2009 sim results.

cnrd · 06-03-2009, 04:37 PM

Just got the game and thought it might be interesting to see how the pennant races panned out with the new 2009 rosters. Results:

The Mets had a nice 6.5 game lead in early September and actually didnt collapse this time. Must be the additions of Krod and Putz. Not surprisingly the Cubs and Aaron Heilman had a losing record. lol

The Mets faced the Yankees in the Series and the Yanks won in 7........

An interesting tidbit:

Trevor Hoffman retired on 8-28-09

I'll log this as a bug

Pretty decent results. Couple oddities like the Orioles finishing 2nd and Swisher leading in HRs, but nothing crazy. Thanks for posting!

Wow, there is a big difference between leagues in terms of leaders. Does that seem normal? NL HR leader at 55 and AL HR 38.

Cabrera led the al last year with 37 and howard had 48 in the NL....Seems about right.

Billy Butler taking AVG, OPS, and VORP titles is a bit odd.

jtnlange · 06-03-2009, 05:01 PM

Ok. if you say so.

Wasn't trying to knock anything, I guess I just never realized that there was that large a gap between the leagues in terms of statistical leaders.

Its because of the DH. The DH ruins everything

jtnlange · 06-03-2009, 05:11 PM

Amen to that!

ruggie23 · 06-03-2009, 05:13 PM

I disagree......the DH is great and should be implemented in the NL too!!!!!

Ugh. I tend to get more fired up about this issue than most political ones.

IRL Swisher is on pace to hit about 30 homers, so I wouldn't say it's that strange.

Kansas City - truly a 2 man operation there.

Im more alarmed by the SB difference.

jtnlange · 06-03-2009, 05:44 PM

Yes that one jumped out at me also. Must be the DH slows everyone down!

Every once in awhile Michael Bourn will have a year where he stays healthy and hits well enough to stay in the lineup to get an incredible amount of steals. I think that happened twice in my many sims during beta. Most of the time it is Reyes with closer to 60.

jtnlange · 06-03-2009, 05:55 PM

LOL!

That is good.

I am so chomping at the bit to get out of work and home to play.
Sucks having to work to support a family.
