Neutralized stats?

Kemp · 09-28-2009, 04:06 PM

Does anyone know the numbers used for the neutralized stats db? I'd like to start a historic league in a particular year and I'd like to normalize the career stats of players to the base level stats I'm going to use for my league.

Thanks.

750 runs per team is the base.

This base actually makes no difference in what you are setting up as all players are already neutral compared to each other. Simply set your game options to create a league where 1000 runs or whatever number you desire is the team norm and all the players will advance or retreat to that level in unison.

Well, what I'm trying to do is a bit different. I want to normalize the stats that get imported along with the historic player.

For example, I plan on starting in 1980. Let's say that the average player in my league will hit 10 homers per 500 ab's. I'd like to take the neutralized stats for the active players and reduce them to 10 homers per 500 ab's so that they don't dominate the leaderboards.

Going forward, I'll rely on league totals to manage the home run totals of the neutralized players being imported.

Make sense?

Not to me but then it don't need to. As long as you know what you want go for it.

Here's an example. Say I want to have a deadball league where the league leader in homers will hit around 10 but I want to start with 1980's rosters. If I import players with 80's-type stats, then they will dominate the leaderboards because of the seasons they may have put up in the 1970's.

I'd like to keep that history but adjust it a bit. If I knew the base number of homers for the neutralized stats, I could multiply by some factor and reduce the career stats accordingly. In this case I could import Reggie Jackson (for example) with adjusted stats (maybe his 47 homers in 1969 turn into 12 in my league) and things look a little better on the leaderboards and they're not dominated by the original imported players.

Ahh, now I understand.

There is no base setting for individual stats. Only runs are adjusted and everything else follows that. Each year will be different. In one era it might take 100 HR's to get 750 runs, in another it could be 200. The runs are the thing not the individual stats that create the runs.
