And where the hell is Corey? Sooooo busy

Still waiting for blackshaw to bat around the Mendoza line

I mean he did go 3-24 last week for you... he'll get there.

Death, taxes, and Blackshaw disappointing an owner while batting .220 and striking out 8 million times

on pace for 7+ WAR and makes 12 mil. disappointing alright..

waiting for my scout to get back from international scouting 20/20 dumps, i will look tonight to see what he thinks about this draft class

im usually positive when it comes to draft classes but this one is pretty awful.

something has to give

This Draft is loaded.

OSA disagrees


From there, we're all just assuming our scout is more correct than everyone else's.

Isn't that the point of having scouts? OSA is just considered an average scout right?

And isn't baseball drafting kind of a lottery anyways?

Yea, but our scouts have wayyyyyy too much variation.

JohnC wrote:OSA is just considered an average scout right?

Given the variation thing I mentioned, i'm not saying I'd trust OSA more on an individual player. But if OSA doesn't like a draft, i'm confident that the draft as a whole is a dud.

Somewhat, but not necessarily at the top. You still have your busts obviously, but I've seen data that shows the success rate on 1st rounders is pretty good and way better than 2nd rounders, and so on...

you're confident? before any of them play?!

Uuaww wrote:you're confident? before any of them play?!

Yes


I'm confident that a a draft pool that OSA loves will end up being better than a draft pool that OSA hates.

ill give you a 2nd next year for your first this year

because statsplus is awesome at work. In our history we have only had 5 single team Hall of Famers.

Granted this is a newer scout for me, but my previous scout hated everyone in previous drafts. This is why my teams finish near the bottom every year and bad decisions on my part while drunk late at night - contract extensions! Ha! My newer scout loves this draft class and since I will possibly finish the worst or next to last team in the league this year, next year is looking like a top-five draft pick slot for the Las Vegas Outlaws.

I thought ratings didnt matter?

If ratings let u down look at stats

Hot tip: if they have good ratings and below 100 era+ or ops+, chances are they'll flop.

Q, do we get 15m each to spend on ifas or is it based on your available funds? with max u can spend being 15

I only ask cause even if in red you get x amount of money to draft so iunno if same applies to ifa

also this "no blue osa" is only on a technicality... Pat Jones, Jeff Weber, and Jack Sparks should be blue.

i think its the max 15m based on funds avail, but we honestly have no idea until it happens.

I would think it’s gotta be funds available. Even before you could see budget for IFA at 2.5 mil but if you didn’t have cash you couldn’t use it
