Winter League

But he's good for your park or whatever..

So I'm sure you guys who have done this before already knew this, but the draft is really terrible. I picked Dustin Ackley (758 OPS, Av d) 2nd over Buster Posey, Adam Wainwright, Ryan Zimmerman and Prince Fielder, just for example.

My highest OPS was 85th best, and that's on a 1B/DH (Adam Lind), and my best ERA and WHIP were 73rd and 66th. Those obviously don't tell the whole story, but yeah.

I liked the Peter Bourjos pick the best.

and drop Andy Marte, Jeff Fulchino, Charles Cutler, Chris Guttierrez

I'm not sure anyone has done this before. In the other league I'm a part of we use the end of the season disc to have a round robin tourney a little like the WBC. I may be wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if the draft seems a little wonky because of ZiPS penchant for projecting 85% of the league to OBP/SLG .320/.410 and thus up the middle guys who either OPS above that and/or who provide superior defense to be picked higher than they would normally be if the projection disc was of Tom's design.

Everyone's in the same boat.

I'm planning on getting the first series simmed Wednesday. Have a bunch of MPs so far, but would like to see some more.

New DB sent out. Let me know if you didn't get it. For some reason I didn't.
