As the Angels GM, I'd like to announce our intention to move our club to a replica of West Side Park (circa 1910) on the shore of the Dead Sea.

Is stadium choice still up for discussion? Custom stadiums would be a little ridiculous but choosing historical dimensions from actual stadiums would be fun.

My top 2 position players were Trout (obviously) and Cano (positional scarcity).

Initially I thought Sale would be my pick but I was surprised Felix dropped to 15.

What's Jeff Mathis' contact/power ratings in 15?

Sorry for breaking the rules, I know all y'all had him going in the 2nd round

In going to guess the autopick is Punto

The more I think about it the more I wish I had picked Sale instead if King Felix, gently caress

The PECOTA numbers I've seen like Weaver this year.

Latos was going to be my pick you rear end in a top hat :argh:

Wacha Flocka Flame is a good pick, had him pretty high on my draft board.

I honestly forgot that Kemp existed

I still have a ton of (10 or so) sleepers that fit the system I'm trying to create. The hard part is trying guess when I need to take them based on what everyone else is doing.

noooooooo my sleeper RHP

Take away his picks and give them to me commish tia

edit: Utley would have been my pick here. I can't wait till someone takes a certain Punto RP and the RP cascade starts

Gorman Thomas fucked around with this message at 02:33 on May 16, 2014

The lovely thing is my original plan was to trade up to take Utley and welp would you look at that. I would have still taken Zobrist (@ SS) and had an Utley/Zobrist middle infield :getin:

Jul 24, 2007
I had Cole #5 on the available RHP list. Behind the Punto quadruplets of course

I thought about taking him over Napoli because of "my plan" but I thought Napoli might be a slightly better defender and is also right-handed so I dunno.

Napoli is actually a solid defensive 1st baseman believe it or not.

gently caress, I was going to go back and switch out Wilson for Heyward 5 minutes after i picked but I wasn't sure if that would be kosher.

He's a bad pick because he hasn't played an inning above AA and his K rate there was 30%, the dude is not ready for MLB. The point of the thread is to draft the best baseball team, not to game OOTP's rating system.

The point of my team to pick dudes I like, hence why I will be finishing with 110 losses like all my seasons in ootp 13.

hey jerkface I was going to draft that punto in the 25th, now my secrets out!

Don't forget to draft Old Man Inbanez in left zodiac

Gordon and Cespedes were my LF targets for round 6 gently caress everything

PECOTA projected Lincecum at having a 3.3 ERA this season :smugmrgw:

Does pecota take park effects into account? I was high on Timmy/Cain because of that too because of that.

I hope injury free Quentin works out, PECOTA has him pegged at a.795 OPS in PETCO

I thought no one else knew about Calhoun :negative:

If anything this draft has only made me want to buy ootp so I can gently caress around with gimmick drafts and teams

Clippard was a rushed pick since I wanted a reliever but didn't want to hold up the pick train so I hope he works out.
