Woohoo Draft DAY!!!!
Michael - Malts 4:05 AM
Were you sleeping in the lobby waiting to get in?
Lenny- Bears 4:08 AM
Wasnt it us 3 schmucks here in the early am last one??
Greg - Alleghenies 4:16 AM
@Michael - Malts I blame my daughter!!! She wanted to use the pool.
4:16
@Lenny- Bears I think so
4:17
I got my list of 14 for my 2 top 20 picks
4:17
after that it shall be fun LOL
Marco.C - Calzoneros 4:21 AM
Hi everyone!! At what time does the Draft start??
Greg - Alleghenies 4:23 AM
3 and 1/2 more hours
Marco.C - Calzoneros 4:24 AM
Ty Greg
Greg - Alleghenies 4:25 AM
You're welcome.
Justin - Bureaucrats 4:26 AM
Good morning everyone!
Greg - Alleghenies 4:27 AM
Morning fine sir.
Michael - Malts 4:27 AM
Morning all! @Lenny- Bears and yes I think it was Lenny. Just so eager to get the train rolling
4:28
I brought a tent this time, so was a bit more comfortable.
Greg - Alleghenies 4:28 AM
I think since @Michael - Malts and @Lenny- Bears and myself were here first, we should just start the draft. We will draft for everyone else
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/wink.gif)
4:28
How is that for getting train rolling @Michael - Malts?
Michael - Malts 4:29 AM
@Greg - Alleghenies I think that is a fantastic idea. To make it more fair, your daughter can draft for everyone else
Greg - Alleghenies 4:29 AM
Awesome!!! She will be so excited. Do any have pony or pokemon names?
Michael - Malts 4:41 AM
Haha, that’s what year end Nick names are for
Lenny- Bears 4:55 AM
I will be doing this all from my phone today and tomorrow whilst driving across the country. Again. During a pandemic. So awesome. :man-facepalming::skin-tone-3: (edited)
Justin - Bureaucrats 4:56 AM
Oof
Lenny- Bears 4:56 AM
Good thing I barely have any picks.
4:56
Thanks Gabe.
4:56
With your 11 home runs...but sub .200 BA
Dan - Ghosts 5:02 AM
Such a Bakersfield stat line.
Michael - Malts 5:11 AM
So who’s going #1?
Greg - Alleghenies 5:12 AM
Dave Whitfield. @Yuma will be thinking it's Dave Winfield.

I'm thinking Kevin Willis goes first

Dan - Ghosts 5:26 AM
Bob already said it's probably Gil or Lucas. I wouldn't be surprised either way, both going to be good assets.

Greg - Alleghenies 5:28 AM
There is 1 guy I want. Debating picking him in round 9 or hoping he makes it to round 15.
5:28
He has ZERO PEBA future, but I want him
Justin - Bureaucrats 5:30 AM
name appeal?
Andy - Harpoon 5:32 AM
I will bet on R15
Justin - Bureaucrats 5:35 AM
what time does draft start again?
Dan - Ghosts 5:35 AM
1pm eastern
Justin - Bureaucrats 5:35 AM
but that'
5:36
is so far away!
1
Greg - Alleghenies 5:38 AM
@Andy - Harpoon imo there is no difference of round 9 and 15 for most part
1
Dan - Ghosts 5:38 AM
Because our feeder leagues are too thin!
Greg - Alleghenies 5:39 AM
No that's not it
5:39
It's because I don't have room
Dan - Ghosts 5:39 AM
Two reasons, then.
Greg - Alleghenies 5:39 AM
In real life guys in round 6 and beyond rarely make it
5:39
And I am sure it might even be early.
Dan - Ghosts 5:40 AM
Nah in MLB the draft is far more unpredictable than in most other sports. Stars come from late rounds and first rounders flop often.
Greg - Alleghenies 5:41 AM
I love how in every league no matter the sport people complain about the drafts and not enough good players. Do you see all the busts in round 1 in every draft
5:41
Dan that's why MLB made in 5 rounds now
5:41
Because all these stars come from late rounds
Dan - Ghosts 5:42 AM
Never said other sports don't have busts, just that MLB and PEBA have very different drafts.
Andy - Harpoon 5:42 AM
yeah MLB draft is far more unpredictable for sure
Greg - Alleghenies 5:42 AM
Yes I know it was to save money too but crappy teams wouldn't have been ok with it if there were all these late round gems
Dan - Ghosts 5:42 AM
https://www.mlb.com/news/best-late-roun ... c182980276
MLB.comMLB.com
These are the best late-round picks in Draft history
In the MLB Draft, good things can come for those who wait.So while much of the hype these first couple days of the Draft has understandably centered around the high-profile prospects who went at the top of the first round, such as the Tigers' Casey Mize and the Giants' Joey (134 kB)

Greg - Alleghenies 5:43 AM
Dan and that is out of how many late round picks

Dan - Ghosts 5:43 AM
PEBA has had like one player make it from a double digit round in its whole history.
Greg - Alleghenies 5:43 AM
Yes there are tons on non drafted NBA guys that were great and NFL guys too
Dan - Ghosts 5:44 AM
It's a function of OOTP mostly, but also the average WAR from rounds 3/4/5 is too low in my opinion, hence the feeder leagues are too thin.
Andy - Harpoon 5:44 AM
don't think NBA really have that many
5:44
most of the good players in NBA are R1
5:45
but it's hard to code hidden gems in a video game
5:45
unless you intentionally do so
Justin - Bureaucrats 5:45 AM
i think it all depends on how players are rated @Andy - Harpoon. As in Stars vs. Numbers
Dan - Ghosts 5:45 AM
I think there are settings that would allow for that a bit more, but I'm not sure people would like that degree of randomness.
Andy - Harpoon 5:57 AM
feel like the randomness is always going to be there
5:58
every prospect is just 1-2 major injuries away from mediocrity
Dan - Ghosts 6:02 AM
Randomness in the bad direction, sure, but I don't ever expect to have a 10th round pick become a 3 star player
Andy - Harpoon 6:02 AM
I wish there's a slight chance for that to happen
6:02
maybe there is
6:02
like once per 50 years
6:03
and we have not get to one yet
Dan - Ghosts 6:03 AM
That seems like about our pace, but it's happened multiple times per year in MLB.
6:03
I think there was one once.
Andy - Harpoon 6:05 AM
I have seen people with super late round becoming stars in r/OOTP
6:05
but I assume it's super rare
Mike - Coqui 6:07 AM
I have Manual Romero, 13th rounder, doing pretty well in AAA although no one seems to want to trade for him.
Michael - Malts 6:07 AM
I’ve seen plenty of serviceable players, bench players. Good cheap pieces for rebuilds.
Mike - Coqui 6:07 AM
Wouldn't be drafted today though cause he came out of college and our SA rosters are smaller
Greg - Alleghenies 6:08 AM
@Mike - Coqui he might be because now we got 20 rounds of crap we need to draft
Mike - Coqui 6:08 AM
But no place to put a 21-year old
Greg - Alleghenies 6:08 AM
Didn't say he would make a team.
Ron - Akira 6:09 AM
Mike Piazza was a famously late rd pick
Greg - Alleghenies 6:09 AM
I cut about 90% of all guys after round 10
Andy - Harpoon 6:09 AM
I love my draftees too much that I usually just cut older dudes and put them in
1
6:11
feel like they perform similarly anyway
Michael - Malts 6:13 AM
@Andy - Harpoon I’m the same. Which I why my minor league teams never win. I can’t fill them with old filler players like some teams do. Hate to waste a AA spot on a 30+ year old. If you haven’t made it by this point, go work as a bagger and let the kids play
Andy - Harpoon 6:14 AM
I thought I had solid A and lower squads but they had been horrible this year lol
6:14
somehow my AAA and AA play better
6:14
but yeah I don't put 30+ on AA either
6:15
and I will give up Ws if I want to train some of the great fielders on new positions
1
Greg - Alleghenies 6:21 AM
I got C Jorge Martinez in AA because he is a long time WV employee being groomed to become a manager (edited)
Andy - Harpoon 6:23 AM
I would do that too if I have a plan like that
6:24
(not like my AA is filled with great prospects anyway, there's always a slot)
Greg - Alleghenies 6:25 AM
And the fact he is hitting .153 I don't think he puts fear in any pitcher
Andy - Harpoon 6:25 AM
there's always fear
6:25
if he gets a hit over you, you suck
6:26
"How can you give up an RBI to a .153?!"

Mike - Borealis 8:01 AM
Today’s first day of the draft we will attempt to complete 5 rounds, and GMs will be allotted approximately 5 minutes to make their top two round selections, with further rounds limited to approximately 2 minutes. We encourage you, in the best interests of the league, to be prepared and make your selections with diligence and speed. Keeping an updated list is StatsLab is always a solid plan – especially if you will be absent or miss a pick.
8:02
Selections are to be made in StatsLab, by selecting the player you want to draft and clicking the draft button. You may very well need to refresh your browser when it’s your turn.
8:02
If you anticipate missing a turn – or will be leaving, please inform myself or Dylan (maybe provide guidance?) so we can be prepared to move forward quickly.
RJ - Sandgnats 8:02 AM

RJ - Sandgnats 8:03 AM
opinions with this group? nawww
Mike - Borealis 8:03 AM
Dylan will be processing the selections behind the scenes, and we will attempt to give teams a heads up when they are ‘on-deck’ and ‘in-the-hole’, so do try to be aware and following things so we can move as quickly as possible. Be patient with the Win-D’s and Borealis picks, as we try to juggle two jobs here… Always try to have a back-up plan in the event the guy you are ‘locked in on’ is taken…

Yuma
Yuma is delighted to be making the first pick in this year’s draft. We indicated earlier that either Gill or Lucas would be our first pick, but that was before I was rudely awakened this morning by the Yuma owner, Taffy Slummings, who is stuck here in the state hospital, temporarily. He shook me awake, muttering the whole time, “Get pitching, get pitching.” I tried to explain to him that Earl Lucas was a talented relief pitcher, but he shook his head violently and said, “I had a dream. Starting pitchers—it was all about starting pitchers. Get us some starters, man!” So, without further ado …

Mike - Borealis 8:38 AM
@Cristian - Dinosaurs on deck
Yuma
Great pick, Okinawa. I was hoping to grab that catcher. Best one in the pool, according to my scout.
Evan - Underground 8:38 AM
I'll be happy if any of my 2.5 star guys make it to round 2 at this point
Ron - Akira 8:38 AM
Is he a catcher though?
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 8:39 AM
He’s a born DH it seems
Drew - Charleston Statesmen 8:39 AM
If there's anythig I've learned, my scout's stars are not to be trusted
Yuma
A limited one defensively, but he can hit.
Frank - Amsterdam Lions 8:39 AM
18 year olds typically have very low catcher ratings at draft time
Vic (Claymores) 8:39 AM
His catcher ability was pretty weak ...
Yuma
You can always put him at first. Anyone can play first.

@Mike - Borealis I picked
Yuma
And so quickly!
Mike - Borealis 8:41 AM
Missed it… sorry…
Frank - Amsterdam Lions 8:41 AM
High school catchers almost never have any skill at the position. You draft them hoping they'll learn in the minors or they become a 1B/DH
Mike - Borealis 8:41 AM
@Cristian - Dinosaurs you’re up
Frank - Amsterdam Lions 8:41 AM
Greg picked way too fast...
Yuma
Penalty!

No Dinosaurs are an extinct animal

Evan - Underground 8:45 AM
It's been over 5 minutes for somebody that was already set to list pick :man-shrugging:
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 8:45 AM
I suppose technically surgery could be considered editing a person

@Drew - Charleston Statesmen is up, @Vic (Claymores) on deck…

PEBA Draft Pick 2.5: The Charleston Statesmen select P Horiuchi Shimizu
Drew - Charleston Statesmen 9:15 AM
Fun fact, Horiuchi "Bronco" Shimizu and Tsuruki Shimzu, born a year apart, both pitch for the Tokyo Imperials. That seems neat, except Shimzu is the 18th most common surname in Japan, equivalent to "Jackson" in the US.
