*** VD 12 Commentary Thread ***

Has anybody told the Mike he is up?

Never mind just told him on FB.

Mike won't be selecting his first pick until his final projections are complete.

[Kevin Seitzer]

I'm here. What's the most recent draft that is similar to this one? I think I'm going to have pick based on history since I haven't done any prep for this yet.

Jumped on for a ride with the Big Train. MookieTyme is up.

Yeah right we believe you.

Do I finish top 5?

(I thought it was VD6, but no, that was a Letter/Decade draft ... I'm pretty sure VD 1 would have been plain letter, but just guessing)

Vd 9 was letters

Vd 9 was letters

But wasn't that a restricted draft? We were doing weird stuff around that time. Can't check right now.

Don't think so:

Rules:

Format:

Letters (Last Name)
Muliplicative Scoring +1
No KO's
15 Hitters / 10 Pitchers (3 QUIZY's and 2 WC's)
BA not OBP (no change)
Team IP minimum set at 18000
The Deadball / Contemporary hitter limitations are in play. ONLY the Deadball pitcher limitation is in play (Contemporary Pitcher limitation removed)


VD 9 had 12 participants, so the sheet isn't just transferable, but it'll serve KS's needs for "average draft position".

[Bene Futuis]

Not sure if it matters, but this one is 14 hitters / 11 pitchers and VD 9 was 15/10. The rest, other than # of participants, seems to be the same.

Honestly, perhaps for ease of use and since we're starting kind of slowly here, maybe we should just adopt the rules from VD 9 wholesale, including # of hitters and pitchers. Just a thought.

I'd be for that... and welcome back you sneaky devil!

Welcome back! Yea and nay ... it could be used as a foundation, but there's a lot of work in any case:

Updated players and player stats
Different number of participants means it has to be built anew anyway
Changes to certain of the rule conditions (modern hitter)

I normally don't build the SS until the end of R1 when I know exactly how many participants we have. There may be multiple versions of the SS floating around this draft (which is actually good for validating the scoring).

At least Revo's Google doc with updated players and stats could just be slotted into an existing spreadsheet, like VD 9's. However, one of the things I've never been able to do very well is adjust the number of participants so it's consistent on every tab of the sheet --- from VD 9 to VD 12 (this one) we will need to go from 12 owners to 14.

I have a VD 9 sheet, I have Revo's google docs spreadsheet, I just don't have the expertise to take those things and make them into a new VD 12 sheet.

[frae]

I picked and tried to come up with something better, but just felt I can't F up too much with getting those stats from a Y.

[johnnya24]

It's just dawned on me that 5th is the worst pick in the first round.

Yeah that's the pain-in-the-ass time-consuming part. I wait until we are 100% on participants so I don't have to do it twice.
