Toilet of Sadness Jeter would be available either for end of the first round series or the beginning of the second round series depending on how long the first round lasted. Cronin is out for the year, though. ManifunkDestiny A ratings challenge allows an owner to challenge the rating that the Mogul engine gives to a player.

Fielding ratings for Dykstra and Puckett. e: Also I see Boog still rated 80/97, I assume I lost my challenge? I understand that his BABIP will normalize (indeed it seems to be doing so already), but I also think 80 is a low rating for a dude who can mash.

Mornacale posted:PA, SLG, BABIP, and L/R splits for hitters, especially Hrbek, Robinson, and my C's. BBs for pitchers. Fielding ratings for Dykstra and Puckett. I'm thinking about Boog still sorry - the real question as his predicted stats outside of the expected. There is also a larger issue about how good Boog really is, and what Smasher's view is on guys who have unusual career trajectories. The way BBM works is that it assesses a players full career and then maps it to a standard career profile, with the height of the start, end and peak being set by the quality of the player and his career length. This approach is normally reliable, but some guys don't look like that - typically because BBM doesn't know about 'external events' For example, look at Hornsby and Barry Bonds. During the 1930 season, Hornsby broke his ankle and never really recovered as a player, but limped on as a pinch hitting rear end in a top hat for some time after that. However, because BBM2013 has no idea about the injury he suffered, 1931 Hornsby is still a good SL player. Similarly, Barry Bonds discovered the secret of inner peace circa 2000, and became the best hitter to ever play baseball. However, BBM doesn't know about Ser Barrold's discovery of transcendence and so 1999 Bonds is a better hitter than 2001 Bonds. This effect is what is making Boog an 80/97 guy - BBM sees him as starting a great career, rather than what he actually was. I want to consult with Smasher before making any significant decisions because I don't want to give you unrealistic expectations for SL performance. The reality is, is he's not a SL firstbaseman - if you have less than 60 WAR you need not apply imho. Todd Helton is about the minimum acceptable standard. As for your actual request for stats, for the next update I'll see about throwing up the Sabremetric stats, which will get you BBs, SLG, and PAs. It's a bit more challenging to give you L/R splits so I might have to deny that. Cthulhu Dreams fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Nov 9, 2012 |

Box Score   Don May posted:
Box Score   Team Statistics      Analysis Traynor is healthy.      Analysis Chipper Jones should probably be your starter at 3B in the Gauntlet.      Analysis Okay, Williams isn't working out, it's time to either give McDowell another shot or roll the dice with Appier.      Analysis They need to rally, if only because there's a limit to how many rounds a teams can be reasonably expected to survive the Gauntlet.     Analysis Still rolling. Might be time to spell some of your tired players to get them ready for the playoffs.      Analysis Hey, at least Griffey finally showed that power you were complaining about last time.      Analysis Schilling and Ryan are ready to come back.      Analysis If this doesn't work out, how about you name your next team "A Team Named Sue"?      Analysis NO!      Analysis Interesting in theory, disastrous in practice. Also, I'll never understand why you put Valenzuela in relief. That is NOT how Fernandomania works!      Analysis Now that you have Alexander back, you can team him with Wood and recreate the Ryan/Alexander tandem that led the Skyhawks to three titles.      Analysis If I could make it so that every team could be a winner, I would. If I could make it so that no team came in last place, I would. But I can't do either of those things, and this is what has to happen as a result.      Analysis How the gently caress does your team keep surviving?      Analysis Your team is probably going to be the first ever to have two 20-game winners, or at least the first one I remember doing so.      Analysis I need to figure out and isolate what settings you have on your team that are leading your A.I. Manager to get your starters to pitching complete game after complete game.      Analysis At least you guys did better than the Superstars. Standings and Leaders     Playoffs/Gauntlet Picture

^ Not sure it matters hugely, given that someone just bid a real player. Cultists Bid Ted Lilly on AJ Burnett Cultists Bid Jeff Reardon and 1935 Bob Johnson on Killibrew. quote:Instructions The AI will automatically do this if it thinks Lolich is well rested enough to start when Red Lucas comes up - it basically always says 'is the staff ace fit enough to start over the scheduled starter?' which is why at the start of the season you see the high endurance rotations don't let the 5th starter pitcher, like at all. I can force the AI to start him, but you run the risk that Lolich is still tired, and while it's your call I don't recommend it. Consider also bumping up the 'start on short rest' slider.

Here's how the bidding will work: -Any owner with a team, Expansion or Super-League, can bid, and can bid as many times as they like. -Owners can bid anything they want, players, draft picks, whatever. But, they can't include the same players/draft picks in multiple bids at the same time. -I will decide how much a bid is worth, and whether it is more than the current bid for a player. -The Super-Auction will run for a few days, probably until the end of the week. -Enjoy.

Smasher Dynamo posted:'86 "The Eternal" Jesse Orosco Just to confirm: when you say "giving to the Superstars" what exactly does that mean? Just adding them to the team to play out the season? Do they go in the dispersal draft afterward? Most importantly, the confederated Superstars owners can't get their hands on them, right? And Don McMahon was a quality pitcher. Anyway: '11 Jack Lapp: 1932 Eppa Rixey '09 Jhonny Peralta: 1932 Harvey Hendrick '06 Roy Halladay: 1964 Norm Siebern, 1932 Si Johnson, 1968 Denny McLain, 1990 Kevin Tapani '66 Steve Carlton: 1964 Robin Roberts, 1964 Wally Bunker, 1968 Norm Cash, 1968 Earl Wilson, 2004 Jason Bay '98 David Cone: 1990 Shane Mack, 1932 Harry Heilman, 1964 Harvey Haddix, 1968 Elroy Face '61 Stan Williams: 1968 Jon Wyatt, 1990 Juan Berenguer, 1990 Rick Garces, 2004 Sean Burnett '78 Tug McGraw: 1964 Eddie Matthews, 1990 Terry Leach, 2004 Raul Mondesi, 2004 John Grabow

In addition to my (86 OVR/95 POT) catcher Mitch Meluskey offer, I'm going to put someone likely to draw a little more trade interest. Given that my team is likely to be out-UZRed by nine Fatheads glued to a cardboard backing, Felix Hernandez is getting destroyed pretty hard, and he deserves better than that, because he loving rules.. So I'm willing to listen to offers to pack in Mitch Meluskey with him to get back a drat good strikeout-throwing ace pitcher. Don't be alarmed by the ERA at first! Given even an average defense behind him he's going to light poo poo up It's going to need to be a kickass strikeout dude (at least 8 K/9) and either a 95 overall rating or a 98+ potential rating to get the both of them. To even get me talking about trading Felix, it's going to have to be a dude with a 90 OVR rating with a high K/9. I'm talking ace-for-ace poo poo here.

And we continue our crusade despite the Generics continuing to overperform their pythagorean record by nearly ten games. Ah well, even ten games better than they should be is still eight games back of a legitimate team. In any event, given that 2/3rds of my outfield is sore, I guess it is time to let some players sit for a bit. Since I understand Curtis Granderson is constitutionally incapable of hitting lefties, and George Foster is right handed, I think we can make a little something work. Lineups for the coming week: pre:vs LHP 1. RF Stan Musial 2. CF Earl Averill 3. 3B Tony Perez 4. 1B Buck Leonard 5. C Johnny Bench 6. LF George Foster 7. 2B Dave Concepcion 8. SS Ozzie Smith vs RHP 1. LF Joe Jackson 2. RF Stan Musial 3. 2B Joe Morgan 4. 1B Buck Leonard 5. C Johnny Bench 6. 3B Tony Perez 7. CF Curtis Granderson 8. SS Ozzie Smith Beet fucked around with this message at 12:39 on Nov 9, 2012 |
