Pick a Franchise

Lead Story - 9/23/2022

Season 8 Format.

This time we're going to use 1940 to 2021 range of years. Your going to pick any franchise. No duplicate franchises. You may pick any year for your team as long as they didn't finish in first place. You are going to be able to select three players from your teams history. 1 position player, 1 Starting Pitcher and 1 Relief pitcher. From the year you choose for your team, you get to stat change one player from that year and upgrade his stats. That means if you took Boston Red Sox and took the 2002 year, you can stat change Pedro Martinez from 2002 to his 2000 year. There can be no duplicate bonus players. You will pick your players at the same time you select your team year and your stat change player. Players must meet the minimum stats to be eligible for import. Position players must have at least 90 AB, starting pitchers need at least 70 IP and relief pitchers need at least 25 IP. Any SP imported with less than 70 IP will be moved to a RP with reduced stats.

4/17/2024 Gauging WAR vs. Rnk in the newgbacci
I created the original FIRE formula so I'm glad it had some logic to it, but I think what some people would argue is why does McGwire in this example need the extra boost when his only real advantage over Harrah was homeruns?

In fact I see McGwire sitting on the bench in a lot of 1980s leagues, including teams owned by people on this thread.:)

So in the old formula, if you put McGwire and Harrah in the lead off spot for all 162 games, McGwire would have been On Fire 23 times and Harrah 17 times. In the new formula, it's Harrah 12, and McGwire 10. Just because McGwire was going to be a great player and Harrah was old, doesn't mean Harrah's single season (in this case 1982) doesn't stack up to McGwire's 1987 season. I think despite the new On Fire we'd all draft McGwire first because of the 49 homeruns, so it hasn't really tanked his value.

Again, these are all rhetorical questions as we don't yet know how this is going to play out.
