APR Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Quick query here. How low do you let the energy levels go before you take a player out of the lineup? I just want to get a realistic amount of games played for everyone on my team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastflink2009 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Anything about 75% or under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernetic Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 depends if I have a guy who can replace him.. I had lot of under-achievers/injuries at the higher levels and have only 3 outfielders in A so they have to play everyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APR Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 Ok, I think I haven't been letting them go low enough. About the lowest I would go was around 88%. Time for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APR Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 And it doesnt effect their performance on the field if they go that low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgiantsflgators Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 i haven't noticed much effected in the way of performance when i let guys get a bit low. the main reason i take guys out when i do (under 70%) is because i'm guessing that injury probability goes up with the drop in that category. just a guess though... :chin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltopper3339 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I wait till about 50% before I bench a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitoon Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I know from my many trips through the datafile that the chance of injury does increase for fatigued players. I'm not sure at what point it kicks in though. I usually remove guys at around 80%, unless I see that I have an off day coming in the next few days.

rolliefingers08 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 80%, but i also take into account quite a few things. 1) who they are to me - if i really like a guy on my team (ex. chavez) then i'm less likely to take him out of the lineup than say, anyone with the same ratings who i'm not attached too. not a huge factor for me though. 2) their contract. if the guy on a AAA contract is tired, i'm most likely going to bench him over the guy on the MLB indispensible contract. 3) their value in my lineup. without mark kotsay, i don't have a leadoff man (traded kendall), especially versus lefties. so he's most likely to stay in the lineup. also if joe mauer is getting tired, but i'm facing a righty today and a lefty tommorow, i'll give him the day off tommorow because he crushes righties and is barely a AAA player vs LHP 4) off day coming up soon or not? if the next day is an off day, no point in benching a top player unless i have another reason too, or they are absolutely dead.

AcousticNut Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Anywhere from 75 - 80% most of my guys will get a breather. Really depends on the opponent, the quality of the player, future off-days, etc. I think the lowest I've had a guy in is 68% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
