OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - The Turn DP rating—does it do anything?

Just to add some data here (and my testing is nowhere near Furious's level) because there was some question about the fact that people believed that since it was 2B involved in Furious's data, they weren't convinced there was a problem.

I put together a fictional modern league. For 4 teams I moved a 1B/OF who had no 2B experience and low DP rating to 2B. 4 four other teams I did the same but switched out BOTH their SS and 2B. Rating Scale was 1-100. Below are the team DPs and individual for one season. (Injuries and fatigue were off)
Image 1, Image 2

While there are some clear differences individually, as a team, all teams were within the range of ML double plays and players with ratings below 5 (on 100 pt scale) and teams. Even with OF/1B at both middle IF positions were not far from the mean as a team.

Jack Castro (DP 4/100) managed to turn 100+ double plays with his fellow LF as his DP partner. Jorge Paz managed 100+ double plays with a DP of 1/100. Basically, anyone in OOTP is, at the least, competent at performing a double play.
