First order of business is to start thinking about a good day and time of the week to have a draft. This is obviously going to be a head to head live draft league. These are the categories we used last year. R HR RBI SB E AVG OPS W L SV BB K ERA WHIP How do those sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Draft times which are the best for me (after March 1), are Sunday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday Nights. And just gimme Santana and Schmidt again (Jamie Moyer is available Wite), and I'll be kept happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your times, I'm fairly used to the time change now, usually 7 p.m over there is about 10 a.m over there I think on the East Coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Saturday or Sunday would be cool for me as long as the draft is closer to March than February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wise Master Buehrle Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Sunday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Not sure how well Sunday night works for me..I usually have bowling from about 4-7 on Sundays, and then I have dinner right after that...we do have our end of the year tournament soon, though I am not sure when that is. Tuesday nights after 8:30 usually do not work so well either. I am hopefully getting a job soon...even though I have been "looking" for about 4 months now...so we'll see how that works. If we can get one in early March, that would be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigred3535 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 March is better than February for me, plus if we have it later we can take into account early Spring Training injuries. Also, as far as stats categories go, I suggested this last year and still prefer it: 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, R, SB, E, OPS as opposed to R HR RBI SB E AVG OPS I think it makes it a little more interesting when evaluating players, and makes players like Lyle Overbay, who hit over 50 doubles but only 18 or so home runs, more valuable, so you don't always have to go for the home-run basher to win the league. I think the original system doesn't take into account the strengths and weaknesses of many players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bones Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Anytime but Wednesday's for me, unless it's at or after 8:30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Weekday evenings are no good for me. I'd prefer a weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred3535 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 As far as categories, I actually meant to include that when I posted the original message, I just forgot to post it. 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, R, SB, E, AVG, OPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen no one else mention weekends as a good time. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 Who hasn't registered yet? I think it is Sonix... is that right? There are some teams that I don't recongnize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bones Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 My one worry about the categories is that everyone could try to load up on hitters and just forget about their pitchers because there are more hitting categories than pitching, but I don't really care. If everyone else is fine with that then so am I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 QUOTE(The Bones @ Feb 23, 2005 -> 01:07 PM) My one worry about the categories is that everyone could try to load up on hitters and just forget about their pitchers because there are more hitting categories than pitching, but I don't really care. If everyone else is fine with that then so am I. I would think about maybe adding 2 categories for pitchers to try and even that out...but then whehter we want it to be reliever friendly or starter friendly comes into play. If we want it starter friendly, we can use innings pitched as one of the stats, and if we want it reliever friendly, we can use holds. I figure we might think about adding losses...not exactly sure if we wanna do that though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred3535 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 We could add IP and holds...if we add one I like holds better because it adds a bunch of players to the game who otherwise would have had pretty much no value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I think I would agree. The one thing I like and yet don't like about it at the same time is that it gives some setup men about as much value as closers. I wish we could make saves count as double, to emphasize that closers are more important than relievers, but I disgress. IP and holds sound OK to everyone else, or nay?
