League Leaders error

As you may know from this season in baseball, Omar Infante can win the batting title depite not having 3.1 PA per team game. Essentially, he gets an 0 for X where X is the number by which he is short of the requirement. If you take is 0fer into calculation and he still has a higher BA, he wins.

This situation MAY happen in the [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/standings.jsp?teamid=14903]Bob Horner Leager[/url]. My CF [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=7181206&statsorimps=last10]Slammy Sammy Callahan[/url] has an OPS of 1.000 but he doesnt show up on the league leaders page because he was injured (i did not vote in favor of the current injury system in my league because it sucks the fun out of the game) and missed some games. If he continues to get 4-5 AB per game, im sure he'll make the requirement when the season is over (if he's healthy of course).

My point is: shouldn't the logic account for such incidences?

I hope the links work

So, you want the system to automatically fill in an "0 for X" for those players who do not qualify for the rate stat awards? That seems like a great idea to me.

I almost raised this issue last season with Toby Berry (http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?playername=nobody&mode=stats&id=5126696) who hit .340 with 496 PAs in 1992, but he went 0 for 4 in his final game, and missed the batting title. All he needed was to go 1 for 4.

The winner (http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=4533971) went 149/442, for an average of .3371. Berry went 150/441, but to qualify him it would be 150/447, which is an average of .3356. If he had gone 1 for 4 on his final day, then it would be 151/447. which would be .3378, and would have won him the batting title under MLB rule 10.22a: "Any player with fewer than the required number of plate
appearances whose average would be the highest, if he were charged with the
required number of plate appearances shall be awarded the batting, slugging or onbase percentage championship, as the case may be."

By the way, IRL Bill Madlock (1981) and Tony Gwynn (1996) each won batting titles this way.
