When we are assigned AAA players, whether in a theme league or an OL, the players are normalized vs 2010 stats. U-pic AAA players are normalized by the season they actually played in. SIM assigned AAA become normalized by their RL stats if they get into a TOC. Correct?

I thought that they were Salary and fatigue based.

I do not believe that the TOC piece is true,  but the rest of that is definitely true. 

Note that I am not stating you are wrong about the TOC part, just that my opinion differs.  I don't have any information one way or the other about the TOC piece, but the rest of you statement has been confirmed.

I would assume that everything is correct. If AAA players no longer cost $200k in TOCs, I doubt that they are normalized by 2010 stats either.

Anyone know the answer to this one ?

I have two AAA players that have been important to a team about to start TOC play, and it would help to know if instead of the very good performance that came of their being normalized against 2012, they are being normalized based on their RL season played, which makes both of them pretty good instead of great. 

If this is true, it means:

1) I may need to shift where I have them in the batting order; and

2) liga_pelota, amycox,  brianjw and co. in the TOC are going to clobber my team worse than I previously thought. sigh.

One of the interesting things about the way AAA normalize in OLs is that Ken Boswell of the 1969 Mets would hit like Eddie Collins today. 

Which I guess makes Horace Clark Nap Lajoie and Glenn Beckert Rogers Hornsby. 

In fact, it make a great pair of theme leagues: in one you can only use 2011 pitchers but any hitters you want; in another all position players are 2011 and the pitchers from whenever you like. 

If those are successful, I will start a military strategy site in which one team plays General Custer and the other is Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse with nuclear weapons available.

The original statement is correct. Go get the Nukes!

I don't think it's 2010, I think it's the most recent completed year.  At least that's what it used to be.

 

But everything else matches my understanding exactly.

Is the first sentence on this accurate?  I was under the impression that AAA were normalized by taking a RL player's raw stats and normalizing them against the most current year.  So, then Ken Boswell, a .270 hitter in 69, as AAA would not be that great as he would be normalized against 2011's pitching heavy stats (not as good as 69 for pitchers, but pretty good).  Rather, I would expect a player from 1924, 1930 or 1894 to mash as AAA.  Have I had this backwards all along?

That is my understanding, as well.

Can't find the numbers today, but he hit around .320 with an OBP of around .400.
