oxbay Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hey, TS, just wondering...why not just do a fantasy draft and get into playing the game? I do like your write ups, I'd just like to see them used more during the 'season.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwentySeven Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hey, TS, just wondering...why not just do a fantasy draft and get into playing the game? I do like your write ups, I'd just like to see them used more during the 'season.' I'm trying to do this dynasty a certain way, that's all. Besides, this keeps all the other teams intact too. I'm going to be getting into the season soon, no worries there. I'm almost done with the "preseason". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxbay Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 That's cool. I just didn't want to see you burn yourself out prior to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timp Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hey, TS, just wondering...why not just do a fantasy draft and get into playing the game? I do like your write ups, I'd just like to see them used more during the 'season.' I think that what TwentySeven is doing is FAR more interesting than just a fantasy draft. It's fun to see all the trades and juicy rumors. Keep it up, TwentySeven! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwentySeven Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 One or two more preseason days, guys. We're almost there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 So what's the lineup looking like right now? Or do we all have to wait in suspense? Nice work, dying to see what's next... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc006 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I was hoping you would trade everyone but DJ. Oh well, still a really nice dynasty. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RmembrZito75 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Loving what you did to the lineup. Will Travis Buck get time playing this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwentySeven Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Loving what you did to the lineup. Will Travis Buck get time playing this year? Probably, but he won't be a starter - my outfield is pretty packed already. That actually looks like it's going to be a problem for me. Obviously, if you look at it, Quentin is going to be an absolute stud in the outfield for years. Melky doesn't project to have enough power, so I'll see how that turns out. Rios doesn't look like he has much plate discipline or power, so I'll see how that turns out. But I definitely have a full outfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwentySeven Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 Season preview will probably be tomorrow, then I go back to school so there will be less updates. But I for sure will be playing games. No worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwentySeven Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 "No effect on the team whatsoever" lol, have you been reading baseball prospectus? Its no change at all, same manager and everything. Why would it have any effect? And yes, I read baseball prospectus every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I read baseball prospectus every day.Oh, I thought you meant "no effect" by it doesn't matter who the manager is. BP is good, but sometimes they get on my nerves. I'd rather be reading Bill James or Rob Neyer than BP, but it's still overall good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwentySeven Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 That's not what they said at all. In the book "Baseball Behind the Numbers", they found that switching from a "fiery" manager (Ozzie Guillen) to a laid back manager (Torre) causes the team to improve for a couple seasons before they return to normal, and likewise, switching from "laid back" to "fiery" causes the team to improve, but then go back. It was actually a quite interesting study. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually a quite interesting study.Actually, I have that book about two feet away from me. (Isn't it weird we've been reading the same books - Behind the Numbers, and Fantasyland.) You're right, now that I think about it, that isn't necessarily what they said. BP writes some interesting stuff, but sometimes I get the impression they're a bit stuck up. On the whole though, I think the "scouts" side in the "stats vs. scouts" battle is more stuck up and pompous than the statistical people. The stats are still the underdogs.

TwentySeven Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 Yes, I know, the handwriting isn't realistic. It's hard to make realistic handwriting with computer fonts. In case you are wondering, I couldn't get MVP Sav Reader to export properly, I need a tutorial or something to figure out how to do it properly. So, in the meantime, my roster looks like this: C Chris Iannetta C Guillermo Quiroz 1B Larry Broadway 1B Travis Ishikawa 2B Robinson Cano 3B Garrett Atkins SS Marco Scutaro IF Ryan Theriot IF Kevin Frandsen LF Melky Cabrera CF Alexis Rios RF Carlos Quentin OF Bronson Sardinha SP Chien-Ming Wang (DL) replaced by SP Matt DeSalvo SP Matt Cain SP Adam Loewen SP Kirk Saarloos SP Jonathan Sanchez SP Jeff Karstens (DL) replaced by SP Darrell Rasner RP Justin Duchscherer (closer) RP Scott Proctor (Set-up) RP Bill Bray (DL) replaced by RP Chris Britton RP Brian Bruney RP T. J. Beam RP Sean Henn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwentySeven Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 Thoughts on the pregame report, please? Also, I was going to try to get the game done today, but my game has been crashing at the starting screen. I'm currently trying to find a fix, but it's a bit late for me to play a game and then do the post game report and all that stuff, so expect the game tomorrow if I can get my game to start working. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
