Whatifsports.com is a baseball sim site that allows you to put together all-time teams with adjusted salary caps and sim them against other teams.  For no charge you can put together a team and play a ten game season.  How does this translate to dee-nee to RBI you ask?  Ive already put together an all-rbier lineup and am waiting to see what they are capable of.  Take a look.

anyone else into this?  Its a great site.  Id love to start an all RBiers league on it. 

[Shooty]

I just created a team.  Hard to fill up all 25 roster spots with RBIers using only $80 million.

well you didnt need to fill up all the replacements with rbiers.  I figure just the starters, position players and most off the bullpen is a good start.  still its nice to see how rbiers fare in this sim. 

[Bonny]

Very cool site. Got my team started, running into cap problems.

[Shooty]

well you didnt need to fill up all the replacements with rbiers. 

Yes, I did.  They are the only real baseball players from the 80's.

I also tried to stick to the '85-'88 era and made sure I picked a year when the guy was on his designated RBI team.

If only I could get the damn game applet working. Fuck.

I got a few RBIers in there

[Nails]

The Kofax, Maddux, Ryan trio is filthy.  Great choices all around on that pitching staff.

I had a hard time with the salary cap.  I kept having to go back an rework my choices.  In the end, I think my pitching will come up short.   I also limited myself to present and past Mets, so you know i'm fucked.   But this is my first try at fantasy baseball, so i'll just have fun with it.

[TempoGL]

i recommend spending a minimal amount on bench players.  if you join a league that utilizes AAA, it's almost always smart to have all your reserve players be 200K, then just swap them out for the AAA guys.

[JoeDirt]

I don't get it...is this saying that if Lou Gehrig played today and had the exact same stats as he did in '26, he'd make $7mm?

Seems rather low, really...

[TempoGL]

well joe, the salaries are different than in real life.  The only players priced at 25 mil (a la PayRod) are pitchers who threw an assload of inning and were awesome at doing so (like 500 IP pitchers with sub 1.00 WHIPS from 1892 or whatnot)

Off the top of my head, 01 or 03 Bonds is the most expensive position player, and he is something like 17 mil.

[Nails]

It's also Lou Gehrig in a year where he batted .313 with 16 homers.  I'd imagine he'd be a bit more expensive in one of his .370, 45 HR years.

[TempoGL]

yeah he only had 16 HR, but look at that .549 SLG%...tasty...and i'm in a slap hitters ballpark anyhow, him and woody english are my sluggers, but they don't have HR power.

[TβG]

not only should this thread be a poll, it has evolved into a discussion that should be moved to the FANTASY SPORTS thread.

[GreatScott]

a couple things ....

most expensive player position player is bonds last year (04) ... 20 million +.  Pretty sure john clarkson is the best paid pitcher with a 35 mil + salary. 

yes this should be in FANTASY Sports ... but to be honest i forgot that thread existed because i hardly ever check it.

This is for Joe www.whatifsports.com

[Shooty]

How do you edit your batting order?  My current lineup is based on the position they play, so C Matt Noakes is leadoff while OF Vince Coleman is hitting from the 8 spot.  P.S. Pedriq is my best hitter after five games with a .750 average (3 for 4).  No wonder he's an RBI All Star.

[GreatScott]

you gotta click on edit my lineup under the managers office icon.  check out the help section .... whatifsports can get pretty complicated
