| Kind of curious how the skill index works. I have a 35 year old pitching that I've used in every possible spot in my bullpen and as helped me a lot, throwing over 100 innings with an era in the 3's, despite having a skill index in the mid 70s. Did I simply luck out or is this a regular occurrence. Being in a rebuilding team, these are the perfect bullpen arms I need with my starting rotation stockpiled with young talent. | ||

| Skill index is really simple -- its just a rough metric of overall skill. For a position player, its the sum of all the hitting and defensive skills. For a pitcher, its the sum of all the pitching skills with the defensive skills weighted less. Some skills maybe more important than others -- especially at certain positions. So SI isn't always a go indicator of how well a player or pitcher will perform. Steve |

| Also some leagues are stronger than others. Some leagues in division VI may allow worse pitchers to do fine than at higher levels. | ||

| I was thinking about SI's. It would be nice if the skill indices were rounded up evenly. For example, a player with a 89 skill index to be at 90. | ||

| I don't see the upside to rounding SI's. It would defeat the purpose a bit wouldn't it? | ||

| Everything is rounded up to whole numbers already. What's the point of rounding to the nearest 10? Steve |

| Some players after their done training, their numbers are not near a 5 or 10. Example:http://brokenbat.org/player/59342 |

| Not following what you mean by near 5 or 10? Are you taking about this players skill index? Steve |
