(Close hold secret: look at the times the defense is tested in your old boxscores from '69. The algorithm has to be screwed up - but I didn't just write that and you'll have to do your own research to see to what I refer)[/quote:64c366edbc]

I dunno, I just looked at my last 6 games in a current '69 league and there were 70 'x' chances. That's about 12 per game.

I know that is a small sample, but still.......

I looked back at a few past leagues and the average WHIP is about 1.4. So that means that every game you face an average of 39.6 batters ((1.4x9)+27outs) (we'll figure that errors plus hbp less DP's will add a little to that total, so let's use 40 as a round number).

All pitcher's cards have the same number of 'x' chances as follows:
ss: 7
2b: 6
3b: 3
cf: 3
c: 3
1b: 2
p: 2
lf: 2
rf: 2

for a total of 30/108 or 27.8% of the rolls.

All things being equal, 20 rolls on the pitchers card will result in the following 'x' chances per game:

ss: 1.3
2b: 1.1
3b: .6
cf: .6
c: .6
1b: .4
p: .4
lf: .4
rf: .4

or a total of 5.6 per game, per team.

Pretty close to my quick peek at 6 games where the average was 70/6 or 11.7 total.

I beleive that we all need to draft 10 pitchers and 15 hitters for the actual auto-draft. :shock:

Keep that in mind as we wind on down in the last few rounds of the draft...
