12 games isn't even a tenth of a full baseball season. Consider that some players have had entire horrible outlier seasons before.

It's 75% of a B8BL season, which is all that matters.

When we play 162 games, get back to me.


Lol, you just don't get it man. You can't "ride a streak" in a video game. It's a new crap shoot every time we play. It's better to play the very best players every time to increase your odds and reduce random luck. We're playing probability. Extha and I have the game and we know Miggy is a top 3 player. Arguing that Morse is better because he has better stats over 12 games is beyond stupid. Can you imagine if you made the same argument in real life? Like, say Miggy was hitting .170 12 games into the season, do you really think people would say he's suddenly a horrible hitter? The only people who would are suckers that I swindle in fantasy baseball.

My point is, trading him away is like gambling that he won't explode over the next few games which he is fully capable of doing. You can't look at 12 games and make a conclusive assumption about somebody's talent and predict what he will do over the next 4 games. I can make a conclusive assumption by looking at the values the game makers have given him and say, yes, it is more likely that Miggy will outproduce Morse from now to the end of the season.
