For instance, my top pitcher is having a terrible year. Although still young, I have to start thinking that he may be declining and now would be a good time to trade him. If I checked his ratings, I have no doubt they would still be high (my scout still praises him), but I can only go by his current numbers and whether my gut instinct tells me to give him more time. That's why Wolf says you really feel like a general manager with just stats.

Right! Exactly! You have to think and make decisions like a real GM.

According to OOTP itself, OOTP MLB play (modern and historical) outnumbers OOTP fictional play three to one.
Five thousand thanks for a non-modder? I never thought I'd see the day. Thank you for your support.
