Do I really consistently lose games, Pat? One 3 yr rebuild out of 20+ seasons where I picked 9, 8, 11 (not including my first season where I picked 4th w/ an inherited team). Is that consistent? Besides that I've picked in the late teens to late 20s every single year, including those when I was winning the division repeatedly. Pretty sure I've only missed the playoffs a small handful of times, which is tough to do if you're consistently losing games. Somehow, Pat, I've managed to consistently kick your ass at drafting without having to shake down the bottom feeders for all their top picks. You should try it. Go ahead, say how I have not won a championship. Does not change my statement. Also, you should look up the word "consistent."

I mean, a hell of a haul, but it matters where you picked and its harder to pass final judgment on a class without anybody reaching the bigs yet, even if some are virtual locks. But yeah, that's about as good a group as any.

I drafted four players who appeared in the top 100 in the last year and my first pick was #23. I think that's pretty good. I'm sorry JP ripped you off for Felix Hernandez in 2016 and your brain malfunctions now when it comes to trades. Some scars last forever, I guess. You should really put yourself out there more (for trades, not for non-baseball talk)Orioles wrote: ↑Sun Mar 02, 2025 4:42 amDo I really consistently lose games, Pat?

This you? "Consistently" bad-ish this decade.
2024: 83-79 (wahoo! over .500)
2023: 76-86
2022: 71-91
2021: 70-92 (my championship year)
2020: 79-83

Wow dude. That's impressive. Gee, I didn't know you cared so much. Indeed, as I said, I did a 3 year rebuild. That would be my 70, 71, 76 win seasons, which you posted. Where are my other like 20 seasons, Mr. IBC Historian?Guardians wrote: ↑Sun Mar 02, 2025 1:05 pmI drafted four players who appeared in the top 100 in the last year and my first pick was #23.

In any case, my draft record is out there. If yours is posted, please link to it. I'd be interested to see how often you turned late draft picks into MLB assets.

Yeah, when I pimped my draft skills, that's kind of exactly what I was saying. I am unquestionably the IBC draft champion.
Predictably, like a 2003 Yankee fan (but with 26 fewer championships) your only recourse was to change the subject and talk about the time when you won a championship. Good job. Kudos to you for 5 years ago.
What happened to posting your draft record? I'm sure it would've taken less time to throw up there than a snarky little art project. I thought you had a super duper draft last year, didn't you? Aren't you proud enough of your ability to evaluate young players to show all your past success at maximizing draft pick value?

Think even you’ve got to admit that ‘snarky little art project’ was pretty damn funny.

I thought I was pretty clear. He's responded to my draft shit talking before with the exact same thing. Not super creative.
Still no link to his draft record.

Trey Gregory-Alford, Kavares Tears and the recently snagged Rodney Green were the three atop my list when I last picked at 107. I got one more guy I'm looking at for 147. If he doesn't make it there, I'll pass quickly.

Strop was my guy. Passing on 147.
