How/when are we finding out the draft order?

Yahoo randomly picks the order about 15 minutes prior to the draft start time.

Just thinking I need to do some research so I can say I have at least heard of half my team ... especially the last 4-5 rounds ... who am I kidding I mean after the first round

[blugill]

Are we set on a scoring system yet or using all of the stats?
Just curious as it'd be helpful in drafting to understand the scoring first.

[hotreds]

check the "scoring and settings" tab.

Also added a "NA" spot for minor leaguers that you might wanna grab for later call up.

[blugill]

I don't see like a simple stat like Strike Outs but complex ones like inherited Runners Scored.

[hotreds]

An out is an out- when a reliever comes in it's to prevent the runners
on base from scoring. If they do- it's a negative- this those stat categories.

I agree with Andy, in with K's and out with inherited runners scored. Or we could keep the IRS and get rid of perfect games. Those are few and far between. I do think that K's needs to be a scoring category for P's

[mkarnold1]

For the net steals and net saves and holds is that successful- unsuccessful? (bases stolen -caught stealing, saves-blown saves etc.)

[elderboy02]

I would like to see Triples and IRA removed.

Not so, some outs are productive. For example, sacrifice flies and sac bunts are very productive outs. There are also ground ball outs that advance runners. Basically, putting the ball in play forces the defense to make a play to get an out. A K is always a non-productive out, thus it is a valuable statistical category.

I am still trying to figure out who is still playing ... I know who is finishing last in this league.

Two leagues of seven teams! It's going to be very competitive!
I'm looking forward to some close match ups!

I don't know, I am very familiar with the path to the basement

Yes- If a fella steals 25 bases and is caught 25 times- not as good as 10 SB and no CS.

Point taken- well said!

Will take into advisement the discussion and come up with something tonight or mañana.

[hotreds]

Pared down:

H= Runs (R), Doubles (2B), Triples (3B), Home Runs (HR), Runs Batted In (RBI), Walks (BB), On-base + Slugging Percentage (OPS), Net Stolen Bases (NSB)

P= Wins (W), Losses (L), Complete Games (CG), Shutouts (SHO), Earned Run Average (ERA), (Walks + Hits)/ Innings Pitched (WHIP), Net Saves and Holds (NSVH)

[blugill]

That's a lot easier to keep track of! Thanks!

[mahtofire14]

I like the look of that! Looking forward to the draft and the season fellas! Thanks for putting this all together!

[elderboy02]

Thanks for getting rid of IRA. Awesome!

[hotreds]

Added Ks to pitching stats; we now have 8 categories for both.
