Guess you shouldn't tank so hard stool. How many years in a row is this for the 1st overal pick. It's 3 of the last 4 nah 81 and 83 you had the 1st, he had it this year and 82, and the #2 in 81 and 83 |

So any of the good guys are reserved I’m Pitt and can’t reserve shit. Andrew McCutchen Jason Kendall could of also had SP's John Candyman and Kent Telvuke and if you hadn't tanked Smiley was number 2 for this draft... |

I believe the over inflation of this league is a big reason that Jeremy quit. Mark McGwire isn't GOOD in hits. He's a lifetime .263 hitter that hit above .287 less than a third of his seasons. I hate this "oh I'm reserving him let's jack the shit out of his ratings" stuff. Seriously folks. Who here who actually watched McGwire thought he was "good" hitter. He was a homerun hitting beast. I never considered him a "man if I need someone to drive the guy in from 2nd, this is the guy I want up" guy. Unless I was needing a 2 run HR.

If McGwire is correctly made AVG in hits, he'll be upgraded to GOOD through our points system anyhow, which is why it's in place. The argument for Maddux is a little better only in that you can't bump him to BR although at times Chris has allowed this as a Christmas type gift IIRC

So players that flamed out because of injury and had short careers should get better... longevity is killed by the game as it is, I mean Nolan Ryan will have no chance of competing to the ripe old age he did because of the game. Who cares why someone quit, as the league is what it is, and a player shouldn't be judged differntly than another just because he had longgevity. Mac had multiple seasons above .300, and avg doesn't allow for that... Unless we implement a roid clause for the sims |

Then an 120 win team gets one of the most valuable assets in the league. Because his team has a better history.

I don't know how batting average translates to hits rating in OOTBP, but McGwire had 1 *full* season where he hit over .300. 1993 doesn't count. That was over 27 games. He plays the full season, he most likely regresses to the mean and finishes below .300. I'll even give credit for the half-season of 2000, but I have to agree with those who are arguing against McGwire receiving a boost in hits. Brilliant ratings in homeruns and walks should be plenty of value as it is, and be most accurate IMHO.

I took over the braves in 77, have never had a pick below 12th and only 2 people on my ML roster were on the team when I took over and one of them was a 2nd that had a heck of a PD, yet somehow I won 116 last year. yeah... what can a guy do. |

Ah, the old "Take out all his bad seasons and he was really good!" argument. in this league good equates to .255-.270 for the most part... was he in that range? could he even get close to 300 in that range? |

Ah, the old "Take out all his bad seasons and he was really good!" argument. and btw that takes out his early years when he was prol brought up too soon, and has 92,93,95,96,97,98,99,00 so yeah no consistency what so ever... |

Two seasons, one with less than 100 AB's and one with less than 250 also I believe. That's it. This is where I have to be careful because I want to scream "did you even watch him play" but then I get accused of being get off my lawn guy. That being said, DID YOU EVEN WATCH HIM? He was not a .300 hitter. Without roids he probably doesn't sniff it in the just under two total seasons that he hit .300. Lot's of guys have hit .300 in less than 100 AB's. Lots of bad hitters. |
