Capra Hardball Dynasty League

  I made a little ERA+ calculator in order to take a deeper look at some of the great players from Capra. Of course, I can’t normalize for ballpark, so it’s quite imperfect, but by normalizing for league my eyes have been opened on some players. First, I did all the Hall of Famers: Name                                  ERA+                   Peak ERA+             (Season)          CYA’s Brett Tracy                         163                              194                         5                   10             Rick Christensen               151                               182                         20                 5 Trenidad Espinosa              140                               185                         12                  1             Kelly Grace                        139                               194                         17                  1 David Wanatabe                  139                                 251                     

  Here’s my take on this season’s HOF nominees. We got a few in last year to clear out the clutter. A couple more no-brainers this season! No Doubt Rick Christensen – I don’t need to say much. 312 W, a 3.14 ERA and 5 Cy Youngs. Slam dunk. Christian Grim – Would be first if Christensen didn’t retire at the same time! The “Grim Reaper” pitched more than anybody else has, with over 3900 IP, and won the 3 rd most games at 266. He finished his long career with a 3.46 ERA and won 3 Cy Youngs along the way. He was also dominant in the post season, going 20-7 with a 2.73 post-season ERA. A true HOFer. Kevin Myers – The sort of pitcher who only exists in HBD, and the first of this type to truly deserve the HOF. Averaged 140 relief IP per season during his peak, and had a career ERA of 2.62 over 1800 IP. Went to 6 All-Star teams, and would have gone to more had he been a closer, but he would have been less valuable. Double the innings and a way better ERA than Bowie,
