Its a lot more fun to rebuild a team in bad shape, then try and preserve one that is in good shape Updated Monday, December 26 2016 @ 9:52:59 am PST

Just keep putting in waivers for young guys who look to be improvements in the future. Slowly over time your team will keep getting better and better.

I've had guys who hit .220/.260/.400 before the break and then end the season at .270/.320/.480. You'll hear this time and time again but "sample size". Don't be fooled with it. You can never get an accurate assessment of a player based on a small number of appearances. For every great hitter, you can find a period of time he went 1-20 and for every lousy one, you can find a 3-4 game. That doesn't really show who they are.

Just moved to LL5, and my team is stinking it up, but fun still. Love rebuilds. Definitely be patient with young players, but also something that hasn't been mentioned, I don't think: be sure to also keep an eye out for a few key indicators even with youth. Are they simply not stealing bases despite a ++ Steal Selection and high Speed? Is the GB/FB for a hitter abysmally low over a period of time? Is a pitcher's GB/FB abysmally high over a period of time? Definitely be patient, but also look at some key indicators over time. Updated Tuesday, December 27 2016 @ 11:42:11 am PST

Maybe you meant high velocity pitchers, who could be more affected by low gb/fb rates? Or I am simply missing something

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9592 Haverhill Halflings III.1	Yes, by Fastball I mean a guy with high velocity. To me they mean the same thing. A guy with high velocity is a fastball pitcher. Most of the pitchers in the game have a Fastball in their repertoire. The repertoire doesn't really mean anything to the best of my knowledge, so I pretty much ignore it, and forget about the pitches in there. Sorry for any confusion.
