Started a random debut yesterday and I think this may be a keeper.

I'm attempting to use the new draft lottery, but heaven only knows if I have it set up correctly. I guess we find out the hard way......A great Kinks song by the way.
Using normal for long injuries and high for short.
I let the team keep the park factors instead of making them all neutral
I'm using real stats. I know I'm told there is nothing different between the real and neutered db when it comes to fielding, but I'm not convinced. With 22 I ended up with Scott Rolen playing SS with horrible ratings. Yesterday I had Cal Ripken Jr starting at 2B. I will quit playing OOTP altogether if stuff like this is the norm. Good thing is, I don't tend to see if while using real stats.
