ATG Help

Porterfield and Byrd are fine.

Viola & Leibrandt will get lit up

The important columns are the last 4. they are OPS,R/C 27,BR,NERP. If you run your mouse over the headings, sort of on
the left side, you will see the formulas used. THE two I happen to use now are OPS and NERP. The lower the better for
these 2 categories .Really good pitchers have a NERP in minus numbers. Check out Maddux. The rest of this stuff,such
as AB you mentioned is the raw data from the cards used in calculating the 4 formulas above.

Thank You so much... I love this game and I love learning new stuff. Thanks again to everyone.

The 22 Hornsby (the most expensive one) is a bit better for your park, more pure power. Try to get RH batters who have 8 BPHR's (# sign) on each side. (Count a 2 & 12 as 1, 3 & 11 as 2, 4 & 10 as 3, 5 & 9 as 4, 6 & 8 as 5, and 7 as 6 for the total of different dice roll combinations that will result in that number.) Get pitchers with no BPHR's vs RH batters. Your team looks pretty good so far.

Your team does have some undoubtedly good pieces. Your pitching could use some work but:

Albert Belle rocks, you can't go wrong with Hornsby, Tubby Scales can rake and that Bagwell card puts up some of the craziest numbers we've ever seen(see Belle, Hornsby). Thomas is amazing but I can't imagine he's the best way to spend 11.44 mil. (u know i've only used bagwell once...)

Point is, you've got some amazing win conditions. Belle is arguably the best value hitter. He can go nuts AND is a 4R. I can never win in righty parks but they do usually win. Its always easy to overspend on certain things especially in 100mil but you gotta spread out your money in as best and efficient of manner as possible. Belle and Hornsby alone make up a near perfect 3+5, 4+5 or whatev. Having those two guys AND bagwell and thomas or two other similar role/price range guys doesn't make much sense. Make sure you have a good to great leadoff and #2 hitter combo, Hornsby alone warrants one.

For pitching, don't have any pitchers with ballpark homeruns against righties (#). Vida Blue will get smashed and Byrd doesn't seem any good. crazy unbalanced starters are...not so much. depends though.

Unless you have a stud RP like Murray, Wilhelm, Sutter, etc your starting pitching will get rocked. You can try to outhit em but without a stud weapon (150+ip guy) its awfully tough.

Starters: Higbe is great, hmm...idk for righty parks. JR richard (i like the cheaper one) if these guys are available.

Build to your division. If there are alot of HR parks, don't use pitchers with #'s.

Best of luck

Ok I used Diamond Dope Check the pitching out now

Should I keep Sosa or Pick up Tony Gwynn

Nels is right. Get at least one super-stud righty starter (the '68 Bob Gibson, someone like that) or a super reliever because your starters are going to get shelled in 100m. You have more of an 80m rotation there.
