So with the AutoCalc then, you mention that it gets within 2-3% of your #'s.. does this mean I need to manually enter the amount of doubles, triples, home runs.. etc? Or can I take a year, like 1992 for example, and then run the auto calc?
Also, since it's a 140 game schedule, does this mean I would expect a higher total of home runs? 50 HR in 162 games = 50 HR in 140 games? Should I take that into consideration as well?
Thanks

If you are using 1992 numbers that would be a 162 game schedule. If you use 162 game "target" numbers but play, as in your example, a 140 game schedule then the resulting numbers will be in ratio to your league total target numbers.
Think of it this way in a 140 games you will generate less PAs and ABs, so less hits, less 2b, 3b, HR, BB, K etc, etc., etc.. The batting avg will come out fine and the other hits will be in the correct ratio to number of total hits. So you don't have to customize your league totals to the number of games you are playing.
I know some people, to make it simple in their mind, have based all of their league totals on 100,000 at bats. This is fine and works for any number of games scheduled as it is the ratio that is the driving factor not the actual totals.
Hope that makes sense.
