All-Star Aberration

August 23, 2016 at 06:20PM View BBCode

OF Naktenis has frustrated me all year, my first season. He's a four-time All-Star who had averaged .290-17-100 the last few seasons. This season his numbers have plummeted, yet he's "picked it up" in recent times, but I don't follow why the drop-off, considering the ratings. http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=11209523

As of now, he's 20th in Hits, 15th in Runs, 10th in Steals, 11th in Doubles, 4th in ABs while 6th in Walks. I just don't understand how the player is batting .273 with 61 RBIs in 116 games so far. The 16 HRs is above-pace, I guess. Math is hard, but I've seen this on other owners' teams when a player is rolling in their prime and suddenly tanks. It makes me suspicious, especially when one is taking over a team and this happens regularly enough. Makes me think there's a "failsafe" in the Sim to keep owners from booking to a winning team and pumping up their win percentage.

No, haha, that does happen. But the failsafe only kicks in when I take over a maybe-WS contender with upside, add some pieces, and watch it flop like a dead fish. Though that's not what's happening here, just the odd "loss" of a star player's per-usual dominant numbers.

Alternately, PHI is getting more than expected from other players who aren't as impressive as Naktenis, so perhaps there's something in that.
