My bro and I loved Strat back in the 60's with the paper version rolling the dice. We even pulled it out and played it via Zoom during the lockdown. But since Strat 365 is new to me, I dug into Palmtana's great post for Newbs with strategies going back over 18 years.
There are some real gems in there - the gem for today is NERP: Net Earned Runs Produced. This is so powerful that one of my new buddies in a 1964 league said something that amounts to "you, a rookie? what a joke!"
That's the power of the NERP formulas I found. Following links in Palmtana's post you'll find a formula for calculating NERP if you have all the card stats at your fingertips - but I didn't. So I crunched the numbers and based it on the free Salary spreadsheets Strat gives us then pulled in some data from Baseball Reference. Great site.
Also in the NERP posts are defense tables. Wonderful tables that show just what the difference is between ss-1e10 and ss-2e22. (Spoiler alert: It's huge. The NERP difference is 6.8 runs... where Mickey Mantle's *total* NERP in 1964 is 31.7!)
I'll spiff up the tables I have in Excel and put together an example how to use them and post them here. Hopefully tomorrow.
