At 3B, the error numbers kill you, so the 2e8 is actually quite a bit better than 1e26. For equivalency a 1e26 is about the same as a 2e18.

If you assume 87 X-chances over 162 games, here are the raw numbers from the X chart broken down (note that when I use 1B/2B/3B it is the equivalent impact from the combination of hit/error chances on the X charts):

1e26 vs. 2e8:

DP's 9.6/7.9
Outs 50.4/63.0
Single 21.8/13.8
Double 5.2/2.1
Triple 0/0.2

One important consideration is the ballpark. An error is significantly more punishing in a 20 20 20 20 park than it is in a 0 0 0 0 park. Another factor is the strength of your pitchers. Errors are not nearly as bad when a 12M pitcher is in the game (the bases are often empty). If your pitcher is $1M (talking starters here) you are probably giving up runs.

valid excellent points. as I only play 80 mil, my SPs r always below 8 mil but more likely 5 mil.
