Hi,March 03, 2015 at 01:13AM View BBCode
Speed does not affect defense at all. This is a well known fact. Bonnie_Bare is somewhat new and assumed that it did. It doesn't.March 03, 2015 at 01:20AM View BBCode
+/- is a simple calc. If you see something in the box score that says "Great play by the whoever", that's a +. If you see something in the box score that says "double past a dude" or "single in front of a guy", that's a -.March 03, 2015 at 02:33AM View BBCode
The simple fact from the site Admins on multiple occasions is that speed is simply NOT A FACTOR used when making defensive calculations for the sim. Period.March 03, 2015 at 09:04PM View BBCode
I have also looks into this, while the OP is asking about speed in defense which has clearly been resolved, I've been tinkering in trial leagues with high speed and contact guys in a big stadium, now will this give an advantage? Think about it, most people have big power guys if they can't hit the long ball they won't be as effective. However, the team filled with .400 Obp hitters and 50 steals will actually benefit. This way you can use a Moneyball strategy and have cheap hitters and go out and get great pitching. Thoughts?March 04, 2015 at 01:13AM View BBCode
The team I'm thinking about has been historically bad for some years. I took over when no good player was under 30, so I sold whatever I could sell for picks and have hit the bottom for a few years. Since I had a numbe rof consecutive #1 overall picks I assembled a pretty impressive pitching staff (all still in the minors though) - if [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/depth.jsp?teamid=124615]that rotation[/url] can't earn a few championships, then what does it take? :-)March 04, 2015 at 02:13AM View BBCode

Basically I wonder what stadium dimensions would be best for a very good group of control pitchers, if your batting lineup is adequate, but not outstanding.

I would try and trade some pitching for a prospect (if there is one in your league) that can hit and play GG caliber middle infield defense.

Does speed factor into how quickly a player converts positions, in addition to range?March 06, 2015 at 12:39AM View BBCode

If so, then speed factors into defense:)

Hi,
I read somewhere about stadium construction - can't find it right now, but in essence some claimed that speed is relevant for defense, others claimed it isn't.

ya know...when you said you know of more than a few speed leagues where a couple of notably successful Dynasty league owners wouldn't be as good as at least half the owners in the league, and then when asked to name those leagues, you couldn't come up with a single one, because they don't exist, you'd made the whole thing up...that.

is it really too much to ask that you at least make an attempt to prove what you say is true? (not recommended)March 07, 2015 at 05:58PM View BBCode

alternatively, you could admit you were way off/made a mistake. (respectable).
or you could just behave yourself from now on...i won't bring it up if you dont ask for it.
