I have no idea when transactions happened, so I just made them up, but making sure the player was available for the correct number of games for each team.
I have Radbourn making those starts in 84, and I've never had him match his record.
I am currently planning the 1895 season, first I do the Excel mapping, then transcribe moves to the Word doc, then do the transactions. I am cheating a bit in that I have had injuries off.
Play on, I'm loving the updates.
Thanks.
Its taking me a little longer to run it due to my schedule and using the real starters.
I have found that printing out your spreadsheet instead of trying to split your monitor screen works better and is easier on the eyes.
I have my injuries and fatigue set low. I doubt if i will increase it since i will be using historical transactions and lineups after 1901 anyway.
I would advise doing a backup for each season if you can.
It comes in handy when you make a mistake or theres a crash.
Are you using the real rosters?
I'm looking forward to seeing how Cy Young does and the 1890s Orioles are coming.
