My Wish List...

[motherscratcher]

I have 5 completed teams, 2 of which made the playoffs. I have one current team in the playoffs. My record is barely over .500. None of these things are exceptional.

But I should probably have a performance rating of at least 0.00001 shouldn't I?

Right now my 3 playoff appearances have gotten me a big fat zero.

So it wasn't my obvious ineptitude?

The performance ratings haven't been updated for probably more than two years.

Funny that anyone thought to check my ratings.

Welcome to a small step of walking a mile in my shoes. Where every day I get someone that says "Nev I see that you do that when you draft" "I see you posted that" "Nev remember you said such and such two years ago" "I notice you like filling a league late" "I see you spend about X amount on pitching"

Names I barely recognize seem to examine every move I make.

Guys that rarely post find a way into my threads, often just to dig at me either directly or indirectly, or just to ask a seemingly innocent question.


Frank Bailey once told me even though the trade I offered helped him a lot he wasn't going to do it because it helped me too....

Another told me "I looked at this trade for twenty minutes and I can't figure out why you want so and so" But I gotta decline because I must be missing something if you want so and so?

Another (ZakT) told me after 6 leagues and a sterling winning pct of about .450 on his resume to "pound salt" and "go find another newbie to take advantage of" when I told him using Williard Brown (4 E 36) at SS was a losing proposition in 200m (maybe any cap).

MBBW and Valen say context is important...Of course it is...But I guess they don't think that of the 40 active teams I run and thousand+
completed seasons I had, bringing thousands and thousands of trade offers and counters, that the few trades I post as examples, well, ahh, umm. what do I know, maybe I just didn't understand their context.

People assume a lot about me...but they lack context too.

Michael, if you'd like to talk, send me a PM. I'm up all night. Or we can do a Face Book chat :)

You're a good man Charlie Brown. :mrgreen:

I wish there was an option AFTER waivers to limit the amount of transactions a person can make during the season i.e MAX 5 MAX 10 UNLIMITED :roll:

Nice suggestion though, I believe the salary cap accomplishes this. You can only afford to do so much. Even in a live draft, all of the good players are already taken so there isn't much to pick over.

My wish list starts with getting rid of anything that is in the [b:c12af80688]"black box"[/b:c12af80688]. Home field advantage would be an example of this. There are other things too. Either make them transparent or remove them.

Joe, I agree 100%.

Mizzy - why would you want to limit transactions after waivers? I could be off but it seems like I routinely miss out on around 8 or so players in the autodraft. Replacing them might mean overhauling half your team. The preseason is the fun part for me. I like getting that train set up and then giving it a shove. The actual season is just standing back and watching to see how far down the track it gets before it derails. I generally see very few moves after the season starts, and the teams making those moves are usually the ones that have a fork sticking out of them anyway.

Joe - What is the black box. What is Home Field Advantage?

I have edited my earlier post about how to sort data in the player pool or free agent sets. I [i:97a89fc8c7]think [/i:97a89fc8c7]I added clarity in language as well as by using bold and red fonts.

I like a lot of the ideas others are posting, but is it REALLY that much to ask SOM to allow Bernie/SN the same lineup functionality that is in the CD-Rom game, which is v.LHP, v.RHP, v.ReverseLHP, v.Reverse RHP??
