Other fun things to watch out for as the draft goes on: can I manage to end up tanking speed after taking Billy Hamilton in Round 2? Can Ken end up tanking power after taking Bonds? Funny how both of us are so compensating for those picks. Then again, my hitting has mostly been getting rid of letters and positions, so I am pretty much tanking hitting altogether so far.

Skip L at your own risk....dont say u wern't warnedOriginally posted by cavebird View PostIf it is, it was before your pick, too.
Hell, there is an argument that L is just a pit of lots of mediocrity after Lajoie is taken. I was keying on him for my second round pick, but he went #8 overall. So much for that plan.---------------------------------------------

Well, dammit DMT. It is hard enough to play it straight forward and try to compete in every category, but now you go and use a wild card to take the rip cord for single season ratios away from everyone else. He wasn't anywhere near my radar yet, but he was in a ton of my scenarios---he fixes all that ails best year ratios. Nobody like him. Nice pick!Comment

I'm sensing a pattern...Originally posted by cavebird View PostIf DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Downloaded the most recent spreadsheet and my problems are solved! Had to re-input my formulas which is always kind of a chore but.....
Holy crap the hit_comb and pit_comb sheets are amazing!!!! I swear, if I'd have used these things all along I'd be undefeated. Well, maybe not that but having rankings like that is just fantastic. Thanks for the work on that, Johnny! How long has that been in the sheet?More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.Comment

We should just start up a brand new VD right now and call this current one a practice round. I think I'm ready now.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.Comment

The last 2 or 3 drafts at least.Originally posted by Bene Futuis View Post
The black tabs are my creation (Snapshot, hit_comb, pit_comb). The rest is original copyrighted Kevin Seitzer (apart from the flourishes on the Rounds sheet).
Glad someone is making use of them. I have to re-remember how to build those pages every time I compile the spreadsheet. If you do it right, you should be able to copy paste your formulas from one draft to the next.Last edited by johnnya24; 04-21-2020, 09:43 AM.Comment

I will hopefully have Franchises ported over to the Spreadsheet by the end of this draft.Originally posted by revo View Post
I have all the player-year-franchise data sorted on a sheet. I just need to find a way to collate it so that each players franchise eligibility is clear and sortable. And I can't think of an elegant way to do it ... without brute forcing a column/row grid. My hack excel skills meet a wall when confronted by these tasks. Let's just say, my solutions tend to be "creative"
Franchises and Decades will be next.Comment
