robusk - I'm working out a deal with someone else. carasone may be a part of it - if not I think this will be his breakout season. I'm putting him at Setup A with Elcano.

cheez - pitchers with high durability are awesome imo (I just realized this recently, after signing elcano) - they recover quicker and can get back on the mound more frequently. Thats why starters generally have 20s-30s Dur so they don't start back to back games at 100 fatigue. Hawkins 15 stam is garbage but his 80 something dur gets him out there 3-4 games in a row in some cases at 100%. something to consider... or not.

Wow, just... wow.

I wasn't questioning the usefulness of durability in relievers, that much is obvious. You cited his overall rating in a discussion of how well he actually pitches, I pointed out his overall rating is so high due to something that has nothing to do with with how well he pitches, just how much he can pitch.

yeah, that's my fault.  I was giving moy my old notes for how I used to draft pitchers.

damn you bret

That's some good ****, Moy.

Oh is that how the sim works.  I am glad you figured this all out in you 50th season.

Keep posting like this, Moy, and I'm going to start claiming Shtickless time as professional development.

Nice.

Can I send moy my helmet now?

Don't get carried away.

I'm just trying to make you all a bit dumber so I can win a WS sometime in the near future

Team defense should not be that difficult to figure out. It's something like (plus plays - (minus plays + errors)) + ((CS% - .250) * SBA). This makes the assumption that a .250 CS% is average. The problem with the formula, though, is that sometimes a play is scored as both a minus play and an error. Or my personal favorite, the +- play.

I will disagree that babypop that DPs mean anything in HBD. I have been unable to find a correlation between any defensive rating and DPs. DPs fluctuate wildly between seasons (much like BABIP for pitchers), even with the same infield and same pitching staff.

fine, I'll take his name off it!
