My focus was on a way to convert the current players and format over to what you've suggested, but I do understand your point. My suggestion was made just to point out that the data could flow both ways and you could get the same results - an excellent aspect of what you proposed.

Gents,
Correct me if I'm wrong but essentially the formula used is the DIPS engine and the play is still concluded BEFORE the PbP is chosen....
The reason I wrote about the slider bar isnt to change the DIPS engine, its to change the out formula based on the pitcher's vs. batter strengths. While not a pitch by pitch game, these changes seem to be the most likely affected by the manager during the game ( pitch counts, batting substitutions etc.)
I am intrigued by the stats posted by Dan - I agree with the LH vs. RH ratings but I was under the impression those are already "hidden" values used by Markus to determine the play... I agree that something needs to be added, what I'm not sure is - do each of us agree enough to get Markus/Steve to make a general change that MOST could live with in V.7????
