Pricing - Who's high, who's low?

Trout, including HBP has over 600 plate appearances yet has a 2 inj rating. Always thought the standard for a 1 inj rating was 600 PA's. I know a few years ago Bonds also had a 2 inj rating, but was still only subject to a 3 game max injury.

This is from a link in the game rules

.....Additionally, if the number is bold and green, the player cannot be injured for more than the remainder of a game (he had 680+ AB+BB in real life); if the number is italicized and green, the player cannot be injured for more than 3 additional games (he had 600-679 AB+BB in real life).....

Notice there is no mention of HBP. Trout had 593 PA's. 603 if you count his HBP's. So he's subject to the Max injury. But....

He's definitely an outlier as far as the 2 injury goes. I sorted some previous sets by PA. These are the 1st players to show up with a 2 injury along with their AB+BB totals:

2018 - S. Perez - 527
2017 - Realmuto - 568
2016 - Pagan - 537
2015 - D. Murphy - 530
2014 - S. Marte - 528
2013 - Y. Molina - 535

Excellent point Jerry. Why no love for the quiet face of MLB? Here's SOM's e'mail: 365support@strat-o-matic.com

Bob, great research (as always, you're the king of it). Thanks for clarifying the rule. I was always under the impression SOM based it on plate appearances (which MLB includes HBP). But yes, getting a 2 rating is still a bit of a shock. Worst case should have been a 1 with a 15 max. BTW, Trout appeared in more games than Jose Altuve, has more PA's than Altuve, yet Altuve gets a 1 inj rating. I'm sure there's more examples as well.

I don't understand the injury on Cano's card.

In 2017, Starling Marte got suspended for 80 games, yet his injury was on 2/2.

Why does Cano get the injury on 5?

Maybe because he was actually injured while he was suspended?

Ok, so back on topic, whose price is too low?

I'm curious to see if Voit might be too low at 9+ for all that home run power

Brandon nimmo. Wayyyy overpriced. Not sure why

I agree with Nimmo to a point.

I've been saying this for years about today's players... They've lost or forgotten how to take a walk.

One of my favorite players of all time was Vlad Guerrero. There wasn't a pitch that he didn't like.
But the guy was a great hitter. (He did walk once 84x) Guys today think they can go up there and hit... well they can't.

All that being said...
On base is a premium, as is defense in Strat world.
Nimmo is a 2 in the corners, and a 3 in CF.
There are exactly 6 position players with .400 OB or >.
(Holliday, Winker and JD Martinez are DH's.)

You want OB, you're gonna pay for it.

Culberson at $1.00 is so ridiculously cheap , I believe it has to be a mistake.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh
