Energy

I see why my reliever might have blown those saves the other day. I guess fatigue must be a cumulative thing. So a reliever at two yellow bars would be more tired than one with three if I'm understanding things correctly. I'm assuming that applies to position players too? That might explain some of my hitting woes at times. I have been leaving guys in until they reach red, then manually substituting for them.

It is my understanding that ABE automatically sits out position players when they reach "red" energy status and, if you have the "Backups vs. RHP and LHP" areas set, ABE uses your preference in substituting players.

For pitchers I think they have less endurance if they are not fully fit.

For batters, my understanding is that there is no fall off in performance when the yellow bars are reducing. It's just a warning that the player will need a game off when it goes down to red.For pitchers I think they have less endurance if they are not fully fit.

I know that ABE subs red players out automatically but I do it myself anyway just to be sure. I was mostly wondering if each segment of yellow lost meant a higher level of fatigue or not.

Rest & Tired Players
On the Roster Page, you will see color-coded status bars indicating how tired a player is.
[edit]
Starting Pitchers
Starting pitchers cannot start games more than once every 5 days. Starting pitchers will start games when they have 5 green energy bars. They will gain 1 energy bar for every day they don't pitch. It should be noted that if you don't have any pitchers that are fully rested, it is somewhat unpredictable who ABE will select to start the next game and it is recommended that you bring up a minor league pitcher to make a spot start to help get the rotation back in order. Pitchers with at least a C- Endurance Rating may be placed in the starting rotation.
[edit]
Relief Pitchers
Relief pitchers can pitch in the game as long as they have more than 1 energy bar. However, relievers with less than 5 energy bars will experience diminished skills for the next game. The more tired a relief pitcher is, the less effective he will be. The amount of energy a relief pitcher has depends on three factors: his Endurance rating, how many days out of the last 5 he has pitched in, and how many batters he has faced in those outings. You can see how much each pitcher has faced in the last 5 days by clicking on the energy bar for a relief pitcher.
[edit]
Position Players
Position players work a little differently. A player's health determines how many days in a row that he can play. A player with an A health rating will be able to play nearly the entire season without a game off. A player with an F health rating can only play about 4 games in a row without needing a game off. Note that players actually need to sit out a game to become rested - off days do not affect rest. When a player's Rest bar reaches one red bar, he will sit out the next game. If you do not make a substitution, ABE will make the substitution for you (he normally does a pretty decent job of this) and will base his decisions on your preferences in the backup menus.

I read that but it doesn't say whether different levels of fatigue affect position player performance or not so that's why I asked.

First off, a player's effectiveness is not affected by his energy. He will be as good a hitter with two yellow bars as he is with five green ones. The caveat for this is that when he reaches one red bar he will sit out the game meaning that he won't even be available to pinch hit.
