2048 WBL Draft Thread (Draft Starts at some point)

[OU11]

We're going to give a few days to digest the draft pool and let these guys get some more senior year stats.

The draft pool is currently released 110 days in advance, normally it is released 75 days before. Starting Monday will give us 8 days before the playoffs start, so probably like 11-12 days to finish.

Redbeard... lawd

 

[OU11]

Reel can move him right into the rotation next year. In a few years he'll have at least two dominant hitters and one dominant pitcher

 

[Orlando]

Or he could take one of the better players

 

[Yankee151]

At this rate we'll never finish.

 

[Yankee151]

I wouldn't mind packaging my 3 late 1sts and 2nds to move up within the 1st

 

[OU11]

Or he could take one of the better players

I don't necessarily think they're better but given my love for hitting I would take one of them. Red Beard is going to be an ace tho. Top 3 picks will get all star quality prospects, I like that they're ready to help almost immediately too. Kinda nice to help jump start the bad teams

 

[Orlando]

This class is the best in a while. There are potential all-stars into the second round. Yankee is in good shape if he can sign them haha.

 

[OU11]

I only have two players I realistically want out of the whole draft. One of them will be available at #10, but I'm sure the other will be long gone by the time I pick next.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

It says I have Kabul's 3rd, but I think that's Istanbul's (as per the Traded Picks thread).

Unless somehow I got it and don't remember.

Edit: And I thought my 1st was going to Istanbul (which he got from Amsterdam)? Why does Key West have it?

He traded it to KW

 

[Lloyd Carr]

He traded it to KW

Ah, yeah, I missed that trade.

 

[OU11]

Ah, yeah, I missed that trade.

I did too

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Also, my 3rd should go to Seoul.

I'd make the changes myself, but you stripped my of my power.

Edit: NVM, I guess I have two thirds? Guess I didn't sign someone last year.

Are you really not a commish anymore? Gonna have to fix that, you're the only one with as little of a life as me. I need you able to make changes.

edit: says you're still an admin

I don't have the admin section. Might be because the site doesn't look like it's 100% active yet?

 

[Lloyd Carr]

It's because I wasn't logged in. We good.

[Yankee151]

 

[Gooksta]

298 middle relievers

 

[Wolfman21]

4 hours til draft day!

 

[fignuts]

298 middle relievers

All you need are MR's or converted SP's to relievers.

 

[Gooksta]

So is Lisbon on the clock?

 

[Mr. Radpants]

We're never going to finish at this rate.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

You know what would speed the draft up, if you run out of time you sacrifice your pick.

 

[Reel]

Just got back into town. Does this start later today?

 

[Mr. Radpants]

I think you got autod

 

[Schauwn]

when does the clock start? I need to look at OOTP to see what my scout says

 

[Reel]

So none of my gchat folks thought it would be a good idea to hit me up this weekend huh

 

[Schauwn]

Curious, why dont all of the players have the "competition" field listed?

 

[Gooksta]

Total guess, but if they are high school. No real difference of comp in high school

 

[Schauwn]

It's including COL players too...

 

[Yankee151]

The ones that are league players don't have it listed because its a separate player generation thing. The league players you can actually see their WRC+ and stuff so it balances out, the ones not in the feeder leagues need a distinction

I was just playing

 

[Schauwn]

So hard to pass up redbeard...

 

[Mr. Radpants]

why would you

 

[Gooksta]

So hard to pass up redbeard...

You don't have to

 

[Schauwn]

How do I filter to look at their stats from last year?

 

[Gooksta]

I'm logging off

 

[Mr. Radpants]

You hit the blue arrow next to your favorite player.

 

[Yankee151]

Hitting f5 on my draft page to pick Redbeard so Rad doesn't yell at me

 

[Wolfman21]

Yankee rebuilds his team by trading all 7 of his first round picks away for basically nothing and 1 guy in the strongest draft we've had in 5 years.

Bravo

 

[Yankee151]

Redbeard is far and away the best prospect, save for maybe one other guy in terms of risk/reward. I get another Top 4 guy and another pick at 13. I am content. Upset that Schauwn waited until now to deal it but hey them's the breaks

 

[jdlikewhoa]

This is dumb

 

[fignuts]

 

[Gooksta]

:popcorn

 

[Wolfman21]

so who is changing the picks on the website now days? Because the trades from yesterday haven't even been updated on it

 

[Yankee151]

@Lloyd Carr @Orlando @OU11

 

[doh]

OK I won't even defend Tankee on this one....

I posted above I think that this type of trade would be good if there was a Kasib like player who everyone knew would be a superstar, best in the game type. I don't think Redbeard is. I think he's a legit #1 but I don't think he's going to be better than a Okada, Naka, Torres, etc.
