Five Worst Players in RBI

[Stock]

you have all the players ranked in each category? that's quite impressive. i think Puhl might be the man for the 6 hole, but he can also be a valuable PH late in the game - kind of like how I wait until it's a super clutch situation late in the game to use Oquendo on the Cards (he fueled a 6 run comeback in the 9th for me yesterday.

I have that too.  When I said "power" rankings, I wasn't referring only to power.  I was referring to an overall rating.  Kind of like how ESPN has power rankings for NFL teams.  Although Thon has more power than Puhl, Puhl's speed, better contact, and his left handedness give him an overall better ranking.

Stock, we need those rankings on the RBIdb - I think...  Any chance you can put the ranking on there for all the players?  If not, post your documents and I'll add them...

I leave Doran with Cheese in the game.   To me, there is little difference between Puhl and Doran, so save Puhl for a clutch pinch-hit situation somewhere in the game.  It's like you are subbing out a guy for the same exact player...

Good point Gantry.  If you are playing ATG, no point in putting in Puhl for Doran.  They are the exact same player save for 3 power points.  However in str8 pitch (or batting practice play), you may want to put in Thon to get ~4 additional at bats with 18 more power points.
Also, when being Houston, it is probably since I was unlucky and pulled them out of a hat or landed on them with a blind selection.  In this case, there may not be later innings, so you want the best possible line-up just to get you to the 7+ inning point.

I can see the case for Thon, mostly because of the fact he's a righty.  But Puhl needs to stay on the bench for an opportune situation...

This file is interactive, so you can choose to give more/less weight to attributes such as speed, contact, power, or even being right/left handed.
For example, if you (personally) do better with lefties, give "Hand" a 1 or 2, and the list  will be recalculated.

Or, if you are in a "batting practice" tourney, give a lower weight to "Contact", since you should be able to hit almost every pitch on the screws.
If you are in an ATG style tourney, give a higher weight on "Contact" and "Speed".

Let me know what you think.

Gantry - are you talking straight pitch or ATG?

I'm not sure what I'll do the next time I use Houston. Do you all agree that Denny must go? I guess I can let the Doran, "Ice" Reynolds, Assby combo hit for a game or two and see what happens. I can't do any worse with them, I suffered my only loss with Ho yesterday. I even took out CA with the Cards (this isn't top notch competition though).
