Yeah, those Red X's just can't play worth crap.

I don't know why it isn't showing - but if you click on the right "image"  - it should show up...

C'mon man, that must be at least 300 AB total among those 6 players. What more can you ask ? 

Seriously, if you right click on the images and then click on "open in a new window" you can see it. Yes, a particularly bad set of AAA that time I must say. 

maybe - to be honest, this was my first OL - so I don't have experience - but it wasn't that I just had 1 guy do good, all of my AAA hitters performed amazingly

Thanks to Italy I was able to look at your AAA guys. Have played a lot of games.. never seen anyting quite like your  AAA performance.  My only question would be why didn't you play them more given the gift?   You probably would have been better than you ~.500 performance.   Sometimes you have to run with the gun.

Yep. With how close the competition can be between guys who know how to build an OL team, good AAA like that can make a huge difference.

I really only had this team in the league to see how a couple players performed as I was thinking of using them in the WISC - I knew it wouldn't be a guarantee of how they would perform, but I figured I could get a close estimate.  So for that reason I kept my starters in all season.  My offense actually did pretty good - better than I expected - but my pitching bombed...hence the .500 record - 

I am relieved to hear however, that this is not a common occurrence.  

Small sample size + right conditions (weaker opponents and hitters park) will do that:

They clearly played very well vs reds (2-157 team with relievers beyond tired) and Spring Hill Sluger II (65-94 Coors team).

I've only check 4, and quickly (so there might be a little mistake or two):
-Metivier 47/119 total, 15/28 vs reds, 10/14 vs Coors team. 22/77 otherwise looks ok to me on a Baker Bowl team (8 contact, 5 power).
-Matanguihan 46/104, 17/34 vs reds, 7/11 vs Coors. 22/59 thats very good but not .442 (10 contact 3 power).
-Ware 39/79, 19/33, 9/15. 11/43 (7 contact 1 power)...
-Monroe 33/89, 16/33, 6/14. 11/41 (8 contact 1 power)...

Monroe hit 22/47 .480ish and the 3 others were 25/42, 24/45 and 28/48 clearly above .500 vs 2 weak pitching teams for somewhere between 35% and 55% of their ABs.

You use them in the right conditions, which is not a bad thing, but it looks quite normal to me.

Maybe I missed something, but its the first thing that jumped to me when looking game log.

since my browser doesnt show edit, Ware looks 11/31 against other opponents... overperforming (unless other right conditions to favor him)... it happens, but still way below is total numbers that suggests .500 hitter. My bad.

Did you ID the players? Curious as to who they are.

I didn't - i've never really cared about AAA to spend the time to look it up
