Can some tell me a little about the player I have? This is the list of hitting cores. This is 3^rd season of a new world. If that matters at all. Thanks

1B       79 86 85 56 75

1B/LF  53 89 68 82 59

2B        85 73 74 73 77

2B        82 46 67 64 94

SS        67 74 65 48 73

3B        53 70 69 88 42

RF        62 64 72 51 81

LF        72 83 60 90 78

CF        57 23 94 80 14

 

I have to point out that this is there projections. some are closer then others to reaching them. I have 18mill spent to see these numbers.

It's tough to turn ratings into stats. It all depends on the world you are in because other factors such as ballpark factors, opposing pitchers and your coaches will effect the stats. That said that looks like a pretty solid lineup if those guys make it close to projections.

There are some questions that pop up with your team. Is either of your 2B capable of playing CF? If so I would likely play that guy there and bench your CF. The 2nd 2B listed looks like a solid #1 or 2 hitter. The first 2B listed would be a good #2 or 3 hitter. Your LF'er would be the best bet to hit 3rd and your 1B would be your cleanup hitter. After that you could go any number of ways. Against lefties I'd go SS, RF, 3B in the 5/6/7 slots and your C 8th (I'm guessing he isn't very good based on you not listing him here). Against righties I'd go 3B, SS, RF followed by your C.

You have some talent here but it's hard to predict where they will end up. If you want to get an idea as to what numbers you can expect search other guys in your world with similar ratings and see how they did. Keep in mind they may have played in different parks so there will be some adjustments to be made but you should get a good idea what you can expect. In general though, just make the best lineup you can and don't worry too much about stats.

I would suggest it is worthwhile doing your best to forecast stats, otherwise you will have trouble estimating how strong your team is and what you need to compete. It also helps when evaluating whether or not you can afford to play a guy or two who is strong defensively but whose bat may not be great.

Park effects will have an impact, as timf pointed out, and you should probably assume that not all of those guys will reach their projections fully. For what it's worth, if I had that lineup with current projections, in a neutral park I would expect the following approximate career OPS numbers:

 

1B       79 86 85 56 75  - .850

1B/LF  53 89 68 82 59 - .850

2B        85 73 74 73 77 - .850

2B        82 46 67 64 94 - .770

SS        67 74 65 48 73 - .790

3B        53 70 69 88 42 - .780

RF        62 64 72 51 81 - .730

LF        72 83 60 90 78 - .880

CF        57 23 94 80 14 - .645

Best thing to do is look at vets in your world with similar ratings and see how they have performed. Do that enough and you will likely start to find some patterns.

Good luck.
