Who'd you rather have a SS, a 3e8 or a 2e25?

?????????????????

Assume, if it matters, that your 2b is a 2e20.

About the same but the 2e25 is a little better.

The equivalent in error numbers is approximately
ss - 21 e to 1 shift
2b - 18 e to one shift
3b, c - 9 e to one shift
1b, p - 6 e to one shift
cf - 13.5 e to one shift (higher between a 3 and a 4)
rf, lf - 9 e to one shift (higher between 4 and 5)

They're similar, but if each gets 648 PA in a full season, you can expect the 2e25 to be about three runs better over the season.

(To make a long story short, it's a 1.1 run difference per 108 rolls off their hitter's card; therefore, it would be a 3.3 run difference per 324 rolls off their hitter's card, which, since you only roll on the hitter's card half the time, would equate to 648 PA.)

Thanks for sharing and all your work, Dean. That's an invaluable article. I hadn't seen it before, and had been using the Slick Fielder calculations.
