hopefully this fixes the problem of teams having 80% pitchers on their rosters as well. its really annoying to see a 25 man roster have 8 hitters and 17 pitchers, and then an additional 15 reserve players being all pitchers.

i agree with the short comments, just because they are short, they are just as likely to pitch 9 innings a game 200 innings a year as someone who is 7 feet tall.

as for clutch players; there may or may not be any evidence for it, but torii hunter was baseball's anti-clutch when he played for the twins.
