Zero Gap Power?
I don't mean to complain too much because I really do like this game on the whole but it is infuriating me that probably 10-20 percent of the minor league players I start with have zero gap power.
One of my AAA OFs is an otherwise solid player, with 50 (I use the 20-80 scale) contact, HR power and eye but his gap power is LITERALLY as low as can be... 20. This is not just isolated to him, many other decent minor league soldiers and fringe prospects are marred by this flaw. It seems like it should have been easily correctable, some algorithm should've told the computer that if a hitter can hit homers and make contact he is going to hit a least a FEW doubles and triples. I can understand if a FEW that had HR power and contact skills lacked gap power. Late-30s Frank Thomas was such a player but a 28 year old OFer who is otherwise average should be programmed to hit at least a few doubles. |

What kind of production are you actually seeing result from those players? Are they hitting a few doubles and triples? Take about a dozen of those types of players and over a season, could you list their singles, doubles, triples, and HRs? Essentially, do you find this is limited only to the minors? You don't find any of this type of player in the major league setting you're using?
And it's not coming off as a complaint, it's a question. Let's see if we can find any answers to help evaluate it and see what it really entails.
