Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted March 22, 2005 Dawson was also a CF, in the early years of his career Either way, I'll need either a LF or CF since I'll have a gap to fill in the OF.

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted March 22, 2005 I thik Round 15 we start doing 2 at a time, then after Round 20, 3 at a time (or that would make sense I guess) and at least 10 pitchers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2005 This is how the ABERDEEN IRONBIRDS~! roster is shaping up: C- Elston Howard 1B- Todd Helton 2B- Bobby Grich SS- Cal Ripken Jr. 3B- Robin Ventura LF- Frank Robinson CF- Lou Brock RF- George H. Ruth SP- Jim Palmer SP- Bert Blyleven SP- Mike Mussina SP- Carl Hubbell CL- Trevor Hoffman I'll probably get another starter... unless I can use Ruth there every fifth day, since he was a pretty fine pitcher in his day. But figuring I can't, I want another starter, and then it's on to the bullpen and the bench. And first place, bichets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2005 I switched over to an era-adjusted database, so players' abilities will be more fairly rated. As for Dihigo, he will mostly take the form of an outfielder/pitcher. Think Babe Ruth 1919 with less power. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted March 22, 2005 Hey Al, how are we going to deal with converting starting pitchers to long relievers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2005 Hey Al, how are we going to deal with converting starting pitchers to long relievers? That's no problem. OOTP's setup screen has slots for up to five starters, a spot starter/long reliever, a mop-up man, two set up men, a closer, and the rest of your 'pen. I just tell the program to place the pitcher in the bullpen, and it is set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2005 I play OOTP6, and I'm wondering how specific you'll let us get with our coaching? I'll probably want to adjust the individual hit&run and base stealing and things of that nature, but I realize that with 20 teams you've already got your hands full. I'll definitely be interested in the exported file once everything is in place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll definitely be interested in the exported file once everything is in place. I think I can export your roster so you can do all the customization if you wish. If anyone has specific requests on what they'd like to adjust, I will take care of that. Not at the moment, but I will bring that up later on before I start the sim.

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2005 Are we having another Aim chat, next week? Can we do things like double switches? A question about Harry Heilmann. He was mostly a OF, and probably his best year 1928, he only played 12 games at 1st. Is that enough games, or do you have to use a season he played 1st base more?

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2005 Are we having another Aim chat, next week? I imagine so. We've had enormous success with them thus far. I'll get back to you guys with a date. Can we do things like double switches? The sim will handle direct managerial manuevers, and it does support double switches. A question about Harry Heilmann. He was mostly a OF, and probably his best year 1928, he only played 12 games at 1st. Is that enough games, or do you have to use a season he played 1st base more? I inputed Heilmann, and he is eligible at first base. Realistically, you can use any player at any defensive position, as long as you can handle the hit in defense.

Also, I want to use Oriole Park at Camden Yards as my home stadium. If anything, if Ruth's in the rotation, on the days he doesn't pitch and plays right field, he should at least have trouble hitting the cut-off man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
