Magic Number

It's based off worst regular season record in 2016, so the Tigers hold the tie breaker.

Which is really dumb imo

I actually like it. The draft order is meant to help franchises moving forward. What is more telling about a franchises position than the record from the previous season? It says a lot more than some arbitrary sub-record like head-to-head or in-division.

How about this lineup for tomorrow?

Calixte - C
Tomlinson - 1B
Parker - P
Sandoval - CF
Williamson - SS
Hernandez - 2nd
Jones - LF
Federowicz - RF
Crick - 3rd

This is better

How about the Giants do something fun, like have all starting 9 play every position?

It should be based off of Salary. The more you spend and if you have a similar record you need to get a better draft position. It would penalize teams who don't spend money and always end near the bottom of the draft.

Sounds good to me.

Actually, I believe that every sport should operate on a lottery system. All teams that don’t make the playoffs have an equal shot at the top pick. Playoff teams just get ordered based on record (or whatever). This would completely eliminate all incentive to tank. And fans could continue to root for their team to win without the conflict of interest.

Then what fun would September be in a season like this?

Yeah, that lineup would be interesting.

Coin flip

 

[calsnowskier]

Looks like Det @ Min may get rained out, so the whole top pick depends on this game.

 

[calsnowskier]

Tigers down 3-1 in the 4th.

Giants tied 4-4 in the 7th.

 

[calsnowskier]

Great, another season-ending injury...

 

[Hangman]

And Pablo fucks us over

 

[calsnowskier]

I wish I could have enjoyed that. But it does not good.

 

[1phlapdown]

Your starting 3B in '18

 

[LHG]

Your starting 3B in '18

First, he starts a dumpster fire when he left. Next, he returns. Then he screws us of the 1st pick next year.

Yeah, but that three HR game...

 

[calsnowskier]

Tigers threatening in the 8th. 2 on, 2 out.

 

[calsnowskier]

This Twins pitcher is FUNKY.

 

[calsnowskier]

Assuming all games are coin flips, the Giants came into the day with a 75% chance of gett8ng the #1 pick.
