UPDATE: July 3 2020

Cheat Sheet v1.2

The changes I've made are:

Removed Green Color from the middle column labeled Average.
Changed Font Color on some columns to White
Applied BOLD to all letters and numbers inside the chart

I think this updated Cheat Sheet looks better if you are going to print it out. The average and below-average column colors looked fine on screen and even printed by some printers. Many printers produced a page where the two columns were almost indistinguishable. If you don't print the Cheat Sheet, but rather leave it on screen in your web browser, I personally think the original Cheat Sheet looks a little better. But now, you all have a choice. Enjoy!

Here is the link to the original post where I began collecting information for the Cheat Sheet. I suggest reading through that because there is a wealth of information posted throughout the thread. CLICK ME

A while back, I knew I wasn't evaluating players properly, so I asked for help. I asked the veteran OOTP players to give me suggestions on only a couple of stats they personally considered to be top of the list when looking to trade a player, pick up an MLB free agent, promoting players in the minors... you get the deal. I didn't want every known statistic for my cheat sheet. My goal was to make a chart that I could quickly refer to when I was in one of the previously mentioned situations, analyzing a player.

The vast majority of data was obtained from Fangraphs.com or Baseball-Reference.com

Please, feel free to edit this cheat sheet to best suit your needs. That is precisely why I included the Excel file. Also, remember that this data is meant to show a range that can be interpreted differently... it's your GM job...evaluate how you see fit.

I hope this is useful for a few people. Finally, a big 'Thank You' to all of the members here (and Reddit) who gave me suggestions & advice.
