Comparing Teams, Players Across Time

venusbaseball · 03-26-2006, 03:43 PM

I would like to create some leagues that include players and teams from different eras.

What are some of the different ways in which you can "level" the playing field for those players and teams from, say, the Deadball Era versus Modern Baseball?

Does anyone have formulas or ideas has to how to make adjustments so that you can mix and match players and teams from the different eras?

Here's what i've done:

Download the Ankit Normalized Database from this page.

I would also set it to the Golden Age, then decide what you want your league totals to be (eg: .260 Avg, ~180 HR per team, etc...). Import 1901 and set it to Replay with no trades so you can test out various league totals. Keep resetting the league until you get desired results, then go on with those totals and only adjust them if your totals get out of whack.

You can then delete all the teams and import whatever you want from the same database.

I forgot all about Ankit. Is the database through the end of 2005??

no, that one goes to '03, I think....but you can use multiple databases, since you don't need to normalize modern teams.
