Evaluating Team Strength

The Calculate screen gives you a quick overview of how the system sees the best use of players. Each position is broken down by a minimum number of AB per side, numbers that are under your control. The same is true for pitchers. You control the minimum number of innings pitched by starters versus relievers. You define the average percentage of lefties that the team will encounter as well as how teams react to dominant righthanders, dominant reverse righthanders, left-handers and so on.

The Calculate screen breaks down your strength versus lefties and righties. Pitching is evaluated versus lefties and righties. And an overall score is given to your roster. In the example above you can see is that if Baltimore were limited to only 30 players, the system sees a shortfall of 253 AB and 187 IP. Of course you also control the minimum number of players that can be used in evaluating the team.
