I don't want to be up till 1 AM doing a fucking baseball draft, asshole.

 

[Ghetto Anthony]

I did the best I could to schedule the draft when people will be on. People are usually home Sunday evenings. Stay for the first 15 rounds then, they should go by pretty quickly and in-between picks set up your draft rankings so you can leave when the time comes.

 

[SAL]

I'll make a last-ditch argument for having some stat that accounts for walks. Imagine you have your all-world slugger at the plate, and he does something positive, something he'll do over 100 times this season, and you get nothing for it. Kind of annoying, right?

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

So don't draft Albert Pujols then.

Total Bases?

 

[Baller]

Keep stats the way they are. 29 rounds. Jesus Christ.

Of course I'll draft to the stats of the league, just making an observation.

GA, I didn't realize it would count toward TB.

Hmmm. Upon further research you don't get a base if you draw a walk or are HBP. So we have no category that rewards walks because we've decided to go with AVG instead of OBP.

Dislike.

I'm gonna give the commish a HARRUMPH on this one.

HARRUMPH!

 

[Ghetto Anthony]

Average = Hits / At Bats
On Base Percentage = Hits + Walks / At Bats

Average = Streaky
On Base Percentage = Usually more consistent

Just saying.

 

[SAL]

Batting Average = listening to your music on an 8-track player
OBP = one of those ipod things

 

[Ghetto Anthony]

How about converting TB to OPS and keeping BA. Would that make everyone happy?

 

[SAL]

Yes.

 

[Ghetto Anthony]

Excited to see the draft order. Hopefully I get top 5.

 

[SAL]

I'll take any spot other than 5-6-7.
