on the defensive end, if they made more logical qualifications regarding defensive abilities instead of experience, it might shift the infield around more... it can shift that 2b over, but the current logic doesn't account for that outcome, yet or rarely would occur.

it gets pretty complicated.. tossing bandaids on it can have the opposite effect and make it a tangled mess...

re-write it broken down to incremental logic...

I think the team building and planning related decisions could use a re-work. maybe there's already a well-thought out framework capable of expanding.. if not.. work on one that is, even if conceptually for a couple years when bored.

if it is a bunch of bandaids piling after 20+ years, doubley so.

without knowing a general sense of how it works now, impossible to give constructive crticism. can only hope a gist of an idea sparks something. a gist of the loops of incremental choices, available metrics to use as qualifications within that logic etc etc..

i think you'd have to create an outline... revise it.. revise it some more.. then once happy with an overall process, add all those layers to the onion... a framework that is built to be augmented in endless ways based on individual incremental decisions/choices, even if not coded yet. An more complete framework would save a ton of effort anytime it is re-assessed or augmented. all mapped out previously, even if a funciton isn't written out, yet.

The decisions and how you go about handling them won't change often... may need to add a variable here and there.

love this stuff, but without organization and a little insight, just running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

no matter how perfect it can be, someone will always feel something is off... often times due to code, but i'd love to see the actual ratio of when it is something perfectly normal and even has happened in the MLB, just not the few years someone has watched. Bet you can find something i've written that fits that bill... i try to be aware of such things, but just human nature to fall prey to it.
