A Marcus Wilby classic thread from one of the great pioneers of the game from way back in the early glory days of 2002...this thread deserves a BUMP

Yeah, but the thing is...the game changed a lot since them. Many advices are not as sound now as they were back then.

We should make another, new, beginner thread.

1st time in non-dh league

Is the draft strategy any different? Will HAL pitch hit more in which case I need a better ($$$) bench? Will I need to cut down on starters salaries in pitching and in field to boost bench strength? Will I need to have a bigger roster? Usually I go with min numbers to save money. Any advise is welcome. Thanks.

Where do I find the hitter's clutch rating?

If a $ sign is next to a hit, that's negative clutch (i.e., that hit becomes an out if it's man in scoring position/2 outs.) If the $ is next to an out, then it's positive clutch.

The number of "points" depends on where it is in the column.

If it's on a 7 roll, then it's 6 points.
If it's on a 6 or 8 roll, then it's 5 points.
5 or 9 roll -> 4 points
4 or 10 roll -> 3 points
3 or 11 roll -> 2 points
2 or 12 roll -> 1 point

So, if a player had a $ next to a hit on a 7 roll and another $ next to a hit on a 10 roll, then he'd have -9 total clutch points.

(Get used to this "points" notion, btw, because it's used often.)

Does the robo-umpire not enforce the rule against using your DH as a defensive substitute in the late innings? I just spotted this manuever in a box score and was a little surprised.
