Posted February 27, 200520 yr comment_906353 Lately, I've been toying with the idea of running a mock draft, covering the whole of major league history. After the draft, I would form the teams on Out Of the Park 6, and run a season. What do you guys think?
February 27, 200520 yr comment_907282 I'd love that idea and would be curious to see how the players would pan out.
February 27, 200520 yr comment_908067 I'm in. I already know who my first pick is, since I am 100% sure no one will pick him, unless Al is an asshole enough to steal him from me .
February 27, 200520 yr comment_909393 Al, I can't remember if I confirmed this the other night, but depending on when the draft takes place, I'd like to give it a shot.
February 27, 200520 yr Author comment_916429 Six players so far (including myself). I'll likely run with this idea, holding an offline draft, and setting down a few guidelines in the near future. Anyone else interested?
February 28, 200520 yr comment_924267 Sure...I'm so putting Cap Anson on a team made up enitrely of black players.
February 28, 200520 yr Author comment_926322 For the record, Negro League players in the Hall are fair game. I will do my best to approximate their rankings. I won't make all of them available because its too easy to draft Biz Mackey and declare he's the equal of Mickey Cochrane when I do the rankings. (He might be, but its arbitrary).
March 1, 200520 yr comment_964586 If you won't be creating the players, I recommend using Ankit's Career Normalized DB. A couple questions... A) How many rounds will this draft be and when will it likely occur? What will the league settings be? Ex: 3, 4, or 5 man rotations?
March 2, 200520 yr Author comment_965501 A) How many rounds will this draft be and when will it likely occur? Long enough to create a 25 man roster, at least. As for when it happens, hoopefully not long after I get 12-15 teams. B. What will the league settings be? Ex: 3, 4, or 5 man rotations? It's your team. You can carry whatever positions you like, as long as you can field a team. You can set whatever rotation you like.
March 2, 200520 yr comment_968479 I guess I can give this a shot. I think I've got a copy of the Baseball Encyclopedia buried somewhere.
