After my team collapsed in August and threw away any chance of making the playoffs...
...they finished the season 2nd in Runs Scored (815), Batting Avg (.283), On-Base PCT (.345), 1st in Stolen Bases (206), and 5th in Base Running (+25.5). They still sucked though in ERA (4.45, 4.08), Defensive Eff. (.672), and Zone Rating (-1.5).
As a quick aside, for the Strikeouts rating, is that the number for or against me? If it's the former, then I guess the bigger the number the better?
So I've invested as best I can–the AH has been a bit hit 'n miss lately–especially in pitching, and this is the lineup I'll be putting into the upcoming season...
Pitchers
Catchers
Infield
Outfield
Note: I use the 20-80 ratings scale
I've set each player's individual baserunning and stealing aggressiveness, and I'm platooning LaValliere and Roseboro, as the former's baserunning and stealing attributes are awful. Appreciate this would be better if one of them were a righty, but I gotta work with what I have. Same goes for Rizzuto and Groat at SS.
Hoping these chaps can hold their own as I'm away on vacation until Friday and won't have any access to PT to check on their progress.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
