Why is Pete Browning listed as a DH on the Round Summary? He has A- range...

He was a full time DH the past two seasons (including season 1 on my team). His D fielding would translate into at least 30 errors in a season...

Different strategies, I suppose. I would likely use him in the OF in most parks

Browning would make 12-14 errors a season at DH!

John McGraw, 3b

Damn. So close. This draft is already shaping up exactly like last season, where I miss my targets by a few picks every round. Hate picking in the middle.

I seriously almost took McGraw two rounds ago, then was surely going to take him last round (except that Luis Tiant was still around). Couldn't believe he lasted this long.

Depends on the pitchers. Modern day pitchers vs. deadball pitchers makes a big difference in number of errors.

Did not know that. Which way does it swing?

Modern pitchers = less errors

The year of the batter also comes into play, with modern again yielding a lower chance of error

From the knowledge base:
We also use Log5 normalization for fielding and determining errors. The 4 key pieces here are: fielder's fielding percentage (FPCT), the league average from the fielder's season at the position, the league average from the hitter's season at the position and the league average from the pitcher's season at the position.

His performance history averages out at 14 errors. Not sure how much different this league is v open leagues as far as the distribution of eras. I would imagine pretty close, despite the salary difference.

I see the 1887 version at 17 errors per 799 innings (or ~31 over a full season).
