– Apparently they used scouting reports for Hanley’s defense back from 2007. Interestingly enough, the team moved Chris Coghlan down to second base and actually played Bonifacio in left for 20 or so games, perhaps running a field test in preparation for the following year. Instead, somehow the Marlins squeezed 300+ PA for Emilio Bonifacio (.323 wOBA, 0.4 WAR) and minor league outfielders Scott Cousins and Jai Miller. Uggla suffered no injuries but was not given an opportunity to play.
– Dan Uggla was no stranger to this odd treatment. These moves made little sense given the fact that they also sent Clay Hensley out there for 162 innings. Nate Robertson also pitched only 76 innings while also splitting time in Triple-A New Orleans. Midway through the season (or perhaps early in the year), Chris Volstad was sent to the minors, where he pitched over 100 innings there. – The manager running these Marlins made some weird choices. We’ll see how some of the other sims work out. I don’t now how that turned out given the presence of the pitcher hitting, but it happened. – The National League was actually a really high run-scoring environment, on the order of 4.74 runs per game. The team actually scored 876 runs (a bit better) and allowed 748 (a good deal better). 543, good for an 88-74 record that was three games worse than what they actually got. – Overall, the team projected to score 863 runs and allow 787 runs (53 runs worse than average on defense, by the way), giving them a Pythagenpat winning percentage of. I went ahead and ran some numbers to calculate WAR for the Marlins’ players. The Marlins winning 91 games seemed pretty surprising to me. Both teams entered that game 80-82, meaning the Central was won by a team under. – The AL Central came down to a play-in game, and the Chicago White Sox took it over the Cleveland Indians. Tampa won the wild card, while the New York Yankees took the AL East. – The Baltimore Orioles actually were well ahead of both the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays early in the season before falling back to. – The Houston Astros won 84 games and ended second in the NL Central.
500, while the Dodgers lost the most games in NL. – The two favorites for the NL West crown, the Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Dodgers, ended fourth and fifth in the division. – Four teams won 90+ games in the NL East, while the Washington Nationals won just 67. Here are some interesting thoughts on the standings: That’s a pretty interesting NL East final standings table.
I’ll be forming a couple different leagues, in particular a normal league with a universal DH. I’ve yet to explore many of the options available in the game, but it seems like a blast. This is something I’ve seen in other baseball sims, but it does not seem to available to me as of yet. I’m still a bit disappointed that there does not seem to be a way to import large amounts of data from the sortable stats into spreadsheet format. You can even export stats, even in CSV or as a SQL dump, so you can play around with the raw data on its own. I’m not sure whether this is like the Revised Zone Rating used by The Hardball Times before they dropped their statistics or if this is closer to Ultimate Zone Rating (UZR), but any defensive statistic in runs is better than no statistic. The game similarly introduced other cool statistics such as FIP and Zone Rating (in terms of runs). Imagine my surprise when I looked at the statistics leaderboards for both leagues and saw, on the fifth box to the right, wOBA ranked in order. Among my favorites were the inclusion of significantly better statistics of the advanced kind. I can say so just based on the brand new things that are being offered. What follows are the interested results of the first OOTP Simulated Season attempt! Nevertheless, I wanted to see how the results of 2010 would pan out and how the Marlins would fare in the simulated year. I wanted to do this multiple times in order to get a decent average number of wins, but unfortunately I’ve yet to find that sort of capability on OOTP. As part of a promotion, I received a copy of OOTP 11 to preview, and they asked me to run a simulated season and record the results.
