12 Seasons of Victories . . . Who's Winning? NL version

As we begin our 13th season, let's take a big picture look at what franchises have accumulated the most regular season victories. This list, of course, does not discriminate based upon a franchise's previous owners or anything else. Just a simple tally of what franchise has won the most games.

NL North
NY Yanks = 1,210 wins/100 avg
(formerly Fargo Woodchippers)
Minnesota North Stars = 1,023 wins/85 avg
Toronto Beavers = 964 wins/80 avg
Tacoma Typhoon = 900 wins/75 avg
(formerly NY Knights/Pitt Littlefield of Dreams/NY Manatees/CLB Buckeyes)

NL East
Tampa Bay Lightning Devils/Chicago Vipers/Atlanta Stonewallers = 974 wins/81avg
Syracuse Salt City Ballers = 899 wins/75 avg
(formerly Wichita Shockers/CIN Reds/Hartford Belly Whalers/Charlotte Webs)
(formerly KC Monarchs/Pawtucket Patriots)
Rochester Rough Riders/Dover Galaxy = 857 wins/71.5
Indianapolis Colt 45 = 753 wins/63 avg
(formerly Buffalo Hunters/Was Capitol Hill G-Men/Trenton Turnpikes)

NL South
Little Rock Travelers = 1,010 wins/84 avg
El Paso Diablos = 1,003 wins/83.5 avg
Florida SunRays = 982 wins/82 avg
KC Monarchs/HUN Redlegs = 914 wins/76avg
(formerly Richmond Confederates/Huntington Hatorade/San Juan Rumrunners)

NL West
Anaheim Anteaters/Portland Wheels = 1,104 wins/92 avg
St. Louis Archers = 1,057 wins/88avg
Seattle Picards = 897 wins/75 avg
(formerly Jacksonville Juggernauts/Fresno Force/Colorado Bombers/Boise Idaho Taters)
Vancouver Maintaneers = 888 wins/74 avg
(formerly LA Aquatics)

I'll let you analyze the data yourself. Maybe in a future thread we could do winning percentage by owner instead of franchise.

AL version coming soon.

Anaheim Anteaters Future Shock: Top 10 Prospects

1/ SP Hugh Palmer . Age 24. AAA. ETA: S10 Selected 13th in the 1st round of the S6 draft, Palmer dominated the lower minors and has averaged a 16-4/3.35 record in 3 minor league seasons. Palmer's big calling card has been the punchout as he's K'd 502 batters in 51o frames. His heater is in the mid-90s and still developing. Palmer comes with 2 good pitchers, the fastball and slider, but could use a better forkball and curveball to sharpen his repertoire. Palmer's about a season away from the bigs and projects to a solid #2 or #3 starter. 2/ SP Vasco Almonte . Age 22. AAA. ETA: S10 A former 1st round draft pick by Atlanta/Chicago, Almonte was traded to Anaheim for fellow prospect Tony Mendoza . Almonte has been consistent in the minors, if unspectacular, with a 4.15 era and 1.32 whip. However, Almonte is just 22 and has progressed quickly through the minors with a AAA season already in the books. If he continues to develop his fastball and change-up he can become a stalwa...

HBD Ballpark Factors

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

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...
