey were vastly different for me... I had Coffey at 14...
(16:05:28) Evas: Coffey wasn't my highest rated player, but he had the most offensive potential
(16:05:36) Trendsetters: Bakersfield select 2B Leland Young
(16:05:38) Borealis: Ah...
(16:05:40) Bulldozers: When Hamilton Coffey first gets called up to the majors for a cup of coffee, it will mean something.
(16:05:44) Trendsetters: I'm next. give me a few minutes, guys
(16:06:02) Borealis: :P:P:P:P:P
(16:06:42) Trendsetters: this is what I keep thinking
http://www.penguins-hockey-cards​.com/p ... fey_1b.jpg
(16:06:45) Dinosaurs: @Evas, my scout was pretty much the same regarding Coffey except it gave him a 1 contact. OSA had him at like an 8 I think for contact, and he looked fine from his college numbers regarding batting average so I think my scout is way off on that one skill for some reason.
(16:07:24) Wind_Dancers: yeah my scout is just favor tools
(16:07:33) Dinosaurs: @Trendsetters yeah I remember Paul COffey, solid player.
(16:08:03) Trendsetters: indeed
(16:08:24) Borealis: My Scout was 7-5-6-6-5...
(16:08:54) Bulldozers: My scout was 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... zzzzzz ...
(16:08:57) Evas: That is a lot of variation. High risk high reward pick i guess
(16:09:26) Borealis: The disparity is actually pretty amazing...
(16:09:34) Codgers: I think there is more diversity in scouts' views in OOTP17
(16:09:36) Trendsetters: New Orleans select MR Michael Thompson
(16:09:48) Trendsetters: the 'fog of war' ... i like it :)
(16:09:50) Codgers: Because people are all over the place now
(16:09:58) Evas: Yeah much more than normal. Some times there are guys that love a player and guys that hate them. You dont ususally see such a mix
(16:10:19) Trendsetters: yeah, the term 'consensus #1 pick' used to float around a lot more
(16:11:12) Trendsetters: Kalamazoo selects CF Raul Reyes
(16:11:15) Dinosaurs: Hamilton Coffey is a high school pick too, so there's a bit more haziness because of that too., certainly high risk/high reward type.
(16:11:28) Trendsetters: Hartford is up next!
(16:11:53) Harpoon: Hartford selects P Mike Jones out of West Virginia
(16:12:40) Codgers: Arr, he was on my list of 2!
(16:12:46) Trendsetters: Duluth selects SP Masanobu Fujimoto
(16:13:09) Dinosaurs: Yeah I had him 5th on my list currently, (and Fujimoto 4th! blah)
(16:14:08) Harpoon: He looks like a future reliable #3 to me
(16:14:25) Harpoon: 3 or 4 rather
(16:14:28) Calzones: gimme a sec
(16:14:55) Trendsetters: sure, no problem Simon
(16:15:08) Evas: Alright that does it for me today. I've traded away everything else. Later, guys.
(16:15:28) Trendsetters: later, Kevin!
(16:15:45) Codgers: Bye Kevin
(16:15:57) Calzones: SS Jeff van der Eijk
(16:16:00) Dinosaurs: See ya Kevin
(16:16:33) Trendsetters: Morris, it's your pick now
(16:16:47) Borealis: See Ya Kevin!
(16:16:54) Admin: Evas has been logged out (Timeout).
(16:18:37) Shisa: P Reed Garcia.
(16:19:15) Trendsetters: the Leones are up next!
(16:19:47) Leones: Havana selects 3B Dave Henderson
(16:20:17) Trendsetters: Codgers, you're next!
(16:20:32) Borealis: Hendu!!!
(16:21:19) Bulldozers: Denny will need a moment to boot his computer, then download OOTP, then ...
(16:21:42) Trendsetters: :D
(16:22:00) Codgers: Wait....what's a computer?
(16:23:01) Admin: Borealis rolls 1d6 and gets 6.
(16:23:13) Admin: Borealis has been logged out (Timeout).
(16:23:13) Admin: Borealis logs into the Chat.
(16:23:23) Bulldozers: It'll all come back to you in a minute, Denny. Or two or three ...
(16:23:41) Codgers: PS selects MR Cipriano Ruíz
(16:23:52) Codgers: Another SP candidate
(16:24:08) Admin: Longshoremen has been logged out (Timeout).
(16:24:38) Bulldozers: Nice choice, Denny. I was surprised he lasted so long.
(16:24:53) Trendsetters: West Virginia picks next
(16:25:08) Borealis: Those MR that look like they might be good starters sometimes dip once placed in that role - always a scary concept...
(16:25:50) Trendsetters: that's what I got in the second round with Thompson. I don't mind keeping him as a solid reliever if he doesn't do well at SP though
(16:26:29) Alleghenies: debating
(16:26:34) Alleghenies: I have it down to 2 guys
(16:26:39) Codgers: Yes, if worst comes to worst we have another bullpen guy
(16:28:02) Trendsetters: one of my former starters is actually our closer now. although he only had two real pitches to begin with, but he was at least worth a try..
(16:30:42) Alleghenies: The Alleghenies chose SP Joe Russell
(16:31:25) Trendsetters: Kentucky picks C Gabriel Castro
(16:31:42) Trendsetters: The team formerly known as the Cliff Hangers is next
(16:31:45) Trendsetters: (Toyama, that is)
(16:32:49) Borealis: Manny's brothers...??
(16:33:47) Wind_Dancers: and Toyama takes, the man out of Purdue, SP YO YAMADA!!
(16:35:04) Wind_Dancers: Personality description, A clubhouse prankster who can really unite a team -- though he really should spend more time on baseball and less time on practical jokes
(16:35:31) Trendsetters: hahaha
(16:35:37) Trendsetters: he'll get the team loose
(16:35:44) Trendsetters: or paranoid
(16:35:59) Bulldozers: The Bulldozers look forward to driving some of his practical jokes back through the pitcher's box!
(16:36:21) Wind_Dancers: his personality is Very High Loyalty Intelligence and Leadership, but really low Desire for win, Greed and Work ethic
(16:37:01) Trendsetters: so, like a Bartolo Colon
(16:37:02) Bulldozers: Sounds like Jim Bouton in his youth.
(16:37:10) Trendsetters: then again, Bartolo works hard somewhat
(16:37:27) Dinosaurs: Featherheads aren't here, right?
(16:37:31) Trendsetters: although dont know how much of his longevity is medical or gym-related
(16:37:58) Bulldozers: Kevin of the Featherheads is absent.
(16:38:12) Trendsetters: Florida selects SS Stan Joyce and SP Juan Arias
(16:38:22) Trendsetters: Ken*
(16:38:26) Trendsetters: of the Featherheads
(16:38:29) Trendsetters: :P
(16:38:37) Sandgnats: :D
(16:38:39) Trendsetters: old habits are hard to break
(16:39:06) Calzones: shit my pick
(16:39:07) Codgers: Well, Kevin of the Featherheads is also absent
(16:39:22) Trendsetters: I suppose his statement wasn't wrong :P
(16:39:23) Bulldozers: Yes they are. Especially when the habit and the habituate are both OLD.
(16:40:21) Codgers: :D
(16:40:34) Trendsetters: hehe
(16:40:44) Trendsetters: Simon is working on his pick
(16:43:42) Calzones: 3b guillermo padilla
(16:44:26) Dinosaurs: Okay guys I've got a date with the wife to see Guardians of the Galaxy, so I'm outta here. Auto List Pick is on for me. Good luck to everyone!
(16:44:47) Trendsetters: oooooo
(16:44:53) Trendsetters: have fun
(16:45:10) Trendsetters: by the way, Aurora picks next
(16:45:16) Borealis: With the 61st pick in the 2025 draft, Aurora selects 2B Arthur Bonsail out of Southern Miss...

(16:47:06) Trendsetters: Arlington chooses SP Ramon Pereira
(16:47:10) Trendsetters: Yuma is up next
(16:47:13) Borealis: Highest rated INF left... A bit worried about his WE and ability not to K, but he has power and we're looking to up the ante a bit there... He's going to be force fed third just as Zamora will be RF...
(16:48:03) Bulldozers: Concluding the second round of the 2025 draft, Yuma selects SS Jose Marquez.
(16:48:06) Akira: Pierra was impossible for us to sign
(16:48:18) Akira: but good potebtial
(16:49:07) Trendsetters: onwards to the third and final round of the day!
(16:49:20) Akira: 2 Jse Marquezs in this draft
(16:49:25) Trendsetters: London selects CF René Lems
(16:49:46) Trendsetters: Ron, you have the podium for two picks
(16:50:24) Bulldozers: No confusion on the Marquezes. One plays catcher, the one I drafted plays SS.
(16:50:35) Akira: ok, 1 min
(16:51:10) Codgers: Not even for some kind of Parent Trap-style hijinks?
(16:51:33) Akira: SS Kenkichi Hakui
(16:51:59) Akira: P Alec Jordan
(16:53:39) Trendsetters: Alright, Scotland picks next!
(16:54:04) Claymores: CF Vic Smith
(16:54:06) Codgers: Ah, young Alec was on my list
(16:54:11) Codgers: Now I must create a new list
(16:54:46) Borealis: Drats NT...
(16:54:47) Trendsetters: Reno is up next!
(16:55:14) Zephyrs: Reno selects 1B Caden Maynor
(16:55:34) Trendsetters: I wonder why... lol
(16:55:35) Zephyrs: don't tell my wife I waited til rd 3 to select our son
(16:55:52) Borealis: Is that nepotism??
(16:55:56) Bulldozers: You have a son named Maynor?
(16:55:58) Zephyrs: yep
(16:56:19) Shisa: Dang, was hoping to hold Caden hostage.
(16:56:43) Trendsetters: Fargo selects CF Rick Adams
(16:56:52) Trendsetters: Scott, you're up again!
(16:56:55) Bulldozers: But Scott dances to a different CADENence.
(16:57:06) Trendsetters: * badum, tish *
(16:57:44) Zephyrs: CF Eugene Gray
(16:58:24) Trendsetters: West Virginia next!
(16:59:38) Trendsetters: 70 picks down, only 27 picks to go!
(16:59:49) Sandgnats: Good job guys!
(17:02:15) Trendsetters: just making sure you're here, Greg?
(17:02:48) Alleghenies: yep
(17:03:01) Trendsetters: ok cool
(17:03:29) Harpoon: I've had as guy in my top 10 this entire time. But the more I look at him, the less I like him
(17:03:38) Harpoon: *a guy
(17:03:48) Alleghenies: 3 guys I wanted to drafted all say impossible to sign
(17:03:51) Alleghenies: GRRRRR
(17:04:15) Bulldozers: The more you look at any of them, the less appealing they become.
(17:04:20) Borealis: 8)8)8)
(17:04:42) Borealis: There's still good value out there!!
(17:04:45) Bulldozers: Don't believe that "Impossible to Sign" crap. I've signed every single one of those picks by simply offering more money than they ask for.
(17:04:46) Codgers: Yep, all of them are terrible. VeRy UNDERWHELMING
(17:05:15) Coqui: Some character issue guys coming up for me but might have to take one.
(17:06:44) Alleghenies: Alleghenis chose C Francisco Casillán
(17:08:11) Shisa: The trick with 'impossible' is you usually only get one bite at the apple. If they don't like your initial bonus offer, they don't make a counter offer. They walk.
(17:08:33) Borealis: Yup!!
(17:08:33) Alleghenies: Yeah, but on a pick I don't get comp for I don't want to take the risk
(17:09:06) Bulldozers: It's a game! Take the risk! Have some fun!
(17:09:29) Trendsetters: Scotland is up next!
(17:09:37) Alleghenies: I have taken risks, has led me to a 38 win year so far and the pretty decent minor league system ;-)
(17:09:45) Trendsetters: then two picks for Yuma afterwards
(17:09:56) Bulldozers: Yuma is ready with both.
(17:11:49) Trendsetters: just checking up on ya, Garrett. you working on your pick?
(17:12:00) Claymores: Yes, just a sec.
(17:12:06) Coqui: I got 3 picks left I like. Four going ahead of me
(17:12:12) Trendsetters: ok no problem
(17:12:36) Trendsetters: to everyone : when your picks comes up, just put a message up so we know you're working on your pick :)
(17:12:43) Harpoon: So this guy I was talking about, he got hurt for 3-4 months in 2022 and has been sitting on the college disabled list since then.
(17:12:56) Bulldozers: Or post your pick, instantly!
(17:13:00) Harpoon: But he has still developed according to my scout
(17:13:01) Codgers: As long as the message isn't "I'm NOT working on my pick"
(17:13:16) Bulldozers: >:-D
(17:13:52) Coqui: DL guy was Gutierrez I think
(17:14:17) Claymores: CF Mark Livingston
(17:14:22) Bulldozers: Yuma selects SP Edward Randolph.
(17:14:35) Bulldozers: Yuma selects C Ed Holder.
(17:14:55) Harpoon: Nope this guy is still available. His college roster is full so he may be stuck there
(17:15:55) Claymores: Randolph was my other choice. I'll be curious to see how he turns out
(17:16:15) Coqui: I have him about 6th from now
(17:16:16) Codgers: I was *just* looking at Randoplh! Big producer for the Campaniles this year
(17:16:18) Bulldozers: Me too. I'm hopeful. He has a very old fashioned name.
(17:16:19) Coqui: had him
(17:17:06) Trendsetters: Canton selects SS Manny Arias
(17:17:15) Trendsetters: San Juan up next
(17:18:06) Coqui: I'll select C Michael Carlson
(17:18:44) Trendsetters: Bakersfield selects CF Paul Mitchell
(17:18:52) Trendsetters: my turn. gimmie a few
(17:19:16) Coqui: Carlson a little off the board for me but really want a C in the draft and can't argue with his college hitting
(17:20:05) Sandgnats: nice pick for Bakersfield. He has great hair.
(17:20:31) Borealis: OMG for BAK - may scout has Mitchell being the second-coming of dirt...
(17:21:52) Borealis: He was like 1300 on my list 8o... Was that a StatsLab pick??
(17:22:17) Trendsetters: a list pick for BAK actually
(17:22:20) Codgers: He was rated decently by my scout

#3 Post by Ghosts »

Fog of war aspect is definitely in play. My scout had Paul Mitchell as a fringe 6-6-6-8-6 with 9 OF range and 10 speed. Thought he was a nice sleeper but looks like the rest of the league isn't so high on him. Great hair though in any case. Free Tea Tree shampoo for the whole organization.

Also, not sure what the consensus on Jose Garcia or Leland Young were but I had them at #2, and 14 on my board. Mitchell was 15. I did flat out leave a lot of players off my list that I think were better than them in presumption that they would be gone. Maybe with the fog of war aspect I should rank everyone. As a USC guy, I see Aurora poking the Bear lol... I really liked Joey Walker and was happy to get Jose Garcia. Fight on.

I love the fact that each scout has their own opinions, it makes for an interesting draft. I got #1 on my board at 17 simply because my scout see's him differently.

When my scout reported his ratings for this year's draft pool, I got depressed. I had deliberately traded some talented players to accumulate early draft picks hoping to rebuild our moribund minor league system, but the damn scout rated NO ONE with 5 stars, only a handful with 4 stars, and not even many with 3 stars. Hundreds of one star ratings though.

Then I selected the OOTP ratings rather than my scout's, and there were dozens of 5 star players. Well, no question whose list I wanted to work from after that!

Now I am considering firing my scout and replacing him with a Magic 8 Ball.

From my perspective, seemed like a pitching heavy draft with not a lot of top hitting people. Not sure if my scout was correct or corrupted by the real Paul Mitchell. Even if this guy sucks, it's gonna give me a ton of writing material.

I was in a similar situation. only three 4.5 stars, then an average chunk of 4 and 3 stars.

I agreed with my scout on the top 2 players. We both felt the top pitcher was Alfonso Ramos and the top hitter Jeffrey Grier. After that, we diverged a great deal. By the time my pick came up I ignored my scout completely. He had Jose Martines ranked 33rd and I selected him at #9. He was quite angry with me. We started yelling at each other and I reminded him that he works for me.

That would be a more cost effective move.

He needs to be given a nickname to add to that classic name... something like Paul 'buzz cut' Mitchell or Paul 'pompadour' Mitchell.

Day 2 : Rounds 4-15

(11:58:30) Alleghenies: 45 people on my list :-)
(12:35:13) Bears: ruh roh did I get the time of draft wrong or are people just late arriving?
(12:43:27) Sandgnats: no it doesn't start until 1pm eastern. you are cool Bobby
(12:45:08) Bears: Thanks sir, for some reason I had Noon Eastern in my head.
(12:46:01) Admin: Sandgnats rolls 1d6 and gets 6.
(12:46:38) Sandgnats: ofcourse.... this is my favorite part of the draft
(12:47:17) Sandgnats: round 15 is where it gets real good
(12:54:05) Alleghenies: I have a list of 50 :-)
(12:55:24) Alleghenies: Was trying to get one to 100, but I gave up at 1 AM
(12:56:36) Akira: I have a list of 112, 20 picks today
(12:57:41) Akira: cleaning house
(12:58:00) Akira: I have an aging minor league
(12:58:36) Leones: Hello all!
(12:59:14) Akira: heya
(13:00:04) Coqui: 122 for me but the last 15 or so are catchers and impossible to sign guys
(13:00:29) Borealis: Hey Guys!!
(13:00:46) Shisa: Alright. We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there. Twelve rounds of draft in three hours (hopefully). Quick review of the rules for day two of the draft: members who are present will have three minutes to get their picks in, members who are not logged in to chat will go to list pick or auto pick, depending on the status of their list.
(13:01:01) Bears: Hello all!
(13:01:08) Borealis: I'm on the move this Beautiful SF Morning - but I'll be back soon... I've no 4th round pick...
(13:01:27) Leones: You can just set me to immediate list pick. No need to waste any time with our picks.
(13:01:35) Akira: so do 'impossible' to sign picks below 3rd round automaticly get signed or do they refuse to report?
(13:01:47) Akira: I wonder...
(13:02:24) Alleghenies: You will have to sign them
(13:02:27) Coqui: I am guessing much later to draft them is safer
(13:02:32) Alleghenies: not all guys drafted after round 3 sign
(13:02:39) Shisa: Lon takes P Jose Garcia. Ron, you're up.
(13:02:55) Akira: P David Kirk
(13:04:45) Akira: only 1 pick this round...
(13:05:39) Shisa: Edinburgh takes P Santiago Betancourt.
(13:05:43) Akira: some interesting players left
(13:06:26) Shisa: Amsterdam selects 3B Brian Fairchild.
(13:06:49) Bears: Have never done a league like this before, curious to see if just throwing money at the hard and extremely hard guys results in signings or not..... Do you just lose them with no comp if that happens or do you get a pick next year for it?
(13:07:15) Shisa: Fargo selects 3B Cody Gould.
(13:07:19) Borealis: Late round impossible are just as impossible - hit them with your best shot - you get one chance... I lost an 8th/11th rounder like that last year...
(13:07:48) Harpoon: Those are usually the high school kids heading to college
(13:08:10) Shisa: Run on third baseman continues, with Reno selecting 3B Dexter Harris.
(13:08:44) Shisa: Yuma select P Cisco Pérez.
(13:09:10) Akira: @Bears you just lose the pick, no comp picks after 3rd round
(13:09:41) Shisa: Canton selects P Clancy Farley. Almost to Bakersfield...
(13:09:48) Codgers: Consarned Neo-Tokyo took my guy already I see! *shakes fist*
(13:10:07) Coqui: I pick 2b ken gonzalez
(13:11:01) Bears: Bears up I believe...
(13:11:12) Shisa: Bears are up.
(13:11:18) Bears: Bears select SS Norm Moore.
(13:12:59) Shisa: NOLA selects P Mark Williford.
(13:13:44) Shisa: Kalamazoo selects 3B Millard Shields.
(13:13:59) Shisa: Harpoon are up.
(13:14:30) Harpoon: Hartford selects P Andrew Pearson, Klein-Collins HS
(13:15:50) Shisa: Duluth selects P Ken Abrams.
(13:16:37) Shisa: San Antonio selects LF Homer Curry. Great name.
(13:17:00) Bears: Stef's cousin who bucked the family trend and went with baseball
(13:17:40) Shisa: Okinawa selects P Barney Swanson.
(13:17:42) Akira: He also hits alot of foul shots apparently
(13:17:55) Akira: j/k
(13:18:23) Leones: Havana selects SP Charlie Holman
(13:18:24) Shisa: Havana selects P Charlie Holman.
(13:18:32) Shisa: Indeed.
(13:18:42) Codgers: I am up?
(13:18:53) Shisa: Palm Springs is up.
(13:19:56) Codgers: PS selects SP Ash Thompson
(13:20:22) Shisa: Reno is up.
(13:20:45) Zephyrs: SP Stanford Reed
(13:21:07) Zephyrs: I am trying to multi task the draft and yard work. The wife is giving me the evil eye. I will keep my list updated but will be spotty in the chatroom.
(13:21:44) Bears: Good luck!
(13:21:52) Coqui: Homer Curry can open an Indian restaurant if his baseball career falls off
(13:22:30) Akira: he'll need some seasoning either way
(13:22:40) Shisa: Kentucky selects SS Gary Davis.
(13:22:46) Borealis: And I am back...
(13:22:53) Borealis: You guys are cruising!!
(13:23:00) Akira: nice pick
(13:23:35) Shisa: Toyama selects LF Dean Scott.
(13:23:41) Akira: highest rated IF left
(13:24:15) Bears: I liked Gary Davis too, I was debating between him and Norm Moore on the last pick.
(13:24:20) Shisa: I'd say above average attendance for day two this year. Usually it's just me, Denny, and the commish at this point.
(13:25:02) Alleghenies: Alleghenies select P Ricardo Lopez
(13:25:07) Shisa: Florida selects RF Lorne Richardson.
(13:26:56) Codgers: Usually the shorter time limit for Day 2 means not much free time for chatting
(13:27:08) Sandgnats: I'm just here for the leftover pizza
(13:27:15) Shisa: Amsterdam selects 3B Jeff Sutton.
(13:27:37) Bears: The chatting is most of the fun
(13:27:55) Bears: I love the different evaluations of players teams have.
(13:28:00) Shisa: Arlington selects C Robert Phillips.
(13:28:03) Harpoon: Hartford selects RF Siu-chung Duan, out of Hamilton Canada
(13:28:16) Bears: So cool to me since I'm used to the leagues where everyone sees the exact same ratings
(13:28:49) Alleghenies: I am hoping to make it through round 5 as I have to leave for a basketball tournament
(13:29:44) Shisa: This completes round 4. London selects P Norman Morrison with the first pick in Round 5.
(13:30:03) Shisa: Over to Ron...
(13:30:16) Akira: P Jose Santana
(13:30:21) Borealis: Phew... all caught up only list...
(13:31:41) Shisa: Claymores select SS Johnny Andrews.
(13:32:11) Shisa: Lions select P Joe Mills.
(13:32:47) Shisa: Dinos select 2B William Flannery.
(13:33:02) Shisa: Zephyrs are up.
(13:34:08) Akira: so far, I've gotten the top 2 on my list
(13:34:21) Shisa: My list is down to one name.
(13:34:33) Coqui: I'm still on my top 30
(13:35:09) Bears: So basically everyone is still drafting 4 star guys per their scout?
(13:35:37) Coqui: 3.5...didn't have that many above
(13:35:42) Zephyrs: SS Adam Schmitt
(13:35:58) Zephyrs: I am going to have to go to auto. Sorry.
(13:36:16) Bears: Your scout doesnt have an eye for talent like mine does, he found Paul Mitchell at a cosmotology conference.
(13:36:17) Shisa: No problem, Scott.
(13:36:47) Shisa: I don't think my scout found enough four stars to fill round one.
(13:36:48) Akira: He had style
(13:37:11) Bears: Is it like this every year or has OOTP17 increased the fog of war aspect>
(13:37:28) Borealis: I hear he loves the Buzz pitch!!
(13:37:44) Coqui: Tool scouts rate guys higher
(13:37:56) Shisa: Yuma selects P Carl Powell.
(13:38:05) Bears: What's funny is everyone thought he was garbage, I contemplated taking him in Rd 2 so I was thrilled with Rd 3 haha
(13:38:07) Borealis: There's a tremendous amount of variation in opinions this year...0
(13:38:28) Akira: I'm always surprised by who gets passed over and I'm able to draft in later rounds
(13:38:30) Shisa: Canton selects SS Jesús Ochoa.
(13:38:34) Bears: He did hit .151 in HS this year, so maybe you guys are on to something.
(13:38:48) Borealis: That's twice L-men....
(13:38:54) Shisa: Coqui are up.
(13:39:06) Coqui: Coqui take P Bryan Scott
(13:39:10) Alleghenies: With my 3rd first round pick this year the guy I took I never plan on signing and getting a 1st next year
(13:39:14) Borealis: My top two guys both went to Canton...
(13:39:38) Bears: Good job Canton
(13:39:42) Borealis: :|
(13:39:43) Bears: keep the talent out of Aurora
(13:40:09) Shisa: Bakersfield up.
(13:40:21) Bears: Bears select SP Turlough Rainforth, an Irish college pitcher who loves Guiness.
(13:40:53) Sandgnats: I'll donate CP for that nickname
(13:41:18) Coqui: I have a couple bad character guys already which I don't care for
(13:41:25) Codgers: He doesn't really need a nickname with a name like that
(13:41:41) Harpoon: Turlough "What day is it" Rainforth
(13:41:43) Coqui: But scout says they dropped
(13:41:45) Shisa: NOLA selects P Ánibal Álvarez.
(13:42:15) Alleghenies: darn, was hoping he'd last until my pick
(13:42:23) Shisa: Badgers select 2B Carl Angwin.
(13:42:38) Shisa: Harpoon are up.
(13:42:50) Harpoon: Hartford selects C Dae-hyun Paek from Cambridge
(13:43:08) Harpoon: very high Int from Cambridge, makes sense
(13:43:19) Bears: Good pick.
(13:44:05) Bears: He was #3 on my list coming into the day, got 1&2 so far, was hoping he'd fall too.
(13:44:13) Shisa: Warriors select C Mauro Parra.
(13:44:56) Shisa: Calzones select P Turner Lyons.
(13:45:45) Shisa: Okinawa selects P Julián Ocasio.
(13:46:38) Shisa: Leones are up.
(13:47:38) Alleghenies: There is a guy I see in OOTP but not in Statslab....
(13:47:55) Leones: Havana selects 2B Vaughn Davidson
(13:47:56) Bears: Rice?
(13:48:08) Codgers: Yes I have observed that behavior also
(13:48:14) Coqui: I came across two of those not in StatsLab
(13:48:28) Alleghenies: me too
(13:48:31) Codgers: I was just going to try to sign them as FAs after the draft
(13:48:40) Alleghenies: Are they draftable?
(13:49:27) Shisa: Codgers are up.
(13:49:41) Bears: agents didnt file the right paperwork
(13:49:42) Codgers: PS selects 3B Pancho Sousa
(13:49:57) Borealis: I think that some of the guys who didn't sign last year don't necessarily show up in StatsLab...
(13:50:05) Codgers: Our first non-pitcher of this draft!
(13:50:35) Borealis: I also think that there seems to be a severe shortage of guys who actually play more than one position well in this draft...
(13:50:55) Shisa: Evas select CF George Dempsey.
(13:52:33) Shisa: I think Ootp includes unsigned amateurs from previous years in its pool, and they don't transfer over to Statslab.
(13:53:20) Shisa: Kentucky picks CF Robinson Sandoval.
(13:53:25) Borealis: Yup... Agreed...
(13:53:52) Alleghenies: No because I didn't sign Will Nelson
(13:53:55) Alleghenies: and he showed up
(13:53:57) Shisa: If you believe you found a player that should be in the statslab pool, and isn't, let me know.
(13:54:25) Shisa: Another quirk in Ootp is the fifth year of college.
(13:54:37) Bears: Gonna try to hold on until the Rd 6 pick but the fiancee has finally awakened and is ready for the pool.
(13:54:39) Akira: Jotaro Yamamoto is one
(13:55:09) Shisa: Toyama selects RF Jorge Altagracia.
(13:55:17) Akira: Leo-Pier Boargault/Cisco Perez/Spencer Bpould/Hiroshige Iida
(13:55:29) Akira: are the ones I saw
(13:55:52) Bears: David Rice
(13:55:56) Bears: is another
(13:56:35) Akira: *Bould
(13:57:29) Bears: Sorry, Bill Rice not David.
(13:57:43) Shisa: Florida selects P Ricardo Cabrera.
(13:57:50) Alleghenies: Alleghenies select SS Dave "don't call me crocodile"Dundee
(13:58:28) Coqui: Crocs don't move sideways well. Not what you want in a SS
(13:58:53) Borealis: LOLOLOLOL
(13:59:32) Codgers: :-)
(13:59:56) Alleghenies: come on Borealis pick, so I can go :-)
(14:00:07) Shisa: Aurora is up.
(14:01:10) Borealis: Oh... I'm sorry Alleghenies...
(14:01:18) Borealis: I'm not working on my oick...
(14:01:22) Borealis: *pick
(14:01:31) Borealis: I'm frying up some eggs...
(14:01:36) Borealis: Making coffee...
(14:01:39) Alleghenies: yum
(14:01:40) Borealis: >:-D
(14:01:43) Borealis: Out of Outback State Aurora selects the Extremely Hard to sign SP Craig White... with a prayer...
(14:01:46) Alleghenies: I'll be right over
(14:01:51) Bears: He says that, but that's what delayed my Rd 4 pick
(14:02:53) Borealis: Is that how you need up with Paul Mitchell?
(14:03:01) Borealis: *ended
(14:03:12) Borealis: (I hate auto correct somethings...)
(14:03:16) Shisa: Arlington selects P José Miranda.
(14:04:07) Shisa: Kentucky selects CF Chang Su.
(14:04:26) Shisa: Greg?
(14:05:02) Alleghenies: Sorry I heard eggs
(14:05:09) Alleghenies: went into food thoughts
(14:05:37) Alleghenies: Alleghenies select Bill "Cannon"Rice
(14:05:55) Bears: Haha, I ended up with Paul Mitchell when his dad gave my scout a spot on the board, and passed him off as a 4 star guy to me.
(14:06:12) Shisa: This concludes Round 5.
(14:06:33) Alleghenies: Thanks guys, I am going to list now
(14:06:37) Bears: Well guys, it's been fine but I gotta throw it onto List Picking, I've got about 20 left on my list so hopefully gets me through a few picks. Enjoy!
(14:06:41) Alleghenies: Have a great rest of draft.
(14:06:49) Bears: been fun*, you know or fine works too
(14:06:58) Akira: c ya
(14:07:02) Codgers: Bye
(14:07:09) Borealis: Who is Bill Rice?
(14:07:26) Shisa: Hold up, Greg. I'm not finding Bill Rice.
(14:07:41) Borealis: Jeff Rice?
(14:07:43) Akira: SP out of H/S
(14:08:10) Akira: He's in OOTP, maybe not statslab
(14:08:58) Borealis: He's in OOTP - and looks great - but has zero stats...
(14:09:24) Akira: don't see him in statslab
(14:10:07) Bureaucrats: HTML makes it look like he was created 6/1/2025 for some reason?
(14:10:24) Harpoon: That's what it says in game too
(14:10:24) Coqui: Apparently his HS team could never find him either
(14:10:32) Shisa: Yeah, he joined a IHS team the day before the draft? Fishy.
(14:10:34) Bureaucrats: Did OOTP create a guy too old for the league, and made him immediately eligible for the draft?
(14:10:47) Borealis: He is in the draft list in game...
(14:10:51) Akira: He's 18
(14:12:36) Borealis: That kind of kills making your list ahead if nuggets like that appear at the last second...
(14:14:08) Akira: can they be drafted in game manually?
(14:14:22) Coqui: Was never OSA scouted
(14:14:55) Codgers: Regardless of how this case is decided, for the future I'd be in favor of only allowing players in Statslab to be selected on draft day.
(14:15:02) Shisa: It's possible he was created after the draft list was imported to statslab, but even so, why would a player like this exist?
(14:15:26) Akira: that's the 7th one I've seen
(14:15:56) Akira: in game draft pool but not in Statslab
(14:16:01) Borealis: I agree with Denny...
(14:17:10) Sandgnats: I've also noticed this bug a few times too
(14:18:02) Borealis: Most of those guys who are back in the pool suck anyway...
(14:19:01) Akira: hey, their mothers could be listening...
(14:19:35) Shisa: I literally cannot enter that pick, so West Virginia will need to select somebody else or I will auto pick for them. Alleghenies are on the clock.
(14:20:20) Borealis: I'd say lets take note of that and take his top list pick...
(14:20:39) Borealis: That way we keep moving...
(14:21:09) Shisa: Since, he's still logged in, if AFK, he gets his three minutes.
(14:22:22) Borealis: Let's shout - maybe he'll hear us!!
(14:22:32) Borealis: GREG!!! ARE YOU THERE???
(14:22:37) Borealis: :-*:-*:-*
(14:23:45) Leones: shhh you'll wake up Denny :)
(14:24:05) Borealis: :P:P:P:P:P:P
(14:24:37) Codgers: *srrnx* Eh? What? WHAT'S HAPPENING IS THIS THE END TIMES!?!?!?
(14:24:53) Shisa: Boargault and Perez I can't figure out.
(14:24:53) Codgers: Oh, it's just the draft....thank heavens
(14:25:07) Shisa: Spencer Bould is a free agent.
(14:26:38) Shisa: Iida I also can't figure.
(14:26:52) Akira: next time I will let whoever know before the draft, if there's something that can be done
(14:27:22) Borealis: For what it's worth, I was able to add him to my StatsLab draft list...
(14:27:26) Shisa: Anyway. West Virginia selects LF Javier Trujillo to end Round 5.
(14:28:35) Shisa: On to Round 6. London selects CF Dwight Ehles.
(14:28:53) Akira: Neo-Tokyo selects P Ernesto Olivas
(14:28:56) Shisa: Ron, you are up.
(14:29:43) Borealis: Dwight? Was that Alan's son??
(14:29:52) Shisa: Claymores select 3B César García.
(14:30:19) Shisa: Lions select P Steve Sanders.
(14:30:46) Shisa: Dinos select C Christian Green.
(14:31:23) Shisa: Zephyrs select C Bartolo Trujillo.
(14:31:29) Borealis: I was wondering when Green was coming off the board - He had a high hitter ranking by my metric, but I hated his defense...
(14:31:33) Trendsetters: you guys can keep using my list when my turn comes. i'm sort of in and out. got a few things on the go at the same time
(14:32:12) Shisa: Yuma selects C Kazu Kawaguchi.
(14:32:39) Shisa: Canton selects 3B Bill Lynch.

(14:36:16) Harpoon: Hartford selects P Jorge Hart, West Lauderdale HS

(14:37:38) Shisa: Duluth selects 1B Cecil Beard
(14:38:14) Shisa: Calzones select 2B Rhett Wellings
(14:39:40) Akira: Hart was my next choice
(14:40:29) Harpoon: If he can figure out a 3rd pitch he could be a starter, but won't be awful in relief if he doesn't
(14:43:32) Shisa: Okinawa selects 1B Ryan Byers.
(14:44:04) Shisa: Bringing us to Havana.
(14:44:28) Leones: Havana selects RF Dan Grant

(14:48:10) Shisa: Kentucky selects CF Richard Randall.
(14:48:36) Shisa: Toyama selects P Silvio Bolt.
(14:48:39) Akira: Who is it? I'll let you know...
(14:49:10) Shisa: Florida selects P Juan Alfmana.
(14:49:14) Codgers: :P
(14:49:18) Harpoon: Thought about taking Bolt for a few rounds now. But that torn rotator cuff scares me
(14:50:40) Codgers: It is pretty interesting though, Ron, that you seem to be the only one whose scout and/or rating system is similar to mine today
(14:51:01) Shisa: WV selects P Rocky Martin.
(14:51:12) Codgers: It used to be I was always fighting over the same prospects with several other teams
(14:51:29) Akira: Rocky Martin HIIiiiighhh
(14:52:01) Akira: I'll keep that in mind if you draft ahead of me next time
(14:52:09) Codgers: heh
(14:52:41) Akira: may have to trade up
(14:52:53) Borealis: The Draft Board show's someone else for WV...
(14:53:15) Borealis: There we go...
(14:54:08) Borealis: Aurora drafts Mystery Pitcher Bill Rice...
(14:54:23) Codgers: Security, escort this man off the premises
(14:54:25) Borealis: To be traded, presumably, to WV for Rocky Martin...
(14:54:44) Borealis: Martin was my pick for the round...
(14:54:44) Shisa: Nothing makes sense anymore...
(14:54:53) Borealis: :-*:-*:-*:-*:-*:-*
(14:55:20) Borealis: I'l PM Greg about it...
(14:55:26) Coqui: Looks like a big risk to me...hasn't shown up for anything in life yet
(14:55:45) Shisa: ARL selects 1B Alex Dean.
(14:55:52) Akira: how did you do that, I don't see him
(14:56:19) Shisa: SA selects P Mike Vaughn.
(14:56:57) Codgers: Where did Bill Rice come from?
(14:57:11) Alleghenies: Hey
(14:57:21) Alleghenies: I thought I drafted rice in round 5
(14:57:31) Shisa: End Round 6. Here on out I won't be announcing the list picks. We'll just more from live pick to live pick.
(14:58:03) Shisa: Greg, you missed the excitement.
(14:58:14) Borealis: DONE!!
(14:58:26) Borealis: Greg, check your messages...
(14:58:29) Alleghenies: If I don't get him and someone else does I'm done
(14:58:42) Borealis: 8o
(14:58:44) Shisa: Ron, you're up-.
(14:59:10) Akira: 2B Shunsho Kishita
(14:59:50) Codgers: Did missing players just now get added to Statslab or something?
(15:00:17) Codgers: That doesn't seem fair to guys who already made up their lists
(15:00:20) Akira: Is he there?
(15:00:38) Shisa: I don't find that player.
(15:01:10) Coqui: Oh yeah I remember Kishita. He was the guy I couldn't find
(15:01:12) Akira: C Javier Ballaster then
(15:01:20) Codgers: Yes same here
(15:02:11) Codgers: SEE RON AGAIN WE ARE THE SAME
(15:02:23) Akira: Thnought I'd try...
(15:02:42) Borealis: Kishita was on my list...
(15:03:00) Shisa: Fargo is up.
(15:04:31) Dinosaurs: Okay will be just a minute
(15:05:14) Shisa: After Fargo will be San Juan.
(15:05:15) Borealis: I'm confused... What happened to Kishita being drafted...?
(15:05:35) Shisa: Kishita is not in the pool.
(15:05:50) Borealis: He's on my list...
(15:05:59) Dinosaurs: Fargo selects LF Armando Castillo
(15:06:36) Dinosaurs: Not too happy with his "impossible" to sign designation, but I recall someone mentioning to just offer more than asking and they may do it.
(15:06:59) Borealis: And unlike Rice, he's got 5 years of college...
(15:07:42) Borealis: Ron and Denny, when did you guys make your lists?
(15:08:06) Codgers: I make my list based on what is in OOTP, not Statslab
(15:08:20) Akira: same
(15:08:23) Shisa: Coqui are up.
(15:08:50) Codgers: It's not an "official" list entered into the Statslab draft warroom
(15:08:54) Akira: but when I transferred to Statslab they weren't there
(15:09:13) Coqui: Coqui take Kelsey van Wingerden
(15:09:22) Codgers: Right, if you search for Kishita in Staslab he is nowhere to be found
(15:09:57) Borealis: But he is in OOTP... How did you get your list into StatsLab?
(15:11:19) Akira: never did see Bill Rice
(15:11:41) Codgers: Yes I don't understand Bill Rice at all
(15:11:52) Harpoon: Hartford selects SS Sotatsu Kawano, Chuo University
(15:11:52) Shisa: Harpoon are up.
(15:12:11) Akira: just took my OOTP and maunually set it in Statslab
(15:12:24) Codgers: He was not there in round 5, but somehow magically IS there in round 7
(15:13:07) Borealis: No, me neither on Rice, but as Morris said, he seems a last second OOTP add...
(15:13:23) Borealis: But Kishita has been in game...
(15:14:02) Alleghenies: Borealis got your pm
(15:14:48) Borealis: That's why I see Kishida and you don't - I import my list from my list and merging it with the StatsLab list to get the numbers - then I go back and search in game for the ID-less players...
(15:14:58) Borealis: I hope that's agreeable, Greg...
(15:14:59) Codgers: Kishita has had five years of college, there is probably something funny about those guys
(15:15:06) Borealis: Just trying to help a guy out...
(15:15:26) Alleghenies: It should be. My connection here sucks
(15:15:39) Shisa: Leones are up.
(15:16:14) Borealis: I'm sure the board will waive the trade policy for this one...
(15:16:46) Borealis: If you want to put it up in the Trade forum I'll confirm it immediately...
(15:17:17) Alleghenies: I will later. At basketbl tournament. Waiting for kids game to start
(15:17:18) Leones: Havana selects 1B Rich Aguirreamaya
(15:17:20) Codgers: Mike are you saying that you can see Kishita in Statslab?
(15:18:09) Shisa: Codgers are up.
(15:18:49) Codgers: PS selects CL Flynn Lancaster
(15:18:56) Shisa: Alleghenies will be next.
(15:19:04) Codgers: He lasted another full round!! :warning::favorite::warning:
(15:19:20) Borealis: Yes Denny, but I imported his number in my list...
(15:20:09) Akira: Hmmm, don't see Lancaster in game...weird
(15:20:18) Borealis: When I DL'd the list from StatsLab to get the ID#'s, he wasn't there, but when I picked up the number in-game and imported my ranked list, he appeared - as did Bill Rice, which is why I was able to draft him...
(15:20:24) Codgers: Really? He was there for me
(15:20:43) Shisa: And WV is up.
(15:21:20) Codgers: I didn't import a list, so I don't see certain players?
(15:22:03) Akira: sorry, sorted wrong. he's there
(15:22:04) Alleghenies: Use my lists.
(15:22:14) Shisa: Okay, Greg.
(15:22:26) Codgers: oh thank heavens Ron. I thought we had yet another mystery
(15:22:40) Shisa: Aurora is up.
(15:23:25) Akira: I'm bouncing back and forth trying to keep up with picks in game
(15:25:14) Borealis: Now Patrick did upload a list of names and numbers and as I look at it, Rice was on that list... I didn't end up using his much as the spanish names get all whacked sometimes and it makes comparing my list and his difficult...
(15:25:27) Borealis: Oh... Give me a few...
(15:25:42) Borealis: The list didn't update...
(15:27:09) Borealis: Aurora selects MR RJ Jefferson out of Marshall
(15:29:58) Leones: hmm I did some checking Bill "Cannon" Rice (plyr id 11531) is in the OOTP draft pool but not on statslab
(15:30:42) Akira: so there's a way to export a draft list from OOTP and import to Stataslab?
(15:31:39) Shisa: That concludes round 7. On to Round 8.
(15:31:57) Shisa: Ron, you're up.
(15:33:03) Shisa: Coqui will be next.
(15:33:06) Akira: P Estaban Martinez

(15:35:11) Bears: turning off list for this pick
(15:35:18) Shisa: Bears up.
(15:35:54) Bears: Bears take RP Ken Holland out of HS, with the plan to give him a shot at starting.

(15:37:07) Shisa: Harpoon are up.
(15:37:10) Harpoon: Hartford selects 1B Haywood Riley out of Osaka Toin HS
(15:37:23) Borealis: @Akira and Codgers - it isn't easy...
(15:38:18) Shisa: A Statslab darling, Riley. Where is Statslab getting its ratings from? It isn't OSA.
(15:38:31) Bears: Those are the true ratings
(15:38:40) Bears: The hidden ones.
(15:38:59) Codgers: I believe Frank said it was its own unique algorithm
(15:39:34) Borealis: I believe that to be true as well - with the caveat that you should never trust them...
(15:40:13) Bears: stats lab has Paul Mitchell as a 10-10-10-10-10
(15:40:26) Bears: His father owns the company that developed stats lab
(15:40:28) Harpoon: My scout has Riley at 3 stars though I'm not that sold on him.
(15:40:40) Codgers: He must style Staslab's hair
(15:40:43) Bears: My scout had him at 4
(15:41:20) Shisa: Okinawa selects C Todd Young.
(15:41:38) Shisa: Havana is up.
(15:42:03) Borealis: My scout told him to look for a career in burger flipping...
(15:42:37) Bears: His intelligence rating is Very High, I would hope he could find something better than McD's
(15:43:28) Codgers: Maybe he'll manage there
(15:45:07) Akira: Havana showing list pick
(15:45:14) Shisa: Dónde está Patrick?
(15:45:43) Akira: picks sneak up on you

(15:57:34) Shisa: San Juan is up.

(15:59:28) Akira: that's the theory
(15:59:56) Shisa: Harpoon.
(16:00:05) Harpoon: Hartford selects LF Tetsuo 'Evil Ways' Adachi out of Cambridge. Joining his college teammate Paek

(16:11:13) Akira: P Shane Morgan
(16:12:02) Codgers: Hmm, he was not on our list....what is happening!?
(16:12:49) Codgers: Perhaps we are not so similar, you and i...
