Hall of Merit — A Look at Baseball's All-Time Best Friday, December 02, 2005Diamond Mind League using all-time great players diskThinking of starting a Diamond-Mind league using the all-time greatest players disk. I was thinking something like maybe using the DM disk, and the salaries from one of the ESPN or Fox leagues to keep teams from being entirely made up of Hall of Famers, etc.. A couple of other ideas . . . All games are played head-to-head, no simming (except for vactions, etc.). Maybe play two series a week, probably wouldn’t mean more than 2-3 hours a week in terms of a time commitment, some people spend that much time just tweaking their MP anyway . . . Also I would want to rate all of the players for injuries, based on their career length . . . something like less than 1620 games “Prone”, more than 2430 games (1.5 * 162, or 15 full seasons) “Iron”, everyone else “normal”. Open to debate on the appropriate numbers. Use translated IP from Prospectus for pitchers, maybe something like under 2500 prone, over 4000 Iron? For relievers come up with something based on career games or full seasons or something. I think it’s be a lot of fun and the cool thing is, we wouldn’t need a certain number of teams, there are 1700 players on the disk IIRC, so we could set the structure once we know how much interest there is. Anyway, it’d probably be a lot of fun, I guess just post here or send me an email if you are interested . . . JoeD has the Imperial March Stuck in His Head

1. JoeD has the Imperial March Stuck in His Head Posted: December 02, 2005 at 06:33 AM (#1756304)However, I don't really like the idea of making players injury prone due to the length of their career, I think it would make career guys seem better than they are. It could also be used for evil, like evidence that Jake Beckley should be in the HOM :-)
I would simply use in seasons durability, especially for catchers, since many time peak catcher candidates are that way because they had better in season durability (See Trouppe V. Schang).
We have a similar league going, the OOSL, (24 teams) using Strat's career historical disk set, plus added negro league players.
We're heading into our 13th season in 2006, it's a lot of fun having players from all eras playing together. We also publish a "Total Baseball" style encyclopedia of stats.
You should check out our league's all time stats and records.

Josh Gibson won't be in the league, unless we wait for KJOK's Negro and Japanese league disks.
Jschmeagol - you have to do something or else Frank Chance and Sandy Koufax will be Gods. I think making players with short careers injury prone makes 100% sense in something like this. It's the same thing that the ESPN and Foxsports leagues do.
Besides DMB injuries aren't nearly as 'strong' as real life, I'd guess maybe half the real life games lost to injury are lost in DMB, maybe even less.
Actually, those are based on career stats as well.
That is what the players are "rated" for, based on a average of their 10 seasons of AB's/IP's. So what you see on the roster lists is based on their career stats, and that is their "player card".
