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 ...

Recent HBD Update

By
The March 6 update to the HBD engine features some important developments we should all be aware of. mnnorthstars mentioned one of these in the chat page: Spring Training playing time now has increased importance. Specifically, those with adequate playing time could get a friendlier boost in ratings, and big league players who don't get enough playing time can take a hit in their ratings. This latter element is the key thing here to note. As far as what equals adequate( or as tzentmeyer called it "enough") playing time, we don't know yet. Since this update is so recent, there have yet to be any studies in the forum. Before the update, I tried to get as many players as possible 40 at bats and 15-20 innings for starting pitchers to capture the Spring ratings boost. Perhaps when ST is over some of us can report back here with the varying results of playing time. The other update to the engine involes rookies and big league service time. Previously, you could call up rook...
