I don't think the type of league has much to do with it. I play stats only for any league that I am going to devote some time to. If you want to play fast and don't want to look hard at the stats, it probably isn't for you.

2. How do you know who can play which positions? How am I to know that a 3B is better suited in LF/RF or 1B?
3. How do you figure out who is your fastest player?
4. How do you know what pitches a pitcher throws?
5. how do you tell what his stamina is?

Now, I know that The Wolf is different on this, but I play with the Other ratings on 1-5. To me, these are things that you should have some info on.

6. On average how many draft picks in a given year will even get a cup of coffee at the ML level?

I'm not really sure exactly what it is you are looking for here. Are you talking about a guy getting drafted and brought up in the same year? I don't have any data, but that happens rarely for me.

7. What are the disadvantages to playing SO?
|
It is more time consuming I guess, but really if you turn out to be someone who enjoys playing the game this way it is because you don't feel there are any.

8. I am having a hard enough time winning with my Chicago Fire having 4 of 5 losing seasons with full ratings an excellent scout and me on steroids. Why should I switch to playing a style that appears to be harder? My scout has been wrong on 3 1st round draft picks so far.

Well, to me the biggest thing is that it is more realistic as far as how a GM has to approach things. However, if you are already struggling with the game it may not be for you. Of course, you never really know unless you give it a try.
