    There are too many players with 10 discipline
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    I don't.

    I don't know, I think it should be based off of something

    Re: Draft Class '08

    The class looks very good.

    I would like to see more MRs!!! (maybe less SPs)

    Also a few more 3.5ish specs would be cool, but I know it's hard, tedious work, so this can definitely be overlooked.

    Thank you!!!

    Who cares about 3.5 when you can have a 5?

    Re: Draft Class '08

    I don't like the idea of going off of last seasons order, because the teams are completely different. I like Prov's idea of doing a reverse order of the initial draft. That is really the only fair way to do it.

    Re: Draft Class '08

    reverse order from the fantasy draft seems fair. why should it be based on last year's records when we had nothing to do with that and the teams are completely different now than they were then?

    Some teams benefited from picking high to begin with and to be fair the other teams should get their turn now. Obviously, from this point on it would be based on the records. JMHO...that seems like the fair thing to do. Whatever Crazy chooses is cool with me.

    Re: Draft Class '08

    Is it really fair to have the Mets drafting 5th though?

    Or Chicago 6th?

    I mean, the draft was blind, it's not like it's unfair to teams who got later picks...some of their players are better...

    I think you and gf rate the teams or rate the first round last time and do it off of that...I just can't reconcile the idea of Miami drafting 2nd and Tokyo drafting 28th.

    I mean Tokyo has nothing and they're drafting near the bottom? That's a bit silly to me

    Re: Draft Class '08

    Opposite of the fantasy draft would be stupid, because the fantasy draft was snake, and this isn't snake. Just do it by records at the time of the draft, that's the fairest way, and if anyone tries to tank then kick them out of the league.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    Sure 11th overall pick and #4 rated system...

    I'd like to hear what Tokyo has to say

    Obviously I have no influence if Crazy does choose one way, and I'll do whatever, but I don't think reverse fantasy is fairest because it was blind...

    Re: Draft Class '08

    right...because I said reverse because I'd have a high pick (it'd be 10th by the way since I draft 21st). I said I thought it'd be fair...not do it because I benefit :rollseyes:

    Going by last year's records I would have had the 1st or 2nd pick so if I was out for myself, wouldn't I have suggested that Dry? KC and I tied for the worst record.

    Going by this year's record isn't too bad, but then next year's draft is based on this year's record as well, which is sort of double dipping even though the end of the year records will be slightly different...that hardly seems fair to me.

    edit: and we all know the system rating is perfect...the 2nd guy listed there for me is 24 years old and far, far away from developing so that list means shit as any seasoned OOTP GM knows.
