I almost took Ott because of being a 3b (instead of Foxxxxxxxx) but I went with the higher pure value pick - position and decade be dam - but I would I have taken 1929.
I do not feel good about how my draft is going - am afraid of heading for some huge cliffs

yeah, for what it's worth all three of my picks so far have been QUIZY decades. we'll see how long I keep doing that. I'm not sure why I continue to think this is a good strategy.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

Originally posted by eldiablo505Yeah, that was just BY alone.
I imagine the difference in value between the average 1940's player compared to the average 1920's player will be more than BY 12 Hr, 60 RBI, 20 Runs, 0 SB, and 0.030 BA.
Then again, decade leaching also impacts the 1920's ... so this is maybe something to come back on later in the draft.

I looked and saw that Anson and Mays were taken and then spent a good ten minutes deciding whether to take Pujols.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway.

VD 10 History thread updated ... as is the SS, but not released yet due to issues.
Will probably release it as a beta and hope someone else can fix the outstanding issues that are befuddling me.Last edited by johnnya24; 10-27-2015, 02:13 AM.

Johnny, post the spreadsheet and I'll take a look at it. I have some minor skill with excel.
Congrats on the impending doom of a second child mjl. My girls are 8 and 3 - 5.5 years apart. Nothing is more brutal than waiting so long to have the second as your memories of all the rotten shit have evaporated. Makes you wonder why you ever thought it was a good idea to have one much less two. And then there are the majority of the moments when you realize it's completely worth it."Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?"
"Certainly. You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban!"
