[quote:c9aa6ba526]point #1:

boca/trot RF...
LHP = 1285
RHP = 1235
=============
TOT = 1255 for 5.36M

lwalker RF...
LHP = 1111
RHP = 1322
=============
TOT = 1238 for 5.82M

bwilk RF...
LHP = 1220
RHP = 1193
=============
TOT = 1204 for 5.94M

the above analysis has been done pitcher friendly, to give u guys the benefit of the doubt... consider trots 7 BPHR and the above blows up much worse... [/quote:c9aa6ba526]

im confused...how does pitcher friendly help bwilk or lwalker? bwilk has 6 vs left and 7 vs right and walker has 0 vs left and 8 vs right. boca has 2 and trot has 7, so shouldnt larry walker be the same and bwilk be better in a bigger park???

The league is rife with interesting little subplots. I love it. :D

[quote:84b566d4e2]Hey wait a minute now. Giddyup is Frodo. Spicki is Samwise Gamgee. [/quote:84b566d4e2]

i may be frodo or samwise (who gets the best hobbit girl!!!), but the 2 of you are definitely in the smeagol category...

[spicki17]

wait i retract -- biggie is smeagol and sissy-ro is more like the dwarf

[bigmahon]

Yeah, hey, it ain't bad being Sam. He does do alright in the end. But he loves Frodo just a bit too much, don't ya think?

[b:a71e81b39a]ck[/b:a71e81b39a], I wouldn't disagree violently with your points. I don't have a good system for rating platoons, so I can't compare Boca/Trot to an individual player - I agree that's a very good combo. B.Wilk doesn't have astronomical value rating in my system - I picked him for positional flexibility.

Also, please consider that one of my highest priorities when drafting is to build a team that DOES NOT have to be tinkered with on a daily basis. Normally my teams run on autopilot for 162 games. For this league, I'll probably set starters once a week.

I've got [b:a71e81b39a]O.Hudson[/b:a71e81b39a] rated higher than both A.Ken & A.Cora. ...yes, that probably has something to do with valuation of the range factor and it wouldn't surprise me if my math was a little bit off.

As for Lowry & Alvarez, I don't consider them comparable to Dubose/2003 - Dubose was waaaaaaay underpriced by TSN. The point of an exteme pitcher like that is he forces teams to put weaker players into the lineup. For example, if I force you to stick Munson into the lineup, I consider that a win. I may unloead one or both of them. Once all of the teams are drafted, I'll analyze / estimate the % vs. LHB they'll face over the season.

Has anyone heard from Coffeeholic? He needs to pick so that I can close the league to be sure the last two picks aren't wasted on somebody else's draft card.
