I always thought Gambos stadium spreadsheet was pretty solid - so I imported his numbers instead and got really good results. His numbers range mostly from .900 to 1.100 with a few exceptions (I think Joe Robbie, or whatever it's called these days, has a lower percentage for HR's and Avg... but it's still only about .800). Numbers in the .400's seem pretty extreme, though.

You did a really great job on the set as far as getting most of the transactions and contracts. It's definitely a playable 2007 Roster - thanks for the hard work!
I didn't do anything to the roster in terms of the stadiums. I will put on my list of updates to maybe include Gambos stadium spreadsheet. Not sure if i'm going to release an updated set. It will depend upon how darkclouds turns out and see how cubbys goes.
