@channel Hello Everyone, it's that time of the year again where we throw caution to the wind and draft a handful of young, promising ball-players that will surely disappoint us and have us saying "what if" later in their careers. But it's all worth it for those select few players that DO make it and because households names in the PEBA. It's been three years since Hurricane John forced us GM's to get uncomfortably close in the basement of PEBA HQ to pick our players of the future, and let's not forget how far we've come from those "dark" days. Welcome to the 2031 PEBA Draft.
This season, things will operate normally with the many system advantages that have been propped up over the past few seasons. Mike and I will be running the show as usual, so if you have any problems or need to step out for anything, please let one of us know.
WHEN? We would like for Mike to make his opening statement at 1pm Eastern (10am Pacific) and head straight into making picks. So please be in this channel and ready to go by then. On Sunday, we will also resume the later rounds at the exact same time and at a much quicker pace to get through everything. If you cannot make it, or need to leave partway through, please have a list prepared in StatsLab so that we may pick from that.
Pick Timer. As per usual, we do not enforce a pick timer. We like to give GMs about 5 minutes to pick and we GREATLY appreciate keeping things moving at a steady pace. On Sunday, I will speed things up and we expect picks to be made at a faster pace. Our drafts are now 20 rounds long and none of us want to spend our entire day in front of the computer in June.
Pick Announcements. Slack will automatically announce picks that are made so you don't necessarily need to do that yourself. That being said, we VERY MUCH encourage discussing picks. Mike or myself will announce the next team on the clock.
Draft Instructions For new GMs or any GM that needs a refresher. To pick a player during the draft, you will want to head to your Warroom in StatsLab. Your "Draft List" will be where you select players from so make sure it is populated with players by using the "add to List" button. When your team is on the clock (you may need to refresh the page) you can highlight a player in your draft list, and a button will appear letting you draft that player.
Again, if you have any questions, please let me know.
Bonus, The WIL will be having it's first ever live draft at 11am EST BEFORE the PEBA draft. Brian will be out so it will likely just be myself and Dan hanging out, but feel free to poke your head in and see what's going on #wil_draft

Dan - Ghosts (WIL) 11:44 AM
Pretty sure the WIL draft will last all of five minutes, so if you wanted to check in, 11am EST is the time to do so. Thanks for running the show(s), Mike and Dylan. The draft is a great time and I can't wait to watch Florida ruin it for everyone.
Mike - Borealis 11:56 AM
I have to say, OOTP's inclusion of player IDs to their filter choices has saved me hours in creating my draft database... well, that and some duh, common sense moments...

As per usual, the Yuma table is empty other than a TV with a direct feed to the "completely normal hospital, nothing crazy about it" that currently houses Bob Mayberry. The Yuma GM as been a mainstay in PEBA for many years and has managed to convince the nurses to give him computer access once again this year. Be sure to take those Meds Bob!

Fielding Independent Pitching
Evan - Underground 10:48 AM
For the triggered London GM it means Florida is Picking
Yuma
10:48 AMFielding Independent Pitching is meaningless because pitching is always field dependent.
Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:48 AM
Basically how well a pitcher pitched without counting whether the defense behind him could make plays.
Yuma
10:48 AMWhich can’t be measured.
10:49
Unless, of course, you’re talking about Satchel Paige’s habit of sending his infield to the dugout while he pitched.
Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:49 AM
It can be useful, but is also very skewed by the type of pitcher. A groundballer will rely on his defense much more than a power pitcher striking everyone out.
Greg - Alleghenies 10:49 AM
I had it a tossup between Rhodes and Kody

Yuma
11:02 AMGuaranteed to be wilder than most pitchers.
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 11:04 AM
Yes I would have expected a much lower Control rating
Ken - Featherheads 11:04 AM
there needs to be a winter ball option to decrease ratings
Yuma

RJ - Sandgnats 11:09 AM

there are some batters I would like to have but they demand too much from me
Michael - Malts:spiral_calendar_pad: 11:13 AM
Long way to go to the 4th round.. this is what I hate about trading away picks

Aurora up twice, followed by Bakersfield
Justin - Bureaucrats 11:13 AM
ugh, 13 more picks till im up
Andy - Harpoon 11:14 AM

Kevin - Evas 11:14 AM
I'm in the same position, Michael.
11:14
Kind of wish I had moved the 2 that I have left
11:14
I like a nice short draft
Michael - Malts:spiral_calendar_pad: 11:15 AM
I was thinking about the same Kevin. Could I just move the 4th rounders and just deal with tomorrow... but I don’t think I would get the value I perceive I can get from drafting myself.. so there’s that issue haha
Scott - Zephyrs 11:15 AM
Speaking as someone who has been an early drafter many times, it is nice to draft late as a result of not totally sucking the year before
Justin - Bureaucrats 11:16 AM
must be nice scott
Andy - Harpoon 11:16 AM
I always want to think I am getitng value with 4th and 5th
11:16
