It's a non-linear scale, so only the upper end needed adjusting.

So because its non-linear, when they get to a certain point, they just slow down the number of home runs hit?

I think it basically means we wont be seeing anymore 80+ home run guys no matter their power. 60+ could be very hard now even with the best of power hitters...

I think they're just saying that the outliers (in terms of HR/AB) on the top end will get dampened.

And, while you're at it, could you tell us exactly how the engine works? Also, which ratings are more important and how they work together?

Thanks.

Maybe the record books should have an asterist next to the older records.

It's a doggone shame that Arlen has applied his beautiful mind to other obsessions.

My probelm is that people aquired players based on what they have done. If only top power hitters are impacted anyone with more power hitters is screwed.

If you are going to take away power do it across the board.

Tons of homers are still largely a by-product of shoddy pitching. We've never had a 70 homer guy in Cooperstown.
