Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

SLG & OPS (no second)
BY only draft (no second)
I'm all for adding SLG or OPS...or making it a 6x6 and add a pitching stat...Win Percentage, K/9, or K/BB are all ones we could easily add without having to do a stat grab. But we still have the issue of needing to figure out how to grab the necessary stats for SLG or OPS.Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

I second the eliminate the first 3-5 rounds of the previous draft...I always liked Alfonseca and he is twice the pitcher Hall of Famer Mordecai Brown was - cavebird 12-8-05

If we're going to stick with Decade/KO idea, then I'd like it to be additive. I really don't like multiplicative scoring, as I think the strategy play isn't near as much fun.
Have we messed with scoring categories at all, or have we always done the same basic 10?Originally posted by SeaDogStat View PostI second the eliminate the first 3-5 rounds of the previous draft...

Originally posted by eldiablo505I could definitely get behind a 162 average draft. Get ready to bump Ross Barnes way the F up!
The rule was changed for the 1877 season, and Barnes' batting average plummeted by 150 points, and he was soon out of baseball (also possibly due to an illness).

cripes, aside from Schmidt, it's been a long hard haul for the phillies... Some Jimmy Rollins milestones...
Milestones
Jimmy Rollins
- With his triple on Wednesday, Rollins tied Ed Delahanty for 2nd on the Phillies list in Extra Base Hits, with 686. Schmidt is out of reach at 1,015 (30th all-time).
- He needs 3 more doubles (20 total) to tie Schmidt for 2nd on the Phillies list at 408. Delahanty is first, with 442.
- Rollins' next stolen base (14th for the year) to tie dead-ball era outfielder Sherry Magee for 3rd on the Phillies' list at 387, behind Billy Hamilton (508) and Delahanty (412). In fact Rollins has been the Phillies' leader for the post-1920 era ever since he passed Larry Bowa's 288 back in 2008. Surprising perhaps, but Richie Ashburn only stole 199 with the Phillies, partly because he played in an era where there was much less stealing. He led the league once, in his 1948 rookie season, with 32.
- His next RBI (#28) will tie the Wiz Kids' third baseman, Willie Puddin' Head Jones for 12th on the Phillies list with 753.
- He also needs two more HRs (10 total) to tie Jones for 12th in that category.I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...

I'll still run a blind auction, if y'all want. Trust me, it's as much fun running one as it to participate.Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?
