MLB Bucket Draft : CHAT

I do my best e'ry time to help remind people of the other greats from way back when. But e'rytime I get the only lefty to K 300 batter before Koufax.

It is very hard to compare eras for pitching because pitchers were treated so much differently in each era... pre 1900s there have been pitchers who pitched up to 600 innings in a season, that is over 2 seasons of work by a post 1990s pitcher...

I would view that as a positive for old time guys

I like my team, no drops when I come up

It does, I agree... But what hurts them IMO is how strike outs were rare(due to style of baseball back then) and HRs were rare(due to cavernous stadiums)...

next baseball draft maybe we could make a 25th round and have stadium played in...

Is that your final answer, are you sure you don't want to use the 50/50 or at least phone a friend?

I actually think that's a great idea. Draft stadiums,obviously a team with Ruth and Bonds might do well at Coors, great pitching and D improve with a 450' CF fence

I had a similar idea I meant to add for NFL draft.... in one of the 1st two rounds, you have to draft a HC...and you will be graded on how the team you pick fits that scheme. Example, if you take Parcells, you'd better run a 3-4 with huge front 7 personnel, and if you take Bill Walsh, you'd better not draft a guy with Tim Tebow's accuracy. It would be really interesting to see if guys took a player with their 1st pick or a coach.....

I'll take Steve Spurrier so I can make up a scheme like he did for the Skins.

Easy, Rod Marinelli. I would own pad level and toughness. I don't know if you are aware, but he manufactures toughness.

I just saw an interesting stat...

From 1871-1912, only one season the differential between ERA and RPG was less than 1.
From 1871-1900, only 8 times was it less than 2
from 1871-1876, it was always over 3.... and was over 5 four times...

After 1912 it was never more than one...

What this shows to me is either the defense back then was absolutely awful, or some ERAs are skewed a little...

ERA= Earned runs per game
RPG= Runs per game

differential means difference...

How was that in explaining??

Yes you did like 3 minutes ago, sorry got busy at work!

Another thing against pre 1900 pitchers, 1989 was when they made 4 balls to be a walk...

The league had a WHIP of under 1.2 only 15 times in baseball history, only once was After 1989.
