At the end of each season owners may submit a new lineup that is used in the 20 Resim competition. This competition is purely for speculation and is used as a gauge to determine who had the best draft. The true ATB champion remains the World Series winner.
20 seasons are automatically simulated and compiled. No lineup changes are allowed and injuries are turned off. Through a formula that considers Win-Loss record, Playoff Appearances, and Pythagorean Record the teams are ranked in order from worst to first.
Special thanks to Justin B who provided the formula and methodology behind the raw park OPS values, which provides a new way to interpret park factors.
For the second season in a row, the Gold Country Gossamers are the 20 resim Champions. With the 2nd ranked offense and 5th ranked pitching staff, the Gossamers had a stellar +132 run differential, allowing them to have a winning record in all 20 seasons, a feat no other team matched. This team was so good that their resim minimum wins of 86 was better than the maximum wins of 6 other teams.
Their lineup was out of deadball-era lore – no batter hit more than 10 home runs, yet they scored 777 runs. They didn’t hit an inordinate amount of doubles to triples either, but they did get on base at a prolific clip:
.436 – John McGraw (3B)
.387 – Tris Speaker (CF)
.379 – Roger Connor (1B)
.360 – Cupid Childs (2B)
.362 – Bobby Murcer (DH)
.358 – Ross Youngs (RF)
.355 – Harry Walker (LF)
.346 – Wally Schang (C)
Plus part time players:
.377 – Edgar Martinez
.356 – Joe Kelley
.343 – Frank Fennelly
Only Bill Dahlen, an Ex/85 shortstop, was deficient.
The pitching staff was well above average top to bottom. Only one regular, on the entire staff, had en ERA over 4.00.
Justin B simply drafted a team with absolutely no holes. He monitored his team weekly and even survived a mistake trade, shipping Tim Burke to the Daffiness Boys for a wrong-year Frank Robinson
