I am creating a fictional pro/rel world that has the real mlb teams as the top of the pyramid and other fictional leagues below. I am seeing the current rosters though on the mlb teams. Can I somehow mass delete them all so they will repopulate over time? |

That's way over my head. I'm just a historical random debut guy. But this should bump the thread for ya.

After Sim-ing through 100 seasons (started in 1955 no expansion/1984 locked) batting average and ERA wise it looks good but what I would like to see is team batting/pitching stats for all time in the view you can see in season-every team listed with totals. Anybody know if there is a way to do that? I can't seem to find it. I purposely avoided looking at individual stats and players or else I would get too absorbed. I can go on baseball reference to look one thing up and before I know it 2 hours are gone.I just wanted to generate numbers so when I start for real I have some faith in my setup.

I think what you are looking for is on a tab on the stats page called something like Historical Simulation Accuracy.

Has any one played with the stolen base settings? I am really comfortable with where I am and will be starting my league. Far too many attempts and too many stolen bases. I have 7 players with over 1,000 SB and 14 players between 800-999 SB. I'd like to tweak that a bit. Attempts are at 3.033 and Success % at 1.019.
My top 100 hit leaders was high compared to actual but overall league wide team batting averages are where they should be so I don't want to mess with it. |

I have never messed with SB settings but would appreciate feedback on settings you find for your sim. Could you look up a season you want to emulate on baseball reference and determine settings from that year?

I actually do mess with SB settings, especially in the dead ball era, by making success rates more common (the game puts them at like 55% in this period) and accordingly making attempt rates less common. This isn't so much to control there being too many steals - the primary difference between then and now is that nowadays you have say a player or two on your team who steals a lot of bases whereas back then basically everyone in the lineup save the catcher and sometimes the first baseman and/or an OF or two stole like 10-20 apiece - as it is two other things:
1. There for some reason aren't enough runs scored during this time period. Markus and co. have done a pretty decent job of making the runs to earned run ratio look right on a season-to-season basis (I'm not sure if the game scores unearned runs correctly so I'll leave that to the people who play those games out more) but there's still an overall lack of runs scored. I *think* this is because players took extra bases on hits way more often than they do now but of course there's no real way to look at that when we don't have game logs available for those years. Upping steal success rate doesn't fix this but it does help lower the gap. 2. You also get this weird, perverse thing with a 55% steal success rate where your faster players actually have lower WAR than slower ones, all other things being equal. While this is first up not how the game was played - speed in those days led directly to more hits, more extra base hits, and even more homeruns (considering that a *lot* of HRs then were of the inside-the-park variety, plus with error rates so high back then there was a hidden thing where fast players could not only beat out hits but force errors on bobbled grounders that would still result in outs for slower guys) - it also gives you as a human player an extra advantage, as you know to stay away from high-speed guys. Probably a lot of those extra CSes came on hit and run plays anyway... This won't necessarily make guys have not-1000 steal careers but it will at least make speedsters super valuable during this era as they ought to be.
