Has anyone made a roster of All equal players?

I was thinking this would be very good for testing settings, and also fun to see how your strategies work against all equal opponents.

Just for tracking sense I would name each player with a first name initial that matches their team name.

Example
ss A. Smith
2b A. Walton
1b A. Pierce

would all play for the Allentown Alleycats

SP B. Thatcher
CL B. Welsh
1b B. Hanson

would all play for the Boyertown Birds, etc.

This way you could easily see, glancing at the league leaders, which team (and which team's strategies) were creating the leaders.

Using the last names to identify each player's team would clutter up things, i think

I have seen a couple of people talk about doing test like this so I am sure that some have done it. Don't know if they kept them or not.

I dont think this would result in giving you what strategies work the best since your strategies should be aimed towards your strengths/away from weaknesses. Of course team A with all average contact and avoiding K ratings would do better with a hit and run strategy than compared to team B with lower ratings in those areas, but maybe team B has outrageous power that makes up for their lack in other areas thus creating more runs than team A.

Maybe I should have said it differently. I think a roster set like this would provide valuable information on what a tweak might do to your results, like setting your team strategy to run and hit, when all other teams are using hit and run.

OR
the roster would be a good starting point to test something like what you are talking about.

OR
have all teams with equal, but different players. One slugger, one basestealer, one contact guy.

Basically it would be a good start to any test you wanted to do. It would provide you the proper "all else being equal" environment, so that the only variables would be what you changed yourself, because you are testing it.
