Now available: Stats for players you've dropped

[LMBombers]

Al, I agree with what you said but in that scenario you wouldn't need to see the stats of the injured dropped player as no one would pick him up.

LM, while in general I agree with you, there are a lot of different ways to play this game. I won 7 championships in 2008, and on only one of those teams did I not make a move (according to Bernie's new handy dandy 'players you dropped' guide). Twice I made 13 moves, twice 7, 3 and 2 once. I'm not sure how many of those leagues had 5/10/20 rule, though, and I'm more likely to drop if it's a 10% hit.

In addition to Al's injured player, I make moves for (at least) 2 other reasons: first to adjust to changes made by the other managers in the league. If you're playing in a league with all good players (like the Tour), they will adjust to you. I adjust around 54, 81, and 126 games, adjusting to the league, division, and if I'm ahead, to the playoff opponents.

I also drop because I use a lot of cheap pitchers, and I can use drops almost like I had a farm team, if I'm careful. Those are low dollar moves, though.

I agree with you completely though in that you can't drop a lot of money and win. If you see me dropping a lot of $ (like in the 2009 league we're in together), it's a sign I don't think I can win, and am either trying a desperate gamble, or trying out different players for future reference.

I can attribute at least one of those championships to a major move I made as we went into division play, a gamble, but I was pretty sure who my playoff opponents would be, and in that case the gamble worked. Low risk gamble, though.

Oh, and you're right, the dropped player stats don't help that out at all, but it's good for me when I look back on other teams to have them all in one place.

This is the only potential purpose I see this feature serving. It's like taking a ton of pictures on every vacation you ever go on. Are you really going to stare at each picture, or perhaps just flip through them once in a while, focusing on some of the more memorable ones.

I think people are making way too big of a deal about this feature, when other more critical oens are still waiting to be added ...

This is an absoulte wonderful feature for the mystery card games. Not sure what it would do for anyone in the single season games.

This will be very useful in the non gimmick games. It will help you review your season and evaluate the moves you made. Thanks Bernie for a great addition to the game.
