The question was already posed, "how do you want to handle late trades?"  I generally tend to lean towards late trades being reflected, even if it doesn't reflect an entire season worth of play...new arrivals to the team could move to the bench if needed...might improve some of the bench guys from last season, as most of them were pretty anemic in terms of power...

Perfect, thanks Kongo...any of these lineups will help me by saving me loads of time as well as serving the purpose of pleasing the fans of the teams.

I'd agree with you that late trades should be reflected (so you can do playoffs and whatnot)... but what do you think about season-ending injuries?  I'm particularly wondering how to handle Morneau - he was the best hitter in the league until the All-Star break and hasn't played since - do you put him on the Twins, reflecting his partial season, or leave him off?  If nothing else, I guess, you could put him on the bench to imagine what could have been.

Twins' Lineup with Morneau:
Span
Hudson
Mauer
Morneau
Kubel (DH)
Cuddyer
Young
Valencia
Hardy

Without Morneau, Kubel and Cuddyer move up one spot, and Thome slides into the DH role batting sixth (not sure if DHs are an option here or not).

Bench:
Punto
Butera (replace him with Thome if including Morneau)
Repko (replace him with the DH in a no-DH lineup)
Casilla

Pitchers:
Liriano
Pavano
Crain
Capps

Crain could be replaced by Fuentes if you want a lefty in the 'pen, although he hasn't been with the Twins very long.

angels: key problems are kendry morales's season ending injury at the end of may and acquiring dan haren late in the year.  though the two starting P's should probably be weaver and santana anyway. they also traded away their closer fuentes because he sucks, although rodney is not much better.  they had a million lineups this year.  at the beginning of the year they tried to have aybar lead off and gave brandon wood a chance at 3b. neither worked out in that role.  they eventually picked up callaspo to play third.  peter bourjos came up late in the year and they moved torii to RF.

DH

01 EAybar (SS)
02 Kendrk (2B)
03 BAbreu (RF)
04 Hunter (CF)
05 Matsui (DH)
06 Napoli (1B)
07 JRivra (LF)
08 Calspo (3B)
09 Mathis (C)

Bench:
B1 MIztrs (IF)
B2 Borjos (OF)
B3 Willts (OF)
B4 Wood (IF)

Pitching
SP1 JWeavr
SP2 ESntna
RP1 Rodney or Jepsen
RP2 Fuents or Rodney

I'm assuming you know who is a lefty and switch hitter.  Fuentes throws sidearm.

No DH:  (this lineup would reflect more how the year started)

01 EAybar (SS)
02 Kendrk (2B)
03 BAbreu (RF)
04 Hunter (CF)
05 KMrles (1B)
06 JRivra (LF)
07 Mathis (C) or Napoli for more power (flip-flop spot w/rivera)
08 Wood (3B)
09 pitcher

Fuentes may not have been much of a closer, but he has been a phenomenal (and extremely overpaid) lefty specialist.

I used a DH so if pitchers are batting then put Colvin in at 1st PH and get rid of Barney.  I still say keep Z as a PH with an inflated power number.

Thanks guys, got 7 lineups set with your help...still working on how I'm going to revamp my pitcher ratings to make them more representative of their ability to strike people out. 

Gantry, if you really want Zambrano in the official lineup, that's fine...

Normally, I'd have Rollins leading off but it looks like Victorino will lead off going into the posteseason.  Also, tough call going Hamels over Oswalt, but Hamels was here all season and he makes a good lefty-righty combo

LA Dodgers: I didn't see many games this year, but hopefully this will help unless a real fan wants to give their input.  Things to consider: Manny only played 66 games, do you want him on the bench? Scott Podsednik was a late pickup and only played in 39 games.  Garrett Anderson wasn't much of an impact hitting .181, but you might want some lefty power coming off the bench, Gibbons had more starts(lefty)??  I don't think you can really put together an accurate lineup with the different acquisitions, but this would probably be someting good for RBI (below).

No DH:

01 Podsnk
02 M.Kemp
03 Ethier
04 JLoney
05 CBlake
06 Furcal
07 DeWitt
08 RMartn

Bench:
B1 Carrol
B2 Thriot or Barjas if you want a 2nd catcher
B3 RJhnsn
B4 Gibbns or GAndsn

Pitchers:
SP1 Kersaw
SP2 Kuroda or Billinglsey (looks like Kuroda had more control: so/bb)
RP1 HC Kuo
RP2 Broxtn

Did a quick search through my posts, didn't find any(unless you mean my footnote that you Could put Upton at the 2 spot, just ignore that, put Zobrist there and BJ at 6)

I know Cordeo's the closer, but I picked the two best relievers, not the closer. Cordeo lost 5 times and had 7 blown saves, plus I wanted to give the Reds a lefty pitcher, otherwise they have none. Not to mention that Cordeo had a walk for every two innings he pitched and a mediocre strikeout rate.

EDIT: If you disagree, just put Cordeo in and take out Masset.

Completely understand, redfanrod, I was going to give Heisey the od myself, but Nix is a lefty, which is pretty big in RBI. Only 2 of them seemed low for the team with the most runs in the NL, but I shall defer to your judgement. See previous posts on Cordero.

My bad Biggio, it was MortalPortal who put Duncan in twice on the Indians...

As for Cordero, I put the closer in on every team...top 2 SPs, setup man, closer...closers are usually the more well-known players in the bullpen so I like to include them...

If a team's fan has some better advice on who to put in a lineup, I'm all ears...these guys are just doing me a favor by filling in, but if you make a case for why a player should be on the team, we'll listen.  It's turning into a bit of a community effort anyways, at least in terms of who to include...

We're almost there...well be ready to start rating very soon...

I'm a bit confused as to why you'd put Jose Bautista on the bench...that really doesn't make any sense...

According to:
http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/TOR/2010-batting-orders.shtml

He's been a starter all year, and his 54 homers would also beg to differ...

I agree with Gerlost on the lineup but personally would rather see Motte as the P3 . McClellan is good and also a local but Motte is a hard throwing young arm.

Kahouty, unless you can talk me out of it, I'm going with Brett Anderson as one of the SP's.  The guy is too good to leave out, in my opinion, even if he was out for part of the season due to injury...

Thanks Gerlost, but the Marlins (haven't checked the pirates) is out of date, as Cantu was traded to Texas...and my fallback mlbdepthcharts.com for some reason doesn't have their lineup in right now, which is very weird for them.  They are usually really on top of things.

Post by: kahouty on 10/10/10, 03:13:58 AM
Yeah Turd I agree Anderson is a stud, but look at Gios stats. It hurt to put Gio down as the number two guy, but how can you leave him out? Remember the A's finished deadlocked at .500... 81-81. And Gio still managed to win 15 games. Oh and, there we exactly five pitchers in the AL that had more strikeouts AND a lower era than Gio.

In order, Jered Weaver/Felix Hernandez/CC Sabathia/David Price/Cliff Lee/Gio Gonzalez

Gio - 15-9  3.23 era  200 ip   171 ks

Anderson - 7-6  2.80 era 112 ip  75 ks


How many staffs in the league would choose the 112 innings pitched vs the 200? Gio 15th in the league in k's also, among the likes of King Felix, Verlander, Liriano, Sabathia, Price, Cliff Lee. I mean, I agree...given 200 innings Anderson would be similar, possibly better...but, he didn't pitch 200 innings.

I'm starting out putting pitcher ratings in place (the base ones that aren't subjective, like pitch speed).  I've got 7 clubs done...when I'm finished, all I'll have left to do for pitchers is curve values.  I'm purposely saving them for last because I feel they should be done together to keep some consistency going if possible.   I'm using curve value as the basis for how good a pitcher is, regardless of their actual arsenal of pitches.  It's how I rated them last year, and it's my preferred style.

Post by: Ventura on 10/23/10, 02:54:06 PM
I'm late to the party, but here are a few quick notes on the White Sox.  This would be a more accurate (and less optimal) batting order for most of the season:

1 Pierre LF
2 Vizquel 3B
3 Rios CF
4 Konerko 1B
5 Kotsay DH
6 Quentin RF
7 Pierzynski C
8 Ramirez SS
9 Beckham 2B

The bench is okay, though Ramon Castro's another option instead of Viciedo.  If you want a no-DH lineup, I'd just drop Kotsay and move everyone up.

I would prefer Danks and Floyd as the starters, though Buehrle's a fan favorite.  And you need Matt Thornton in the bullpen.  By far the best White Sox reliever for the last several years, and probably the best lefty reliever in baseball.  Go with Thornton and Jenks since you want to include the closer.
Title: Re: Official RBI 30-Team 2010 Postseason ROM
Post by: Biggio on 10/23/10, 03:05:35 PM
Completely agree on all counts, Ventura. Floyd is defiantly the better pitcher overall, plus gives the Sox a righty and a lefty, same goes for Thorton. Seriously considering putting in Ramon Castro and take out Manny Ramirez, the worst of the righties on the bench, and hardly had any ABs with Chicago anyway.

Post by: Turd on 11/24/10, 12:10:37 PM
Not sure if I mentioned this or not, but a month or so ago, I received a hack that basically allows you to have every team have whatever uniform they want, and then the game automatically applies the home whites to the home team.  No more weird color combos or whatever. Now we can have St. Louis and Cincinatti have their same uniform without conflict...same thing with all the teams that share a blue...

Title: Re: Official RBI 30-Team 2010 Postseason ROM
Post by: Turd on 11/24/10, 10:00:49 PM
I like it too...gives it a little more of a modern feel, if only just a little.  I always hated having to struggle with uniform colors.  We have this hack for the 32 Team Tecmo Bowl ROM and while there wasn't enough space for 30 extra uniforms, it was able to be done where it would just apply a hard-coded color to home or away jerseys.

I can customize this either way. I can set all the uniforms to be colored/away (gray for most, colored for some, like Houston) and then have the hack automatically just make pants/jersey white, keeping the cap, or I can switch this up and give all the teams their home whites and automatically apply the grays to away teams (gray, white, or any color I desire).

Remind me of what the base stealing hack is, and I'll bring it up in our next conversation.

the base stealing hack idea was to allow the editor to denote a minimum speed for the computer stealing 2nd. right now guys with minimum 142 can steal when computer controlled.

I do have access to an old PC, but it's getting old and slow, and the sound doesn't work.  So maybe I'll just try playing silently, or maybe I'll see about getting that fixed.

Our pitching rating system kind of sucked after we reviewed our progress, so we revamped a bit and started over.  This sounds like it put us back, but we're actually further ahead than we were because not pitchers are being rated relative to their talent level as opposed to being rated on an island.  So, the result should be easier editing for us with a better at a glance view, and more parity among pitchers.

I think we'll set a goal to have this thing beta released early January.  If we get aggressive, maybe sooner, but the holidays kill that, usually.

Version 1 beta has been released.

Edited by:
Warrenmoonbomb
TecmoTurd

First off, thanks to WMB. The guy is a rockstar.  After collaborating, I don't think I'd ever rate another ROM without a partner...it was so much more enjoyable this way.

Features:
Uniform hack -  All teams were given an away/colored uniform.  The home team will automatically have their jersey/pants color replaced with white while keeping the hat color the same.

Dirth paths - For a more modern feel, the dirt paths have been drawn onto the field.  I wanted this in the 2010 release, but I didn't make it in time.

The steal hack - this hasn't been changed, but it potentially could if we find a good number. We also might not change it in the spirit of keeping the original flavor.

This is an early beta, released to get feedback from people.  It's rated in the spirit of the original with an attempt at modernizing it a little.  We already know the rosters might not be 100% up-to-date.  If you notice an incorrect player on a team, please bring it to our attention.  If you have a suggestion or a gripe, let us know and we'll discuss it.  We put a lot of time into this, and we' like to make it better if at all possible.

One item for debate was whether or not to include Cliff Lee on the Rangers or Phillies.  One argument was to keep him on the Rangers because this ROM represents 2010, while the other argument favored accuracy.  We could see both points, but thought we'd leave it up to the community to see what they had to say, so we'd appreciate your thoughts on this matter.

Attached in the first post are 3 things.  The original 2011 ROM, a juiced version, and the roster sheet.  Please download and give us your feedback.  Thanks for participating in the early roster discussions, and we look forward to your feedback.

I'd say keep it the way it is for a ROM like this...

I guess you have to decide if you want it to be "end of the year 2010" or "opening day 2011" ROM.  Think that decision is ultimately up to you.  I'd say the former, otherwise you'd have to incorporate all the other free agent signings, retirements, etc.  Unless I'm completely missing the boat here...

I'm with Gantry - if you switch Lee to the Phillies, then you will have a bunch of other roster moves to make as well, and there are also still a ton of free agents who haven't signed yet.  I say use it as a 2010 ROM and move things around slightly for a 2011 ROM in February - you can use all the same ratings, just switch around rosters and add a few new players.

Great feedback guys.  I was ready to argue hard against keeping Clifford on the Rangers, but I started to come around, and you guys solidified that even more.

The only thing I'm concerned with still is the pitching.  I'm sure some more tweaks will come, but overall, I'm happy with our efforts.  I love the uniform hack as well.

We played a game last night HOU vs. MIL and I won with a Casey McGehee homer in the 10th inning to make it 1-0.  Glad to be done editing the meat of this thing and actually playing it.

(I even got a game of Tecmo in last night for the first time in a long time). Good stuff...

did the online collaborator spit out a rom?  i can't remember.  could you put the speed hack in there so we could download a rom with all these new options that are available?  field, uniforms, etc?  just wondering if that's possible.

Yeah, the online collaborator spits out a ROM and a roster sheet.  I'll put together a hackified ROM tomorrow evening.  What speed do you want it set to?

Is there a way to add a feature where you can choose the steal speed setting in the rom? (For instance, if the menu comes up you can choose if you want that to happen at 120 or 140)

Thanks!

Started a little work on the 2011 Preseason release (moving Lee to the Phils, etc).  The guy who was assisting in getting a bunch of awesome hacks has reappeared as of recent.  He's agreed to pick up where he left off on those hacks.  No idea when this all happens, so until then I'm pretending like it isn't going to.  I'll keep ya'll posted, but for now, this next update is just a roster update.

I know, it's a bit early to post considering they aren't done yet, but the fact that the project is at least confirmed to be back in action this week, my hopes are high that the remaining nuances of the game are to be fixed (at least the ones I deemed necessary).
Title: Re: Official RBI 30-Team 2010 Postseason ROM
Post by: BeefMaster on 02/28/11, 12:12:39 PM
Twins lineup is likely to look like this:

Span
Nishioka
Mauer
Morneau
Young
Thome (DH)
Cuddyer
Valencia
Casilla

Is the DH hack present in this?  If so, the bench is Kubel, Tolbert, Repko, Butera; otherwise, drop Butera for Thome (leaves them without a backup catcher, but Butera is a worthless hitter, and positions don't matter anyway).

Pitching staff should be Liriano, Pavano, Capps, Nathan.

We were going to use mlbdepthcharts as a base for lineups, but if the team experts have preference/advanced knowledge, we'll listn to that as well.

As for the DH hack being in, no hacks are in right now, but it's one of the hacks being looked at...running into logistical issues on how to actually do it.

It was basically going to determine whether or not to use the DH based on if the home/away team was NL/AL, but not quite sure how to make it happen without being able to specify what position the DH bats.

Title: Re: Official RBI 30-Team 2011 ROM
Post by: Turd on 04/01/11, 11:45:11 AM
You know, it's an extension of a debate on had on his rating last year...with the 954 power rating, he was automatic homer (which, even with a 25 contact rating, he's still homerific).  Even at his min power, he's apt to get on base...

There were some guys who hit well but not for power that I gave a lower, midline power rating and a very low contact rating so that they consistently hit at the same level all the time...

Re-Poop complained about Pujols last year hitting too many homeruns, and I could never get through to him that the guy is a machine and deserves Dawson like power...pitchers should be scared to pitch to him.

Also, JD Drew should get the nod ahead of Mike Cameron.  Cameron should take Darnell McDonalds spot on the bench.  And Cameron, Drew, Lowrie and Scutaro are all faster than Youkilis.

Yeah.  Especially over an 80 year old Mike Cameron.  Cameron and Drew are platooning, but it's pretty much determined that Drew will get the lions share of innings and at-bats.

Perfect! thanks my good man.  I'm thinking of something for next year that will help make this whole thing easier...I'll give people access to the editor somehow to either note or actually make lineup changes there (without actually changing the ratings, cause that's my job), discuss the current lineup by posting comments, and whateer else I can think of.  I just implemented drag and drop lineup ordering, and it's SOOOOO much nicer than the old way I did it...

the white sox don't have a third baseman in their lineup.  this order is close to accurate (given the lack of DH)

Hi there

I have been gone for a while.  Do you know if you could put Lance Berkman on the Cardinals and drop Brenden Ryan?

Also is the 30 team editor available for everyone?  If so, where can I find it?

Post by: Turd on 04/15/11, 09:37:19 PM
Are you suggesting Berkman for the official ROM? I can make that happen...editor isn't really available, I just edit it using my web-based one, but it only edits my official ROM, it doesn't work for multiple ROMs...

I'm finalizing this probably end of this weekend...been working a little on a league site...

I've decided that I don't want to put in too much effort to run a fancy league, as much as I think it'd be fun, it's wasteful to spend that much time when I can't guarantee people will play their games, so we're going to play meatspin style.

Not the transvestite swirling its junk around, but the meatspin the tecmo league, where the schedule was put out, and anyone could play any game on that schedule, so you weren't waiting for slackers.  People with the most games in at the end move to the post-season...

Have only looked at offenses so far.

Here is what the "average rankings" look like from top to bottom (no PH bonus considerations).


Team      FCT   Power   Cnt   AvgPowr   Spd   Lefties
Reds:      2   1   29   1   15   29
Yankees:      4   4   13   3   12   1

Braves:      7   7   20   7   30   4
Giants:      5   3   18   4   23   23
Brewers:      6   6   10   5   24   26
Orioles:      9   9   20   12   17   12
Indians:      8   8   7   9   6   4
Twins:      12   13   28   14   19   12
Cubs:      18   15   8   13   26   16
WhiteSox:   10   12   23   11   11   16
Rockies:      14   16   15   17   12   4
Diamondbacks:   13   14   14   15   14   12
Tigers:      11   9   27   10   24   12
Athletics:      15   17   17   16   7   4
Blue Jays:      17   11   1   8   27   29
Mets:      20   22   23   21   4   16
Phillies:      16   18   19   18   15   1
Pirates:      19   20   11   20   17   4
Cardinals:   21   19   16   19   21   26
Marlins:      24   25   25   26   9   16
Dodgers:      25   24   4   23   22   23
Nationals:   23   21   22   22   28   16
Rays:      22   23   3   24   2   4
Angels:      26   26   2   25   9   23
Mariners:      27   28   5   29   3   4
Astros:      29   27   8   27   20   26
Padres:      28   29   6   28   8   16
Royals:      30   30   12   30   29   1



This is how I would rank the teams from top to bottom.
This takes into consideration several factors such as bench utilization and PH bonuses among usage.  Gives a slight advantage to lefties (rbi hole + quicker run times to first + dbl play avoidance), and assumes a 60% contact factor (which may be low for ATG), meaning 60% of fair balls not hit on the sweet spot.

In the attached file, I have ranked all 360 batters from 1 - 360 in overall offensive performance.
I did not take PH bonus considerations in these rankings.

I decided to change my plan a bit this year and actually assign each team an error rating.  I also tweaked a few uniforms, and added a version number so that people know what version they are using.  So, with that said, version 1.1 is available on rbibaseball.us.  Enjoy...
