7 HOF, CY or MVP Players MLB Draft : CHAT

[Shanemansj13]

Y'all still wanna do teams?

We can just do that for another draft. Maybe NBA or golf

 

[Nosferatu]

Or we could specify bench roles, so that no one can say they would sub in a bench player in round 2
LHPH(9th inning only)
RHPH(same)
Defensive IFer
Defensive OFer
Pinch runner

We will go with that but the bench will still be meaningless.

 

[tducey]

In.

 

[Nosferatu]

1B/3B - 1 HOF or MVP
2B/SS - 1 HOF or MVP
C/DH 1 HOF or MVP
OF - 2 HOF or MVP
SP - 3 HOF or Cy Young
RP - 2 HOF or Cy Young

Bench players will be
1 lefty pinch hitter
1 righty pinch hitter
1 defensive outfielder
1 defensive infielder
1 pinch runner

5 in the rotation
5 in the pen
9 in the starting lineup (same as usual)

Loopholes will not be allowed.

You can trade whatever ya want.

whats the window in dates???

we cant really do current, that's going to make pitching, especially RP, to easy...

That's only because everyone votes like fantasy football. In a real series it would mean a lot

1956 - 1996?

 

[femurov]

Do we really need 2 spots for HOF RPs? I mean, there are only really a handful even when you add Cy Young winners to the mix.

I mean I would rather just throw bench out. The draft won't be as long which sucks but the bench never means anything.

1956 - 1996?

Sounds good to me

 

[MilkSpiller22]

we could always make 2 lineups....

I have always liked two lineups but some don't...

 

[CitySushi]

I think the easiest thing to make the all the relief pitchers and bench players relevant is to eliminate the DH position.

Or if we have a DH, reduce the BP and Bench positions because they're not valued as highly and makes the last few rounds pointless anyways.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

I have always liked two lineups but some don't...

I like 2 lineups but I don't think it should be 2 totally different lineups... just instead of a bench... so still 24 rounds... so 4 batters hit for both lineups...

I don't mind this idea, that way if you don't like certain players fit in one lineup you can mix and match. I say we go back to 2 HOF SP's and then go back to 1 HOF for those 5 extra batters.

FWIW I think its cool that you all are so engaged in the pre-draft figuring out of stuff

to be fair, nobody ever wants to do my ideas, so I try to infuse my lesser ideas into other people's ideas to make me feel like a winner..

I still think my ideas would be more fun...

 

[MilkSpiller22]

for an example, I think doing a Bust league would be a lot of fun...

Draft is: you can only draft HOFers, but the goal is to have the worst team...

Players must play at their own position... I mean, you cant just start Ted Williams as a pitcher...

 

[Shanemansj13]

I'm good either way....let's roll

I think Nos should let you pick the rules to a draft. Maybe not the bust rules, but another one of your ideas that you've thrown out there.
