For example, I have two players well in their 30s and close to retirement; having had half-a-dozen all star appearences with just three years experience. http://brokenbat.org/player/28575 http://brokenbat.org/player/28578 I would have thought this should reflect their 13 game years experience.

The later is reflected in the positions list. So, I'd say positional players don't have any advantage over DHs because of experience.

Unfortunately, we only started accumulating ‘experience years’ and ‘years with club’ a few seasons ago, so no player currently has more than 3 and 2 years respectively. Steve

Yes, a DH can fulfill his potential. He will not accrue any position experience though. So he will never develop as a fielder. Steve

The later is reflected in the positions list. So, I'd say positional players don't have any advantage over DHs because of experience. There are several types of experience. There is: 1. Experience years: a rough count of the amount of years in the big leagues. Displayed on the player page. 2. Experience Points: points accumulated mostly through big league experience (but also to a much lesser degree in the minor leagues) that is a component in player skill growth. This value is hidden. 3. Position Experience: experience accumulated playing specific position in the big leagues. Helps a player play that position defensively – but has no affect on offensive output. A rough assessment of these values are seen in the position list. Hope this helps, Steve
