[NoOne]

i'd agree with others that the manual may give a bonus to RP and reference this type of things a bit, but it does not exclude them from doing anythign how often a batter is faced...

that's not per pitcher (for the most part), that could be a uniform application in the equations used each time an AB is simulated.

although if i were a bettting man, i'd probably toss my money on the side i don't like... that it likely is NOT in the game as of now... and that if it were it would take some heavy lifting to re-balance things once that factor is added to the mess. totally worth it from my perspective... i think it's a major aspect to the game... especially when half the league is still ignoring it's weight (dogmatic thinking).... it's a real competitive advantage to be an early adopter of methods to combat this force.

the teams that adopted smarter methods of player evaluation in the face of incredulity certainly benefited from the rest of the league being veritably dumb. incredulity is not a logical argument against something! use real proof if you don't like the concepts layed out, lol. (general cry toward real MLB)

my tigers are some of the dumbest... slowest at adapting. it's rather painful to watch sometimes... even dumbrowski made some real bone-headed decisions.. i blame mike illitch meddling where he shouldn't though... his decisions are why teh team will be sc%wed for the next 5 years or more.
