I've got the OFAS and BATS sets and have thoroughly enjoyed your APBA reports. I hope there are plenty more to come.

Give that a try and see if the results won't be just a bit different.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('4610','vinnie'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('4610','vinnie','The reason the dead ballers do so well is that their pitching stats artificially deaden the effect of the long ball.
