L.Hayes/R.Hayes/Barfield

By
I know I posted my big post, but I just wanted to put these guys next to each other.



 G AB R H 2B 3B
Louie 2174 7689 1441 2163 358 93
Rudy 2339 8459 1477 2424 408 37
Mel 1942 8096 1571 2531 572 71




HR RBI BB SO SB CS
Louie 490 1336 639 1287 470 81
Rudy 429 1477 1331 1292 227 73
Mel 305 1226 711 1043 512 149




AVG OBP SLG OPS
Louie 0.281 0.339 0.543 0.882
Rudy 0.287 0.386 0.496 0.882
Mel 0.313 0.371 0.514 0.885


You don't need me to realize these 3 guys are almost identical overall. Rudy has the longevity edge, Louie and Mel have more speed. What one lacks in power he makes up in OBP.  For me, offensively this is more or less a wash. So we look further.

All 3 were 2B's for the vast majority of their careers. As 2B's:

Louie 80 E, 83+, 3-, .984 F%, 4.88 RF
Rudy 111 E, 16+ 46-, .983 F%, 5.06 RF
Mel 169 E, 21+ 38-, .981 F%, 5.90 RF

Louie sticks out a lot here, with his 83-3 +/-. His RF is significantly lower than Barfield, but range factor is such a weird stat, and is heavily affected by the rest of your team. +/- is an individual stat. If I had to choose between those guys, it would be pretty clearly Louie, Mel, Rudy.

Now to consider awards:

Louie 9 AS, 1 GG, 4 SS, 2 MVP
Rudy 5 AS, 1 GG, 5 SS, 2 MVP
Mel 7 AS, 1 GG, 4 SS

Putting those all together, hopefully I've explained why, for me, the order is Louie, Rudy, Mel.

HBD Ballpark Factors

By
Ballpark effects are ranked on a scale from - 4 to + 4, based on their impact on hits (1B), doubles (2B), triples (3B), home runs to left field (HR LF) and home runs to right field (HR RF). The more negative or positive number, the more extreme the effect for that hit in that direction. These numbers are just indicators of the relative effect in the simulation engine. They are important for users and founded entirely on historical fact, but are meant for display purposes and not explicitly used in the simulation engine. City/State Ballpark Capacity 1B 2B 3B LF RF PF Division  Albuquerque (New Mexico) Isotopes Park 11,124 4 4 4 1 0 1.211 West  Anaheim (California) Angel Stadium 45,050 0 -2 -2 0 0 0.951 West  Atlanta (Georgia) Turner Field 50,062 -1 -1 0 1 1 0.950 South, East ...

International Signing Report Card

By
Roughly 20% into the season, we've already seen 24 international players sign on, with 5 of them landing bonuses north of $10 million. From time to time here we'll assess the respective value of these signings by assigning letter grades that consider the following: player projections, likelihood of reaching and performing at the big league level, age, size of investment, etc. You get the idea. (Keep in mind, this is all based upon my 14M advance scouting reports. Someone with $20m sunk into advance scouting[Las Vegas Jackson, etc], or $5[Fargo], for that matter, would see the prospects as worth more or less. We're probably close to the league average here.) SP Odalis Leon , Cleveland Spiders. $22m bonus. -While we only see his overall projection as 75, Leon offers the potential for excellent control, splits, and a superlative four-seam fastball that all equal a potential #1 ace. However, there is reason for concern: his secondary pitches are mediocre and need work beyond th...
