Bunting/Hit & Run

[The Biomechanical Man]

[quote:285008cd79="kab105"]I don't know if this is a DH league or not. If you have Vizquel hitting 8th or 9th, I would set him at "bunt more", but would not set him to "hit & run more" Hit and run is not successful enough to suit me. Also if you have him hitting anywhere but 8th or 9th, I would just leave him alone.[/quote:285008cd79]
It is a DH league (that's why I have Morneau and Fielder). Vizquel is batting 9th vs lefties and 8th-or-9th vs righties.

There is one other advantage to the H&R and Bunt charts...

It takes the injury roll for a player out of play because you are no long rolling on their cards.

I know playing in a F2F league years ago, if I had a high injury guy with a good bunt rating and I was leading a game late, I'd often bunt just to avaoid injury even if the situation didn't call for it. Now I know HAL likely won't do that, but still if you have agood bunter, and you use it often it lessens the chance over a season of rolling an injury.

Great point Ninersphan. I have thought the same thing myself, when actually playing the game (as opposed to the computer playing the games for you....) but I forgot the point in my post. You bring up an excellent point!
