Rookie Of The Year

RJB7777777 · 03-04-2006, 07:59 AM

Quick question Guy's. We are at September 8th in the Sim, I want to call up a Guy from AAA, he's really going to be great, I think. This is my question, if I call him up now and play him the rest of the season. Will that wreck him for getting a chance at "Rookie of the Year" for next season??

I was just wondering how many games a kid can play before his status goes from Rookie to Veteran.

Thanks, Rick (RJB7777777)

I believe it is based on the number of plate appearances.

In the MLB, it is 130 at bats.

Quote:

Determining rookie status:
A player shall be considered a rookie unless, during a previous season or seasons, he has (a) exceeded 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the Major Leagues; or (b) accumulated more than 45 days on the active roster of a Major League club or clubs during the period of 25-player limit (excluding time in the military service and time on the disabled list).

Whether that's the case in OOTP or not is a question that hasn't been formally clarified. At least, I haven't come across a definite answer.

But if you're in the middle of a playoff race and you think he can help you, bring him up - ROY honors would take a back seat IMHO. But if not, then you might as well leave him down there until the start of next season.

Thank you Reds, I ran the Search and couldn't find anything either. Its for one of our GM's. He thinks he has a good chance to become "Rookie of the Year", and he looks good to me too. I just thought maybe someone knew for sure in OOTP.

Thanks, Rick

The current leading candidate for AL ROTY in our online league got 115 PAs last September. Last year's NL ROTY got 131 PAs the preceding September (but only 118 ABs).

I'd guess that OOTP uses the MLB rules.

Thanks for that info, genghisdunn. The key stat then is "at-bats", not "plate appearances" (I gotta keep remembering they're not interchangeable.

)

Strange that this topic is here. I'd come to post on this.

I'm playing a 162 game solo league with 16 teams. I'm in my second year so there are still bunches of qualified ROY candidates.

So the game gives the award to a 30 year old RP who was picked up on a minor league contract on 8/25, didn't pitch at all in the majors until 9/5, and ended the season with 14 appearances and 16 ip. His ERA was about 1.6 with 3 walks, 6 so, and about 11 hits.

Is there a way we can hard code how many ab or IP are required to win an award? I don't want next years MVP in my league to be a guy who played 3 games and got 5 hits and 2 hrs in 10 ab.
