2010 Draft ideas and information

[Kingdom]

Shit, I wanted compensation for Jason Varitek's guaranteed spot in the ASG and catching a couple dozen no hitters. Blasphemy!

[ljshorty89]

Oh, Varitek is a type * Free Agent. Whoever signs him gives up every draft pick in the future of their franchise to the team that loses him...

[Kingdom]

I'll take NYY's future.

[ljshorty89]

...I figure that may be the only fair way to compensate a team for losing such a leader

[Kingdom]

At least I have Pete LaForest to lean on.

CJ... i meant no personal offense to you... just having a good discussion. We just disagree a little bit. All is well at my end.

[DMBZeppelin]

As I responded before, the 2009 rosters were completely jumbled. For example, there were guys like:

Cleveland had CC all year
Texas had Matt Cain
LAA had Gallardo, Kazmir, and Valverde

and MANY more.

The rosters were so jumbled, and so many moves were made, that teams that were dominant last year may not be in the same shape that their record would make you believe.

Then why do I have guys like Sam Fuld and Jake Fox on my MLB roster and not Micha Hoffpauir and Joey Gathright? Why is Chad Gaudin who was HUGE for the Cubs in 2008 and winning 97 games, still on the A's? The Cubs got him and Harden in that deal. Yet all the players the A's got from the Cubs appear to be on the A's. I don't think it's a valid argument with players still on the wrong teams.

Regardless I don't care which way we do things, was just pointing out what made more sense to me.

[ljshorty89]

I agree to a point, the problem being that we did our best and gave everyone weeks to notify us if errors had been made. Most people sent in requests, and Gaudin should indeed be moved, I'll talk to Kyle about that. However, it's difficult with some minor leaguers or prospects because they required creation in game, which is a pain in the ass.

Chad Gaudin won 97 games?

Guys..........listen

There will be no comp for free agents lost to free agency in real life this offseason. That's just not going to happen. Comp will start next offseason.

And DMB, you had plenty of time to send in roster edits. We already wend over this, you need to stop *****ing about it. I already fixed some guys for you after the deadline. No more.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

my mistake: i meant there will be no comp as in no draft picks will be changing hands for comp. we will do sandwich picks. i'm gonna talk to LJ about the specifics, will let you know soon

[DMBZeppelin]

And DMB, you had plenty of time to send in roster edits. We already wend over this, you need to stop *****ing about it. I already fixed some guys for you after the deadline. No more.

I didn't say anyone should be edited, created, or anything like that. The only one who suggested it was LJ. Who said Gaudin should be on the Cubs. Which doesn't seem like some crazy notion to me, especially since the rest of the players involved in the trade are on the correct team.

I wasn't *****ing. I was just talking to LJ why I thought the draft order should be a certain way. No reason to get all crazy about it. I already said I didn't care. Whether you went with real life records from 2008, or last years sim records. It's pretty clear neither will probably reflect what the actual order should be. Which is one reason why some S3F leagues use to do records as of June 1st for the inaugural draft. The only problem with that, is we couldn't do a board draft for the first draft.

Again, none of this is a huge deal.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

The lack of a board is exactly why I dont' want to do records up to the draft. I want to get it started as soon as I can

[browntown653]

IT IS A HUGE DEAL!!!! THE INTERNET IS SERIOUS BUSINESS PEOPLE!!!!

Zito, I should get comp for signing Varitek.

[Kingdom]

You did, Ian Kennedy will pitch like a human being now.
