Whatever...fine

Power pitching and HR power is not everything baseball is about...
The game should not take a player Avg in BA, good in HR with E range at SS over a guy with good in BA poor in HR with A range at SS.

You think that's what baseball is all about that's fine, for me I find it illogical

Same with a P with 8 velocity and 8 in K's but 6 in BA and 6 in walks put ahead of a pitcher with 5 in velocity 3 in K's but 7 in BA and 7 in walks.

I have seen it too many times.

You think I am throwing out exceptions...do this

Start a league in 1901...then fill minors with fictional players...tell me next year how many 'real' players are starting....10%...maybe

You guys are taking the stance on what baseball has turned into...but where does that leave us that like to recreate 1871 to the 1960's? and no just because 12 guys were BIG HR hitters during that time, doesn't mean after 1920...baseball became a big power game...you still had IF's batting with little or no HRs...but with Lahman's and OOTP those guys have little chance to see a decent career. Same with the pitchers who didn't strikeout a decent amount during their career.

My point is that if things like poise will help historical sims, then I am for it. Whether you think it was idiotic to have a 3 man staff, and older players or not...that was the norm. OOTP already has so much based mainly on modern day baseball, yet it is still the best option to recreate the past.

I still think you guys are overemphasizing what Poise will be...clutch and consistency rating hasn't seem to hurt version 5
