So um after betting terrible at this the first go around, I've come back a few lyears later to give the game another go. I feel like, particularly when setting my lineup, I've gotten in over my head. I guess I didn't expect the numbers to be so, uh, all over the place. I'm not sure if a low number is bad/good for a posission/if I should move anyone around. I'd appretiate any resources asside from the manual to assist in making sense of this whole thing! Anyone have any advice or at least places I can go to read more and get a grasp on the overwhelming amount of players, numbers, posissions, and stats?

I'm sure the community will offer advice on who to play and where, but here is a link that you can use to set your best lineup, or at least give you a good start:

That thing gives some strange results haha. It decided that in almost every simulation Caudill should hit 6th!

I appreciate sharing the tool but I feel it is somewhat limited because it is only using OBP and SLG so it isn't taking into account things such as base running ability. It also isn't using a minimum number of at bats so you would have to build that in yourself if you wanted to use that. It is nice though to have a tool to see what it suggests.

When I seen this tool I decided I want to give it a try and see how it does. The prediction was 1.3 and 1.7 more runs using the line up it suggested. I guess we will see in the next couple of days as I test it out.

I had to move 7 people in each line up compared to what I had before.

Well 5 games in so far and I am 2-3. Not sure if that is working or if my team is just in a slump
