Worst team ever? Need help!!

[cummings2]

I think you'll be fine, it's only 21 games into the season, some of these stats look skewed because of that. Pitching you'll be fine and hitting is much lower than what the final numbers should be. I'd recommend to be patient.

Last time I recommended this I guess the other player just thought I was joshing around and started making changes, drops, etc... soon he'd taken a 5-6 mil cap loss and [i:69306f8eda]THEN[/i:69306f8eda] he was really screwed.

Be patient, go through boxscores look for players getting IBB'd often, recurring spots where your innings end, double plays, caught stealings, etc...they'll indicate to you where to make the necessary adjustments.

I agree with skns, I'm not that restrictive with my pen either.

Good luck. :D

I agree with socal about the OF question...how are you playing your OF?

[raiders91sc]

dunn in LF
winn in Cf
michaels in RF

Thanks for the help guys

what does this mean?

Both Dunn and Sexon have too many BPHRs for your park (They each have the max no matter whether they are facing lefties or righties)


no DH in this league

I do agree with cummings that it's a little early to start panicking and going drop/add crazy, but in the future these are some things to take into consideration when drafting and then finessing your team before the season starts.

The maximum number of chances of a roll coming up as a Ball Park Home Run.

If you look at a card, and break it down so that each number has a corresponding value of 1-6:

2=1
3=2
4=3
5=4
6=5
7=6
8=5
9=4
10=3
11=2
12=1

One side of a card carries a total value of 108 points. The number of BPHR a batter has can range from 0-8. No one has more than 8 BPHRs per side.

Vs. both Righties and Lefties Sexson has BPHR symbols (#) in the second column at the numbers 6 and 10.

Players with High BPHR numbers (5-8) perform much better in home stadiums with a higher Home Run number. (You may already know all this, but just in case someone else reading doesn't...)

Kaufman has a home run number of 2 for both lefties and righties. That means that whenver one of those numbers hits for Sexson (Second Column number 6 for example) a second roll is generated from 1-20. The number has to be equal to or less than the Ball Park Home Run number to become a home run, otherwise it is an out.

In pitchers parks like Kaufman, you want to load up with better On base guys and guys who hit lots of doubles and natural homeruns.


Also - Your outfield defense is not helping you right now.

Dunn in LF isn't the end of the world, however since his bat probably won't help you as much as if your home park was Coors or Ameriquest or another hitters park, I wouldn't have put him on the team.

Winn is a suspect CF at best. I could live with the 3 range in CF if he was hitting well but the +2 throwing will hurt you. It's always good to try to get guys with good arms (negative numbers) at CF and RF. They will be the ones who are trying to throw out guys at home. When I see a team with an obvious starting CF and or RF with a bad arm, I'll up my running agressiveness for the series. It doesn't always work, but a decent runner (1-13 or better) can probably make it home from first on a single to CF if the CF can't throw. Winn fits much better at LF where he makes more plays with the better range, but doesn't have ot worry about making big throws.

Michaels is OK defensively even as a RF, but in a pitchers park, I always try to set myself up with an OF with no more than one 3 in range and no positive numbers for throwing. Your games will be closer and you want to make sure your not giving up an easy run because you outfielder had to take a short fly on a hop because he didn't have the range.

Hope some of this helps.

You may want to look to trade some guys too. Someone in a hitters park who isn't getting it done, wight love to get thier hands on Dunn on Sexson. It might be hard to move Burnett.

Also, I think you may be a little light on extra bats considering there is no DH in this league. You'll be pinch hitting about 2 times a game and it's nice to have some folks that can step in an maybe do some damage. (Not talking 2 or 3 million guys, but look for cheaper hitters that can hit well against lefties or righties.)
