Poor Ty Cobb!

The hazards of playing a historical league!

Ty is 28 years old, and is solidy stuck behind several good outfielders. He has not progressed well, and has a total of 500 at bats at the major league level.

Kinda sad...but I will NOT trade players, just to free up a roster spot for him!

Teach him a new position

You could go the ironical route: turn Ty into a pitcher.

Nope, totally hands off league, from 1901 until 2005, then my new dynasty starts.

Running a historical myself.. He just hit the league in 1906 and was drafted by the St. Louis Browns, won rookie of the year and helped lead them to their first World Series Appearance.. though they lost to the Cubs in 5 games.

His rookie stats looked like this:

Year G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG OPS Teams
1906 142 519 191 40 8 2 66 98 71 2 2 12 57 20 .368 .444 .487 .932 SLA
Total 142 519 191 40 8 2 66 98 71 2 2 12 57 20 .368 .444 .487 .932

Will be interesting to watch him develop further in my game.. I used Ankit's Career avg db for this league though.. which one are you using?

Straight Lahman 5.1...I do some editing of the ratings, make things a little more consistent.

I look at all the incoming players, and make some adjustments. The players that are "0" for age kinda need to be looked at.

Cobb rarely does well with straight Lahman 5.1.
