i love that against all odds Hensley Aspromonte continues to turn in viable ML starter numbers even though he's quad-A at best, whatever the magic "player luck" hidden rating is must be pretty high for Hensley and then on the flip side there's Pat Sweeney, who keeps getting hosed by the fickle finger of fate at every turn

someone needs to contact vancouver, his team's minor league pitching is in such bad shape it's actually hurting my team's development.

Oh, I'm not saying he is actually as good as he's been, just that he's hardly chopped liver.

My franchise has had multiple Cy Young winners since I've taken it over and has graduated two super-stud top of their class starting pitchers to the bigs. I think Rickey Meyer might be my first ever pitcher of the week

I would be last in any other AL division. Love to under perform my pythag by almost .100 Also in 14 season of Wally and a variety of other good pitchers in a clowndick park, I don't think I've ever had a pitcher of the week.

I know overall ratings are kind of meaningless but I probably shouldn't be seeing only one player over an 80 right

At 20 mil high school scouting I see 7 players over 80 with the best topping out at 89. And many of the 70s players have very useful skillsets. This is not a shallow draft by any means and that's without me seeing anything on the college side at all.

That being said, the defensive ratings I'm seeing on a lot of these top prospects are just wonky and are making me question my scouting altogether. Or maybe WiS just tweaked their draft formula to make different styles of player.   I call that last one "The Sandoval"

So maybe cheaping out on advanced was a poor decision? Or I shouldn't have gone college > HS. Either way, oh well, I hosed up Almost all of my top ranked guys are shortstop quality bats with guys that have zero chance of sticking at shortstop too

Neither of your amateur scouting budgets are particularly high though so that could have something to do with what you're seeing.

Ugh this team's dead, somehow my offense is 14 runs worse than the second-worst in the world and that's with waiver pickups Tom Crow and Everett Sierra somehow hitting .338/.416/.559 and .266/.326/.476 respectively. Vladimir Thompson's the only other guy with an OPS above .750.

Previously you could get away with very low hs/col (and intl for that matter) scouting budgets because you could see the current ratings and infer from there. Now you can no longer do that, so people with small scouting budgets are seeing essentially random projections.

Now you can no longer do that, so people with small scouting budgets are seeing essentially random projections. what's funny to me -- the guy who basically never drafts anyone useful in any world anymore -- is that, with super low scouting in the old system, you'd see currents, but the actual pool you saw was so low, you had very little to choose from and had to try different tricks to luck into a player. The new system is different, but I don't think I can do any worse than I've done under some of my old 0/0 drafts (which, to be fair, has been awful in some worlds, especially in those years when I get an unexpected high pick from a Type A and take a 5th-round level talent in the top 25).

Would it be frowned upon to offer my pick plus a player of the other owners choice for a player I want at their pick? I get that it sounds kind of shady so I don't want to do it without your blessing

If you want to put the deal on the table and both parties agree and do it next year, but it seems like a lot of moving parts and chances for things to go wrong.

Also if for whatever reason one of the owners drops out you have to decide whether or not to hold the new owner to the deal. I'm ok with it in theory but there's a lot of ways it could go wrong.

I know we did that with the Damaso Lee for Wilton Thames (and Chipper Satin) trade. I don't think anyone here would be willing to alienate themselves from the rest of the people in Dimaggio for the sake of a player (who only has any value in Dimaggio). I wouldn't make a habit of it because of the injury chance, but if both people commit to re-up I don't see any problems.
