Dude, Slasher, bro man guy fella dude! Where you be, my man?

The Feral McSlasher has finally kicked out everyone from the family gathering. I'll take a look and hopefully get my pick up in the next hour... Happy Fake Birthday Johnny !

Happy birthday, Johnny!


Hope you find some morals in the black, hateful space where your Christian heart should be as you turn your Jesus +5 year!

Need to input some picks as once again the history thread is dangerously out of date. Then I will perform complicated calculations, determine probabilistic outcomes, analyze scenario potentialities, and then choose a guy at random.

sounds like what I do at my job everyday.

Does anyone have an updated spreadsheet (do y'all still call it a Seitzer Sheet?) that they can email me as a New Year's present? [email protected]

there is one that is linked to the first page of the draft. Not sure if it has the last few picks inputted, but johnny keeps it pretty up to day.

I will say this - I thought Javy Lopez was a very good pick.

Thanks. I almost talked myself out of it for fear that I was being a Braves homer, but that was a very very solid season for a catcher.

Only 1 pick was missing ... I'm not updating the whole rounds until the end of each round ... in case someone copy/pastes the even rounds into the wrong place.

First post of the Draft thread and History Thread has a downloadable link. It's usually updated to within a few picks.

I just did an update to the Spreadsheet

The Snapshot sheet now automatically updates the eligible positions for each hitter.

I was explaining vintage drafting to my dad and asked him how to optimize values based on the matrix of letters and positions I showed him. He has a PhD in physics, does lots of computer programming and is still really sharp and even takes college courses as an 80 year old. He must have spent 2 hours thinking this over and scribbling notes instead of watching football. It was pretty funny.

Agreed. Very nice pick

[heyelander]

I thought it sucked.

Hard choice between 1924 and 1921 for Ross Youngs. I actually have '21 ranked higher by an extremely slight margin but went with my gut. That's never the wrong way to go, right? Heh.

Youngs has five amazingly similar seasons, and I have 1923 and 1924 in a statistical dead heat, with 1922 about 3% lower, 1921 5% lower, and 1920 about 10% lower. But my rankings may overweight BA a bit.
