All Injury Teams

I’m wondering now about the pricing of injuries in ATG. I was looking through the pool and found nearly zero low priced injury players that appear to be “bargains”. I’m not even convinced that those higher up the price chain present good value.

On the 200x side, the bargains literally jump off the page at you, to the point where some managers have cried “Foul!” Over here, not even close.

Using 2s might be a good way. But even then, I’m not sure you’re scalping much, if any, value away from the pack.

FWIW, here’s a recent example from the 200x side. I think there are close to zero cards in ATG (Youngblood, maybe) that buy you this…

Take a look at Stanton’s card ($2 mil). It’s like a $6 mil card with no injury in ATG.

I was in that league and lost the division tiebreaker. Bruce and Riley other productive low priced "bargain' injury players https://365.strat-o-matic.com/team/1616856

Insane, Jay Bruce more HR's and RBI's than Mike Trout who costs 11 X as much.

Rich,

If you’re looking for another game within the game, GB-FB ratio is a fun one.

See if you can create a winning team with more FB than GB (from the Your Team page, go the Sim Misc Stats). You can go the Bonds route, or you can go the $6 mil route (Higginson, Mostil, Oliva, J-Ram, Vizquel, Zobrist, Hodges, Napoli, something like that). I started to do this, but I’m currently in a pitching wormhole that I can’t climb out of.

I was assured often that it would not work (spoiler alert: it does). Basically GB-FB ratio is just a really good proxy for SLG. I can help with the forum posts where you will be assured that there are no bloop singles, swirling winds or launch angles in Strat.

To find the guys, just go to your old leagues and survey each team’s Sim Misc stats. They are few and far between, but trust me, they are there. I’m guessing no one in ATG has tried this one yet, either.

For one reason or another I remembered this post and decided to give this a try…..
