Yeah, but Stone, like every pitcher in the game, will insist on using that 5/8 changeup in the worst situations. An ML pitching coach should tell them at some point to develop it or drop it.aaronweiner wrote: ↑Wed Jun 08, 2022 10:45 amStone is selectable because he doesn't need his changeup to be effective.cheekimonk wrote: ↑Wed Jun 08, 2022 1:14 amRedmon has red flags all over.

More than a little, but I picked the right guy.
Just not happy.
Stone should easily fill his POT but he's got that pesky 5/8 changeup that, for some reason, never develops in this game. There are so many excellent & great BBA pitchers that have a half-developed changeup dangling out there.

Re: 2051, BBA Ammy Draft Chatter
If ammys were evaluated solely on best mustaches and best uniforms, Joseph 'Jo Mama' Mother would have been #1 overall.
I was hoping to grab him at #19 but no, @jiminyhopkins beat me to the mother with the 18th pick.

Re: 2051, BBA Ammy Draft Chatter
I think the "ridiculous" part comes from seeing all the hitters be "8 or 9" contact when "5" should be closer to average. Relative ratings would bring those numbers closer to 5(I realize it wasn't right at 5) so that the front screen users(myself and most of the league) think a 7 is above average instead of a 7 being a horrible player.
It also makes managing the minor leagues a bit easier so that I can see my players "ratings" compared to ratings of other players at each league level.

Re: 2051, BBA Ammy Draft Chatter
I suppose it might do some of the work for us. But there's still high 5s and low 5s, and the high 5s might be a normal 8 and the low 5s might be a normal 7, for example, but we wouldn't know the difference.
Besides, it wouldn't make the players in the draft better (which was kind of my point).

Re: 2051, BBA Ammy Draft Chatter
Forgive me if these questions have already been asked and answered: It certainly seems as though by their drafting, GMs in the league think there has been much more pitching talent than hitting talent in these last few drafts. Is this a normal thing? Is it an illusion based on the ratings change, or will we be an extremely low-offense league in ten or so seasons?

Re: 2051, BBA Ammy Draft Chatter
I know I’m new to the BBA, but I’m finding it difficult to tell what’s a good player in the league pitching wise when it seems like a large portion of the pitchers are 8-8-8 guys or something similar. This has me question if the pitching around the league is that good and the hitters that bad or something else.cheekimonk wrote: ↑Wed Jun 08, 2022 3:13 pmThe level of hitting talent in these drafts is just woeful.
