Yeah, first off, even though, it's the 2nd time I'm mentioning it, I kind of you know wasn't complaining because I know it's not easy to take the statistics, & you feel like you have to add a little logic from their statistics to the ratings, & (come up with the ratings). I mentioned I was blowing off a little steam after a poor performance in the playoffs.
So I basically was just mentioning that I felt Gehrig was striking out too often.
The numbers from the slash line aren't so hard to explain considering the pitching...
But the main point I'm trying to make is if you adjust the avoid K from their normal OOTP ratings down for modern pitchers, it kind of gets adjusted doubly. First, their avoid K's is lower, & then they face guy who fan 8-10 hitters per game. It is enough that they face 8-10 K pitchers every game.
Maybe their ratings should be consistent & the match-ups would take care of the rest. There is proof in the Perfect Leagues that this take place, be it hitters who might hit .340 hitting .290, or sluggers that might hit 60 HR hitting 35 HR, etc.
I think the reason I brought up Gehrig and Jackson is they are both well below average for Avoid K on their PEAK cards. It seems whatever adjustment was made would seem about right in theory until you play out a season of them facing K artists every day & some modern day players that strike out at least as much as they did in their time strike out significantly less than them. Or a player like Willie Mays, who has an avoid K of slightly above average but struck out quite a bit striking out less than them.
We can forget I ever posted except for my one point that if the ratings are adjusted for modern pitchers, then they will be at a double disadvantage. They will have the low avoid K rating & they will face high K pitchers. If the ratings were left alone they would still be striking out quite a bit more.
