9 Decade MLB Draft : CHAT

[Nosferatu]

I did text 500, EHB should be picking soon but he said to skip him.

Where I give little credence to post season stats.

Not saying that they can't be of help - but baseball has so few participants in the post season that there are great players that never sniffed, or had little opportunity at, playing in the post season. Is Felix Hernandez (already taken) a horrible pitcher because the Mariners were a horrible team?

I'd say he was one of the great all time closers...

Am I misreading this or do you mean something other than closer when you say closer?

 

[wlk3]

Am I misreading this

You are, he is the greatest!

 

[blstoker]

You are, he is the greatest!

....I still don't understand. I love Felix, but I am sure you mean something other than the position of closer. I could just be working on too little sleep - but I'm just not making the connection. Sorry, I'm confused.

Lol my bad I was talking about K-Rod...

Oh, man. I was thinking I was missing some important bit of information....

@Pack 500 @femurov took Wetteland round 12

 

[Shanemansj13]

How about if he was lights out in the postseason?

Then I think he has to be credited. Performing at high level on the biggest stage is definitely pretty important.

What will you give me for him?

IMO postseason play is very difficult to take into account... So i really only look at whether a player had the SPECIAL series.. all else to me is the same...

Well I have been offered a new job at the same school I work at. Currently working as a one on one (help a kid with extreme behaviors) to running the ISS In School Suspension room which they haven't done in a few years. Take the kids who would normally have been suspended and keep them in a room all day to do their work. Of course I got some questions to ask them but its a change that may move me up.

How much they gonna pay you? That'd be my first question.

 

[Shanemansj13]

So Ritz and Nos got money on the Indians.

And UK has money on the Cubbies.

I would bet on it but I'm scared I will jinx them.

 

[Nosferatu]

I did text Milk

 

[Ritzarmy]

I will ask them if its a increase in pay but they haven't given raises in over 5 years so I am pretty sure I know the answer.

Its in Cleveland and the pay out odds are 125/100 so heck yeah why not bet $4,000 wanting to close it out tonight. However I do see Cubbies winning 5-3 and me losing my hard earned money.

 

[Nosferatu]

I use post season stats and they are probably more important to me than anyone else.

I don't remember who drafted him and apologies for using this player but Justin Verlander comes to mind. I have never drafted him because aside from Oakland he can't beat anyone else in the post season. Part of the reason I always draft Lefty Gomez is not just because he was a great pitcher for those Yankees teams it's his post season numbers, never lost a World Series game. 6 - 0 in 7 starts with an ERA of 2.86. I'll take it... Verlander three World Series starts and lost them all and an ERA of 7.20, I know he has been a great regular season pitcher but I just can't draft someone with numbers like that in the most important games he's ever pitched.

I agree...why I drafted Pettitte

I lost money betting in the Indians in game two for that reason, higher payout and playing at home. I just can't see the Cubs ace on full rest getting beat by a guy not named Kluber on 3 days rest
