Stat of the day

[BradZ]

I'd like it better if it was calculated on the drop in wins as opposed to position standings.

I don't know how to copy the screen and get it to come up formatted but I think today's is pretty interesting.

Poor Matt Hannigan. That guy was an absolute stud, had two great seasons before having his career ended at the age of 24 by a torn back muscle.

[Carlos]

Thing about double plays is that players can only hit into them if they have runners on base in front of them. And it just so happens that guys will hit with runners on base when they are also in the 3rd or 4th slot in the lineup.

Look at that list. Is there really a player on that list you wouldn't want on your team?

[Pat]

Or maybe they hit behind a guy who is really slow?

A lot of these guys have just over 10 stolen bases. It probably shows that the average speeded player hits into 15+ double plays a year, but not everyone in the BLB can steal 10+ bases.

[Delandis]

Thank you sir. I see now. Fast guys who still hit into DP, despite their speed.

[Jim]

I think it shows they have some speed since they have more than 10 SBs but still hit into a lot of DPs. So it probably just means they hit a lot of DP balls.

The 2 that really stands out to me is Chewning & Robbins. They had 29 & 26 SBs each so they're fast but they still hit into 19 & 17 DPs. Not sure how many the average player hits into but that seems like a lot to have that much speed.

[Delandis]

Can anyone explain the relevance of this stat?

Too bad Campo couldn't have squeezed out 1 more run to hit an even 1,000 Runs with Wilmington.

If he doesn't lowers his contract demands he wont be squeezing out 1 more run anywhere.

Thanks for the story Carlos.

It's cool that OOTP has players decline this much. I'm worried that Ivan Arellano will be one of these cases.

I have sympathy for poor old Jose Varada. I guess we don't have any Ricky Henderson rule where players can come out of retirement and attempt a comeback. Too bad because Varada could have a place in my minor league system.

OOTP had something in place where a guy could come back from retirement, but I think it was removed when OOTP went to the new interface in 2007. Not sure about that one. I had it happen to me once in OOTP 4.

Bernie Williams retired and then came back a year later and played two more seasons for my Yankees. It was cool.
