Recently retired players list seems too short

jarmenia · 01-11-2015, 04:09 PM

Its December 31st in my league and my recently retired players list only has 5 players on it. This seems really short to me. This is about the same size as for other years as well. I'm worried I may be missing players that played in the majors but retired in the minors when I do my hall of fame review. Should I be concerned?

Yeah, the recently retired list seems borked to me, too. I have to trawl through the full retired players list to make sure i'm not missing any notables.

How large is your league? How many players total?

What would be considered a normal figure for the amount of retirements each year?

I don't think 5 players retiring this year was too few or too many.

Recently Retired Tab = Players who retired that year.

Retired Players Tab = All retired Players.

I've never checked, what's the avg # of players that retire per year in MLB?

The problem is that the list only includes players who retire straight out of the league. Players who sat out a year or who played in an indie / international league don't show up.
