Stayin' power - career stats

[stl jason]

with over 30 years of PT time now, anyone else have some long timers who have been in your starting lineup since opening day (or close to it) and racking up crazy career stats?

Just had my first batter to reach 5000 career hits.... Freddie Lindstrom has been my starting third baseman since before I was out of entry league; and with the exception of a few season where I was training up other players, has been a fixture in the starting lineup every day.... not bad for a guy I picked up for 4000 points

My bronze Rod Carew would've been close to 5000 hits had I not ditched him when I made the perfect level 5 seasons ago. He's sitting at 4230 on my reserve roster. He was also the last player I had from my initial starter pack pulls.

Congrats on Lindstrom's 5000!

This is the first season where Jim Kern hasn't been the closer for the Mustangs since I acquired him midway through 2022. He has 875 saves, though only 57 of them were at Perfect.

A couple other players have been active on my 3 teams for roughly similar amounts of time, but few have had that kind of consistency in one role. At any rate, none have any noteworthy stats, other than maybe CJ Wilson's 746 total decisions (405-341). He's still being rolled out there about 25 times a season as a 5th Starter in Perfect for the Mustangs, and the results aren't quite as bad as you'd probably expect from an 85 OVR lefty. They're not good, certainly, but they're a lot better than I've been expecting...

My JD has been around for 46 years. I get him on every team. He even won the Triple Crown once. He is about to lead his team to their second straight division win. Maybe this time they can get past the first round.

I have Carew on a couple of teams and he rocks. And with such a low overall rating. I remember a league leading .344 for him. He just can't field.

gotta love that a bronze card can still perform at high levels.... brought up some bronze cards at the perfect tier to train them up for possible tourney use, and they actually out performed some of my regular gold/diamond guys

875! Nice.... got Wilcy Moore as my closer, currently at 766 saves, with 346 of those at Perfect tier

1200+ home runs and 4000+ rbis! Holy cow... that's some killer production



Another member of Waffletown joins the 5000 hit club..... Cecil Travis joined the club on the last day of the season:

[Orcin]

Just two wins away from 500... he'll get them.

[HelpDodgers]

My Babe Ruth has 5000 strikeouts.

Best player has been Clarkson though I messed with his strat to get his wins up. He never ages.

[moalkha]

99 Ty Cobb has been with me since day one and has now more than 6000 hits.

[moalkha]

On the pitching side, perfect Pedro has been with the Squirrels since season 1 and he has now 613 wins.

[One Great Matrix]

Gooden (rook) & Koufax (peak) have 300+ wins. Rivera '08 exactly 400 saves.

[Argonaut]

It's too bad ZR is broken for third basemen, otherwise your Lindstrom would have a better career WAR. 5,000 hits is nice though!

My Rod Carew is nearing 5,000 hits if you count both his Bronze and Gold card that I upgraded him to. On another team my long-time LF/RF combo of Gold Bonds/Griffey have amassed 100+ WAR each and a lifetime OPS above .800.

I'm sure if some folks pulled end-game cards in the first week or two they would have crazy stats now.

Cody Live was the Starter Pack Gold for the Walleyes. He should reach 1000 HR next season while playing all home home game in the ultimate pitchers park (Ballpark Factors of .900/.500/.900) his entire career.

[Rayzor]

43 Yrs in PT he was a pull from a standard park.

Even though the team is basically left for dead. Habrosky still getting it done.
