$101 Mill, one player left. :coffee:

Had room for some more PA's at catcher, but got semi snipped in the round before with Parrish and someone else that I can't recall.

 
BTW, in regard to francings, is Defense going to count, and if so, how do you adjust for guys who play at a non primary position (i.e. Tony Phillips who is like c-/c- as an OF, but is B-/A+ for 2nd, where he's playing. I have about four of those and think that might have helped my salary? Don't know.

 
Also, jfranco. what you're attempting seems similar to somethig the famed mrharrier tried in Sim III or IV. He tried to use 1986 Mark Eichhorn (68 GP, 0 GS, 157 IP, 2.28 IP/G) as a regular starter. He figured on about 30 starts on a strict pitch count that would average out to about 5 IP/GS.

The experiment failed spectacularly. Maybe it was because Eichhorn's performance was restricted in the sim by the real-life IP/G number, and couldn't go 75 pitches every appearance.

 
Just throwing this out there... I think Rodg and Kraft have made themselves prime candidates for the next Lord of the Nerds. Nice job with the clock updates, fellas.

When I put them on my sheet I put them with their best position. So Phillips is listed as a 2B. In addition to the rankings it is also my sheet. Now, once I finish my initial research and someone not on my list gets picked, I am just guessing which season they would use, but I almost always pick the one I like best.

Phillips is +28 runs on my sheet, behind Knoblauch, Biggio, Alomar, Alfonzo and Ryno.

Yeah, Eichhorn is good for about 40 pitches per appearance with that IP/G.

Ontiveros is the only guy I have to be careful with, he is good for about 76 pitches/game based on his IP/162 in a 5-man, but he can only throw about 65 based on his IP/G. So I will have to bump him up in the rotation a few times so he gets 35-36 starts instead of 32.

Yeah, that was what killed Harrier's experiment.

Duh.

 
Radio announcer for the Twins, Dan Gladden had the Hrbek/Gant bobble and a Hrbek jersey hanging from the press box for the game in ATL two days ago.

Didn't help.

Hey, I might just be slow. But that Eichhorn experiment always stuck with me. Made me very leery, in general, of using low IP/162 starters (I know, Eich wasn't a real-life SP) as a regular part of a sim rotation. Those same guys are fine for spot starting, or maybe half-season starting or something. But I'm curious to see if we can throw out a 150-IP starter (with, say, 21 real-life GS at 7+ IP/G) 30 times at 75-80 pitches -- or roughly 5 IP/G -- in the sim.

these will be my final totals... assuming I don't get sniped on my last player.

Hrrrrrrier's experiment was killed by hubris, as all Hrrrrrrier ventures were.
