Objection!

Postby BDWard » Sat Dec 31, 2011 12:18 pm

Objection, your honor! I want honestiago to trade draft positions with me! :wink: :lol:

Other than that, I have no problem with anyone trading picks or positions.

I was planning on this being the draft thread. I will rename it to indicate that.

Stadium list - Notice a pattern? Reconsider alpha divisions?

Postby BDWard » Sat Dec 31, 2011 1:02 pm

Below is the stadium list for our league:

Arlington Stadium '78 7 7 5 5 - - - - Moderate pitching

Busch Stadium '78 10 10 4 4 - - - - Moderate pitching

Candlestick Park '78 0 0 5 5 - - - - Moderate pitching

Comiskey Park '78 12 12 7 7 - - - - Neutral

County Stadium '78 15 15 10 10 - - - Neutral/Moderate hitting

Dodger Stadium '78 9 9 12 12 - - - Neutral

Exhibition Stdm '78 11 11 9 9 - - - - Neutral

Fenway Park '78 17 14 9 15 - - - Moderate hitting/Righty

Memorial Stadium '78 4 4 4 4 - - - - Moderate pitching

Metropolitan Stdm '78 1 1 6 5 - - - - Moderate pitching

Municipal Stadium '78 4 4 3 5 - - - - Moderate pitching

Oakland Coliseum '78 4 4 9 9 - - - - Neutral

Olympic Stadium '78 3 3 5 5 - - - - Moderate pitching

Riverfront Stdm '78 9 9 11 11 - - - Neutral

Royals Stadium '78 14 14 3 3 - - - - Moderate pitching

Shea Stadium '78 4 4 7 7 - - - - Moderate pitching

Three Rivers Stdm '78 14 14 12 12 - - - Moderate hitting

Tiger Stadium '78 10 7 19 16 - - - Extreme hitting

Veterans Stadium '78 6 6 15 15 - - - Moderate hitting

Wrigley Field '78 18 18 18 18 - - - Extreme hitting

Yankee Stadium '78 1 1 15 8 - - - - Lefty

With a few exceptions, it seems as though the pitching and hitting parks are grouped together alphabetically, meaning that it's likely that the teams in each division will be similar if divisions are determined alphabetically by stadium.

Based on the above, perhaps a different method for determining the division for each team should be considered.

A random divisional assignment, or grouping the divisions based on draft position, such as 1,4,7,10, 2,5,8,11 and 3,6,9,12 might provide for more diversity of teams in each division, rather than similar teams ending up in the same division if an alphabetical assignment is used.

An interesting point. Perhaps we should randomize the divisions after the draft is complete? This will allow for some variation in placement.

I am assuming no one cares how divisions are assigned? Or is the alphabetical nature of the parks a consideration in your drafting? If not, I propose we assign divisions randomly AFTER the draft. We run a second randomizer, and assign East, Central, West in order:

East=1,2,3,4
Central=5,6,7,8
West=9, 10,11,12

Fair enough?

Random division assignments after the draft sounds good

Postby BDWard » Sat Dec 31, 2011 1:41 pm

I'm in favor of random division assignments after the draft as well.
