      we are at the point where I almost don't need any spreadsheets anymore, such limited options that Ive been mulling over the last five rounds. None of them good. Yes, I'm in the zone.

        I had almost the same reaction -- just substitute "Yay!" for "Ugh"

                Describes my entire draft pretty much. Once I locked my keys pitchers in, I was on autopilot.

                Seeing that run of 1870 pitchers going now makes me sad I had to jump of Bond so soon. Had planned to do a few things different with my hitting, but had to shelve that in favour of flexibility. That said, with multi scoring, seemingly big changes can often have a scant effect.

                The problem with our strats are those fucking 2's. A single jump from 2 points to 3 is worth more that 4 jumps in the 13 to 14 point range.

                That hard caps the ceiling for these kinds of strategies. The holy grail is to find someone doing the same strategy, but do it just a bit better. Thus getting more 3's.

                Was fun to try it though.

                          sigh, I feel like I had better than a last place draft this time...

                          I think I should at least get a participation trophy...

                            With Wally Schang off the board, I feel like I need to protect my 1910s decade from DMT now.

                            I still have no idea which direction I'm going with any of my four remaining pitching decades.

                              If you finish last in this one, it's only going to be through special effort.
