is this normal

June 10, 2004 at 07:08PM View BBCode

In my last ten games both my opponents and myself have converted 8 of 20 improvement chances (40%) - I have at or near 15 players in the minors at all times with a 4-4-4-3 CP alignment (I just can't do three players at 5) and I assume many of my opponents do the whole 15/5 bit so is 40% good, bad or normal? I am about 36% for the year and ABE keeps picking the guys with no CPS so I haven't had much grade improvent at all and it seems like no one in the league gets many improvements in the games I play.

By contrast my other team, which also uses a 4-4-4-3 and is also in a second year League, has a nearly 70% conversion rate and has had players go up in 11 different grades in 74 games and my opponents do well too. So whats the real story on what's expected? :puzzled:

Not sure really. My understanding is that players 20 and under all have the same chance of success given the same letter grade, but that as the grade gets higher, the chance of a successful improve goes down, same with every year older than 20. Also pitchers have a much lower chance of having a successful improve. Very clearly my worse prospect improves at the best rate, and my pitcher improves at the worse rate. I would think around 50/50 would be about right (although I am not bothering to really do any math).

my 2 cents at any rate

Rollman's right about the improvements in the minor leagues. I believe your success rate is good, it's far better than mine. It's due to the make up of your minor league. They are young and you're just lucky in hitting areas they have room to improve.
