Little Rock Razorbacks
1). Who is Drichar138? I am 32 years old and have been married for 10 years. I have a 9 year old son. I live in O'Fallon, IL which is about 20 min from St. Louis.
2). What are your interests and hobbies? Other than watching sports I enjoy horse racing and working out.
3). What are your favorite sports teams and which one is #1? I am a St. Louis Cardinals and Rams fan, but my #1 team to follow is the St. Louis University Billikens Basketball team. I am a season ticket holder. We just might make the tourney this year so look out!!
4). Who is your favorite WIS player? Probably Yorman Costilla on my Helena Grizzlies team in NCAA I world. I grew up near St. Louis and loved the St. Louis Cardinals of the 1980's and as a result always enjoyed players that could steal bases. Yorman is the most complete lead off hitter I have ever had in HBD. I often get mad when he isn't play up to my perception of his ability, as I have very high expectations for him.
5). If you were a player what sport would you play, at what position, and what rating? Probably basketball, I played PG in high school and have always loved the flow of the game. My ratings would not be that good. I was a good ballhandler and had speed, but couldn't shoot a lick.
6). Best piece of advice for HBD? Don't make any trades in your first 3 seasons of HBD. It just takes too long to gain an understanding of all the nuances to consider when making trades. Contracts, age, makeup, health, position scarcity within the world, etc, etc, etc.
7). The most over-rated and under-rated ratings? The most overrated rating is probably splits. So many people are attached to a pitcher or hitter with 70/70 splits without taking into consideration the other key ratings. The most underrated rating to me is range. I see so many people trying to get away with 2B and 3B with range levels below the recommendation, including myself at times. I would lump glove for a SS into that as well. I can't stand seeing a team playing with a SS with a glove below 80. That would never happen in real life, the fans would storm the field.
8). Favorite and least favorite part of the game? Favorite parts of the game are the mornings I wake up to a draft or world roll over. Those are awesome!! I dislike Spring Training with a passion.
9). Who are the owners you respect and/or enjoy the most? Obviously I have a lot of respect for hop for bringing me into his worlds, I probably would not have stuck with HBD if that would not have happened. Other than that, I also have a lot of respect for cmthieme. I met him playing HD and he turned me onto HBD. It seems like he has good teams in every world/game he plays. Not sure how he does it. Finally, I have to mention Hurricane384. He is the most active trader in any world he is in and its always fun to haggle out a deal with him. I think we see and value players the same way, which make it easier to get deals done .
10). The thing that may surprise us about you? I played little league baseball with John Rheinecker who pitched for the Texas Rangers in 06 and 07. When John and I were in little league we were the two best players on the team and took turns playing 1B and SS in games. As I got older, I started getting into basketball more and kind of walked away from baseball. Looking back and seeing the success John had, I sometimes hit myself for doing so. I wasn't going to be an MLB player, but I may have been good enough to play baseball in college. But, I fell in love with Basketball and couldn't help it. The kicker is that I was never really good at basketball, just enjoyed playing it more.

Regular season games. Least favorite is waiting for rollover.

5). If you were a player what sport would you play, at what position, and what rating? Basketball, point guard. I'd be retired due to lack of speed anymore.
6). Best piece of advice for HBD? Be careful trading, it's one of the more enjoyable aspects of the game but can really hurt a team if you're trading just to trade.
7). The most over-rated and under-rated ratings? Over-all rating is the most over-rated; under-rated is individual pitches.
8). Favorite and least favorite part of the game? Favorite is the interaction with other owners; least favorite is tankers.

Don’t panic, see what the successful teams do, select a strategy (they differ) and adhere to it. But, what do I know.
7). The most over-rated and under-rated ratings?
Overrated – Temper, Underrated - splits
8). Favorite and least favorite part of the game?
Favorite – Amateur draft planning, Least – Tie between Hiring Coaches and injuries
9). Who are the owners you respect and/or enjoy the most?
Seriously – all of them as I’m continuously amazed at how much more everyone seems to understand than I do. But as an aside, Hop has been a great help in keeping me grounded through the early seasons.

I walked on the moon… I think.
