I ran four different sims of the 1982 season. This time I turned injuries off and trades off (in addition to everything else I turned off previously). I only focused on four players this time: Haas, Vuckovich, Yount, and Thomas. Ratings after import were almost identical each time, so that's good. I'll post a representative sample of ratings for each player.
MOOSE HAAS
4-1/2 Stars
69 Stuff
144 Movement

Sim 4: 275, 21-8, 2.68, .230
COMMENT: Good consistency! His "resulting stats" (ERA and OAVG) do not look like his simmed stats, though. Why is that? Does anyone know?

COMMENT: BA looks OK except for Sim 3. Power numbers lower than expected for the most part. (Same thing happened in my previous "experiment".)
I'm rather pleased with the consistency from one sim to the next. I didn't expect that. I wonder, however, if the Lahman DB import works right for pitchers. I'd welcome any thoughts on that subject. RonCo?
