Some surprising results coming up in this draft.
- The (likely) top 3 all punted pitching ratios = Revo, Johnny, Hacko (DMT 4th)
- Revo won because he scored the highest of the 3 ratio punters in pitching ratios (Revo 4-4 / Hacko 3-3 / Johnny 2-2).
- If we take away the +1 from multi scoring we get = Revo, DMT, Hacko (Johnny 4th)
- If we used Additive scoring, the top 3 would be: Revo, Johnny, Hacko (Eldiablo 4th)
It doesn't make a lot of difference which scoring mechanism we used in this draft. Revo wins comfortably in the Multi scoring formats, and narrowly (1pt) in Additive scoring.
My first impression is that, because we haven't drafting in a while, the easier strats were less prone to mishaps, and therefore scored highest ... and nothing is easier that ratio punting IMO. I would say it took me a good 12 rounds to get back in the swing of things, and I made a lot of errors ... I'm sure everyone did.

I honestly had no plan whatsoever, and after taking Cy Young 2nd overall, I wasn't even thinking about a ratio punt. I used my typical "get crappy letters and some crappy positions out of the way early" strategy. I think my two key picks besides Young were Smoltz & Brock. With Smoltz, getting 55 BY saves AND 3,000+ Ks is unreal, and after taking him I went with a career save punt. But it was the Brock pick, which catapulted my hitting, when I thought I had a contenda.

Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Also surprised that Feral and ElD flatlined so much in the final 1/3. They seemed to be on great strats.

Also, it wasn't until you picked your 12th or 13th hitter that I realized I might have competition in the hitting cats.
