[Nosferatu]

[Mookie]

The number is 0

Preference and respect are 2 different things imo.

 

[Ritzarmy]

Wasn’t BG one who wanted a time slot or was that chomp?

 

[Nosferatu]

Preference and respect are 2 different things imo.

You'll notice I never used the word respect. Also, I believe it's a little more than preference...

 

[Nosferatu]

There are a bunch of guys from deadball that I and the "newbies" would and have drafted, and a bunch I personally prrefer not to. I don't equate that to lack of respect but maybe that's just semantics. Seems like some of you like that era a ton, so it stands to reason that you'll beat us to the punch on the ones we would have drafted

No but Smitty did and you piggy backed on his point...like I said prob semantics I just didn't agree w the phrasing

There is an obvious bias is why I commented

Like I said...several we would have drafted but got beaten to punch. I can't speak for the rest of them

I'm not angry about it, I just can't wait to see how y'all vote...

 

[Nosferatu]

Anyone text Saxy?

Likewise

 

[Mookie]

My guess is that it will even out with some of your bias' against modern players

What have I said that would make you think I have a bias against modern players? I have a player that played in 2010, how many dead ball guys you have again?

Not from what you said but how I see you drafting. Sure I'll give you some points for your pen. As far as your rotation goes, 1965 your most recent career start, the rest way back. Gwynn the most recent hitter at 1982 the rest way back. Just calling a spade a spade if we are biased so are you

 

[Mookie]

Most likely, like me, you've been beaten to some modern targets that you otherwise would have taken. No big deal for me

 

[Shanemansj13]

GHEY

I didnt know Kirby was ghey. Wow that’s a shocker

sometimes its about value... I am much more of a current player fan too... Despite my whole team being old...

the way i see it, we as drafters are much more inconsistent about evaluating past players than modern players(last 20 seasons)... wouldn't you rather have a player that was the best of his era than the 5th or 6th best of an era??
