60M Owners Draft & Analysis Topic

Sorry about that sometimes I tend to ramble on. We should post who we think has the easiest division and hardest. Right now I say brainjw has the hardest because it will be him and we all know who else. The king of the low cap leagues and also happens to be very good at other caps too.

Well if this is who I think it is, then I'm glad I'm over in the AL so at least I have a glimmer of hope for the wild card.

Ha, I hope people read my 70M strategy that netted me 75 wins.  I punted third base and went with all sub-300K guys.  They combined to commit 65 errors with 19 "-" plays.  They also combined to hit a robust .182.   And just because that wasn't bad enough, I decided to short myself innings. I only took 1200 "good" innings (1256 total).  I was fatigued so badly that besides having to throw 74 innings from my two scrubs (producing an ERA over 23.00), I also had to "sacrifice" one of my 4 starting pitchers.  Larry Gura ended up pitching most of his games at 80-83%, finishing the season 6-21 with an amazingly respectable 4.82 ERA.  He went 1-17 in his last 26 starts.

Now, I bet all you captains regret passing on me, now.
Since there wasnt many 60mil leagues to look at i pulled the the results of the 60 million theme for the past four years and averaged the 70 million theme this year. Not everyone had results but at least it was something to go on. Schwarze actually scored comparatively low and should have been my third round pick based on that. But i know how formidable he could be. So i just went with someone i have had fun competing against in the past in buddhagamer. He wins sometime and i win sometime. The other two in the first rpund i have little experience against so i just went with their past history in second rpund 60 million wis championship competition versus everyone elses history. I have comptede twice in 60 million leagues. One stinking and the other one going into the second round of the toc. I overthought this one so i am destined for a poor performance.
I'm curious on your reasoning to pick jbohrman to get the top selection in your division (and to some extent even jjgreen14 who isn't that much farther back).  Since he's essentially only a single point behind you in the overall standings, is it for the confidence that you can perform well enough to overcome him getting first pick (thus increasing your lead for 6th).  If so, I applaud your moxie...
Mostly it was based on their last points in the 60 mil WIS championships.  In 2013 jbohrman had 77 wins. In 2012 he had 76 wins.  In 2013 jgreen14 had 80 wins and 2012 he had 63 wins.  Pretty much the lowest of what was left. Again not an exact science.

wish I had a three-sided die but since I don't... for this no-win pick, I choose... mildnhazy

So I guess my strategy of "tanking the 70M theme in round 1 so I'd get picked early in this theme" didn't work?

10/8/2014 11:39 PM
Certainly not me. WTF? Well,I guess I'm honored...

Guys, the easiest/fastest way to send your roster is to simply copy & paste from the team center.  The format isn't pretty, but it's readable and you don't have to worry about a type or other mistake.

Also, don't forgot to include the ballpark you are using, when you site-mail your roster.
