2015 All-Time Franchise Tournament: WHITE SOX WIN!

[philpritchard]

i am pretty bummed, skitch.

I remember during the LCS era tournament how bummed I was that my entire draft strategy proved to be wrong and my team was so very bad.

I so overthought the entire thing. Drafting mediocre players based entirely on their LH/RH splits.. so when they sucked, I had no alternative.

i didn't overthink at all /:

You'll figure it out rook. Phil finishes in last every season- and he's done this a million times!

This isn't nearly as much of an exaggeration as I wish it was.

Well I had 10 games of easy stat tracking. Now I've changed all my lineups. We need that pivoty thing that Coppertom was talking about. He should make a spreadsheet for us.

He's going to want something in return.

I starred all his levels. that should be enough.




Also, I have inserted Alex Avila into the lineup to face the righties.

Im pretty proud of what we did on these spreadsheets given our limited (well mine was limited) excel knowledge. Especially in porting it over to open office.

I pretty much learned everything I know about spreadsheets because of this tournament. I rarely used them before.

Same here. I was so sad when we ran out of things to add.

No, that was all Jorge. His additions to the thread were everything that were not 100 percent baseball specific.

and pretty damned solid.
