Retired vs Delete Player options

Ozymandius · 06-25-2012, 07:18 PM

Hi again. Thanks to everyone for being so helpful while I try to struggle through getting a league set up. General overview. Starting in 1946, historic players based on 1 yr imported stats. Players have to have min 50 AB or 30 IP to be eligible to play in the league that year. It takes a lot of time to manually go through and filter these players out but I am willing to do it.

This is where I have a question. For the first year I don't think it will matter if I choose delete player or retired player, since I am assuming the player will come back in 1947 with either option, however, for later years I am concerned. Say a player meets the above qualifications for 1946, does not for 1947 and then does for 1948. When 1947 comes around and this player does not meet qualifications, should I retire him and then unretire him in 1948 in order to keep his career stats in place for this league, or if I delete him, will he re-import in 1948 and the stats get added to his career total?

Thanks in advance,
New commish

I've never played in this manner, so I'm talking through my baseball cap as it were, but I will opine this: Deleting is abrupt and final. Then when you re-import the guy, can't you just see statistics someplace getting gafarbled up? If not his own, then the team's or league's? I would retire and unretire instead.
