I tried reading through the forum on player reservations...a bit lost in that information, still being new. Basically what is it going to cost me to reserve Burnett?

if you have the second pick it might be worth it to hope he falls, there's no consensus #1

Heck Kerry Wood is rated similar but younger. idk, I like it, still leaves him with 90 FPR for a second, and he gets the guy he likes. Also I've griped to Chris, Break didn't seem to do the best 7-9 years and AJ should be good in avoiding walks |

Also I've griped to Chris, Break didn't seem to do the best 7-9 years and AJ should be good in avoiding walks the entire point of developing this formula was to find a middle ground, now we're inflating every guy who had a decent stretch again. the formula takes 7 year periods and averages them all. |

That's brilliant? |

That's brilliant? yes, because he played 110 games at most a year, and hit home runs at a brilliant pace for the games he did play. It's not hard to look at the entire statline and figure that out. |

He was good, but not that good. Career ERA almost 4?

So, if you want him you won’t have to reserve

the most accurate way to determine brilliant HR hitters would be to do a HR/AB ratio, and I have a feeling Thames would pass that test too.

break, a person that never hit 30 HRs in a season, much less multiple should never be a brill HR person. I'm done with this

He was good, but not that good. Career ERA almost 4? 3.86, but sub 3.5 for most of his hey day, which is what a BGGGB guy can dream of here... Though maybe that's be elite as pitching falls off, as ooof what I am seeing for the "studs" headed our way YIKES |

He absolutely does, and your complete ignorance of his games played per home run by continuously only talking about him by seasons is aggravating.

the game doesn't represent platoon players well, the numbers move toi the ratings, so you make a so so everyday player into a stud, he'll become a stud everyday player

115 HR in 10 seasons is not bril... no matter how you look at it

I'm using a full spectrum of statistics to come to my conclusion and you're best response has been "he averaged 14 hr a year" when he played at most 60-80 games most of those years.

if he played every day in real life he'd have been a 20+ HR guy year in and out. That's a GOOD minimum.
