Well, not really "like" to acquire, more "required" to acquire, since I already have seven of the buggers and at this point, my credibility is at stake if I don't get all the Curt Schillings. It'll be a while till the offseason, though. EDIT: Also, if you quit after two weeks, you never actually were in the Super-League, so I'd say you get to use 12 points. Your team never showed up in the Super-League Reference, so it might as well not have existed.

Some hints* 1. Concentrate on the shortage positions for your hitters: shortstop, second base, catcher, centre field. 2. Think you found a good player? Go to their career pages on Baseball Reference and SuperLeague Reference. You are looking for hitters with career OPS+ of well over 100, especially in the SL. Starting pitchers, ERA+ of over 120, relief pitchers need low WHIP (career WHIP of less than 1.3, as a start) 3. If in doubt, consult SLRef. Who knew Rick Reuschel would become a sought-after SL player? Recent seasons are more valid than old seasons. 4. Beware of hitters who strike out a lot. 5. You only really need to pick 14 players, as the bench is not really super-important. Your 9 starting positionals and 5 starting pitchers. Everyone's bullpen eventually devolves into a dumpster fire and maybe you'll find a hidden gem in there *cough Tom Hughes 07 cough* *my advice is probably worthless, it took me 4 tries to build a team that lasted more than a season and now they are making GBS threads the bed in a dramatic fashion.

ZenVulgarity posted:How are things with guys who have played multiple positions, or are just listed as 'outfielder' rather than left, right, etc. When people have played multiple positions, head down to "Standard Fielding" on the player's Baseball-Reference page. That gives you a breakdown on how many games the player played at each position. "Outfielder" means that the player never really stuck to one side of the field throughout his career. So if you have a Babe Ruth or a Shoeless Joe Jackson, they can play left field and right field, but if you have a Ted Williams, he should probably stick to left field, or if you have a Paul Waner, he should probably stick to right field. There's some wiggle room there, though. Playing Ted Williams in right field won't torpedo your team hardcore, you'll just lose a bit of fielding efficiency. Then again, I'm not really big on defense, so maybe I'm making it seem more harmless than it actually is. I played Manny Ramirez in center field, I don't give a poo poo. Rules of thumb for multiple position fielders: - The position he played at the most will probably be the one he was best at. - Caveat: The older the player is, the worse he will be at certain positions (2B, SS being the prime ones) and he will probably gravitate towards the easier positions (3B, 1B, DH). Same thing with players who gravitate from the outfield to first base. They can probably still play their older positions without setting the house on fire, but a 37-year old A-Rod should not be playing short. EDIT: As for your shortstop problem, don't forget that you still have opportunities to get more players. I started out with jack poo poo for short, then drafted a prime A-Rod in the Dispersal Draft, who served me well until I pawned him off for Schillings, replacing him with Jeets, who has also been good so far. Trading is always an option, and some people in this league LOVE to trade.

ZenVulgarity posted:How are things with guys who have played multiple positions, or are just listed as 'outfielder' rather than left, right, etc. Examples: Playing a young Mel Ott at 3B is generally going to be better than playing an older Mel Ott at 3B, even though he didn't play 3B when he was young. One owner made a team that almost had an infield with only Jimmie Foxxes. Edgar Martinez routinely gets played at 3B, for better or worse. e. Shortstop can be rough. If you have old-timey pitchers, you can punt on SS hitting a bit if it nets you a great defender. Old-timey pitchers throw a loooooot of grounders, so having a sure-handed guy in SS makes up for a lack of hitting. At the end of the expansion cup, there's a draft where you can probably draft a mediocre-to-great SS (or any other needed position) to fill a hole if your feeders are threadbare.

At the bottom of that table it'll break down how many games/innings they have at each position. If they're really old-timey it might just say "OF," but it's still usually broken down as LF-CF-RF on the far right. Look at Willie Keeler on the 1901 Superbas, for instance. That 17-9-2013 shows he's a right fielder.

ZenVulgarity posted:Alright The draft is rather simple. We take some of the teams that died the season before and stick them all in a draft pool, then people get to pick players like in any other sports draft. Here's a link to last season's draft sheet so you can see how things look like. Also, draft note: Your dispersal draft picks, especially your first rounder, will get you VERY good players. Do not just trade them away willy-nilly. EDIT: Bullpen things! Here's how I put together my bullpen: CL; SU; SRP1; SRP2: These are dedicated relievers - the modern type that pitches an inning or two at most. You can find those types easily just by looking for the people who get saves and those with few innings pitched per season. MRP; LRP: These guys normally need some stamina in them, so what I do is I just put my lower-tier starting pitchers in there. Essentially, imagine your LRP as your SP6 and your MRP as your SP7. Some people like to put a dedicated reliever in middle relief instead. Not really sure which is better. TheMcD fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Oct 5, 2015 |
