My team's been pretty middling in early sims, although its against some good teams. Hard to tell in preseason when testing players out, etc... always seem to be in close games, don't always seem to get over the hump.Oh, and #### babe ruth.Hope my squad works out like you're thinking ...

Me neither ... figured he's be around during mid-draft (Rds 12-14, say).Really? Had no idea anyone else cared about Sweeney.
Yeah.FFA at 3 central, correct?

2000ish is probably about right. If you have enough PAs having more than that is fine, some pitching in this will probably be worse than expected.Looks like I drafted way too many innings.
I'd think a decent amount of everything will be worse than expected. But bringing in a later round crappy pitcher to save a failing early rounder will only go so far. I've never had a problem with 1450 or more innings, personally.2000ish is probably about right.

I was targeting 1500-1600 "real" innings in a hitters park.Looks like I drafted way too many innings.
All the scrub/marginal players I took are bench hitters, outside Blyleven I think I have a pretty good staff. If one of my starters craps out, I have two possible replacements as well as middle inning innings eaters to fall back on. Also have four traditional relievers and Dave Righetti who might be relief.I'd think a decent amount of everything will be worse than expected.

And to keep the balance of life, my teams continue to suck.I guess back when I was single, barely employed and not nearly laid enough more abilities were devoted to this.

I hope) and can't keep up with my young wife on that last front as it is - maybe AR's wife has some friends for her.![]()

I already have values for about 90% of the players picked in my spreadsheet. I just have to enter the owner for each player and then add them up.My rankings don't like Sisler or Gwynn or Shoeless Joe very much. I didn't take into account how well the player fits into their park, or their speed or anything like that. Just offense (OPS) and my eyeball ratings for defense, and just using ERC# and innings for pitchers with no consideration for HRs.

Anyone that loses to me should hang their head in shame.i think i've built a different ranking model for each of these historical sims. still trying to figure out the right balance of offense vs. defense vs. speed.pretty sure the first model (HOVG?) started with OPS, though not even sure if i was using OPS# back then. Did a VBD calc by position, and then tried to add booster points for defense and speed ratings. But, in the end, i felt that model didn't put enough weight on defense.this time around, i started with a Salary/PA (or salary/IP) metric overall, and then attempted to do a VBD calc for each franchise. Added bonus points for position scarcity. It was a mess.so, still on that holy grail quest.I already have values for about 90% of the players picked in my spreadsheet.
