Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2005 I don't think you can have it sim him as an OF who pitches every 5th day. You can go in and change his position to P and make him eligible for the rotation when you want him to pitch, but it has to be done manually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Brian Report post Posted March 24, 2005 Al, say when I use Tony Gwynn I decide I want his 1994 numbers. Will the sim play it out as a percentage, like how many games out of the total he played, or will it cap it at what he played? Because I'm going to assume the sim put a cap if a partial season is entered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2005 Al, what about using Ruth in my rotation, in addition to the everyday lineup? Would the sim have him become tired and shitty? Also, I want to use Oriole Park at Camden Yards as my home stadium. The database does not account for Ruth as a pitcher at all. Now, should I adjust Ruth as a pitcher? I do not believe so. Ruth lived a duel role as a batter and pitcher for two seasons, in 1918-19. His strikeout rate plummeted. The Yankees did not see fit to use Ruth in that role, and I see no reason to think Ruth could succeed in that manner. So I am inclined to use Ruth solely as a hitter.

He pitched and played in the outfield for a good deal of time, if I remember correctly. Does the DB have any adjustments for him? There is no database information for Rogan, or any of the Negro League players. I think for all of those players, I am going to classify them as one or the other. The Negro Leagues of their time were about as organized as the American Association of the 1880s. They were not as organized as the white leagues of the time, which is why players could excel on both sides of the diamond. I doubt any of these players could star at both ends, had they played in the Majors. I am sure they could hold their own, but in such an advanced league, they would be no more than Brooks Kieschnick is today. It just plays havoc on the system, and I do not think it is worth the effort. Anything I do on the negro leagues is a judgement call (which is why I am not allowed to draft them myself), and I don't want my decisions on the league to decide who wins.
