Heights and Weights

McBruce · 03-25-2020, 05:41 AM

There seem to be several players in my fictional league who have been measured by someone who has no idea what he's doing. I picked up a prospect in the Rule 5 draft who claims to be 2'7" and 515lbs! His running speed rating is minimum but his stealing bases rating is maximal! Perhaps nobody suspects he will even try to steal a base, and when he does they are too busy laughing to throw him out.

I think that the player is one of Eddie Gaedel's grandchildren and probably has a couple of replacement joints or maybe a replaced arm bone made out of Osmium. Ya gotta think logically about these things.

Can you post the league files for us to check? Thanks!

That's the second midget wrecking ball I've seen posts about this morning. It's nice to have a chuckle

Happy to do so, but I need more detailed instructions on the process.

Thanks. All done. A few more things noticed: some of my veterans have service times that indicate they have been playing major league ball since they were five. I tried watching a spring training game to see if how the 3-D animation would display the 525 lb midget, but (un?)luckily the heights and weights do not appear to affect the 3-D fun.

Thanks for uploading your league, we'll take a look at it. What's the name of the file you uploaded?

EDIT:

Just saw your support ticket with this info. So never mind replying here. Thanks for your help!
