I mean since no one else has picked and Jake already received the benefit of Zimmermann, we could classify EE as "contemporary" and let Jake repick if necessary.

Mookie picked already.

The choices I presented earlier bring all the other players into line with these picks.

It’s really weird that modern players who played in the league’s highest HR total years ever aren’t considered contemporary.

There are also a few predominantly 1980's players who fall into the "contemporary" category by finishing their careers around 1999.

One in particular always grated me a little, especially since the rule is to account for juicers (and their inflated stats).

Should we:

(1) Use his original name / letter and actual B-R.com reference

OR

(2) Use the letter from the name that he now legally uses.

-----------

Personally I think (2) given the spirit of the rule and the fact that he legally changed his name.

Again, please comment.

Can we get a couple more opinions?

Current:

(1) 0
(2) 3 (JA, Heye, DMT)

Ok, but his pick is totally inconsequential since Jake already took Quinn.

My point is, EE was mentioned by at least 3 drafters that passed on him only because he was mis-classified. So making him an exception has merit.

This is closed.

His old letter (based on the BR.com code) was R, and he would likely never have been picked. His new player code starts with V, and he might be draftable.

I will make all these changes tomorrow morning.

There is no issue here as far as i see it. Jmare picked EE as Normal, and the agreed changes to the spreadsheet designates EE as normal.

We agreed to bring the spreadsheet into line with the stated 1999-2004 (inclusive) rule. The spreadsheet is using the original 2005 (inclusive). I will update the spreadsheet tomorrow morning.

**johnnya24** · 06-18-2020, 02:21 PM

Keeler is a great pick. I knew i was picking Silver King, so I couldn't allow myself to be tempted, but nice one!

**revo** · 06-18-2020, 02:23 PM

BTW, I knew 2004 was the end of the "Contemporary" pick timeframe, and I even brought it up earlier in this thread as an error in my Spreadsheet, of which Ken tried to help me.

Below is what I was going on. That was the spreadsheet issue, and yes, I should have caught it then, but ya'll were using 2004, and I really didn't think of it. If that was the spreadsheet fix, why does the spreadsheet show 2005??

I really wasn't. I simply replied to correct an obvious typo in a computer thing that I didn't understand at all without catching it. So no, I wasn't "using" it. I was just going by the spreadsheet pretty much.
