All Time Baseball

1) Draft any player, of any season, throughout recorded baseball history: 1871 to present. You may also choose one of a handful of select Negro League players listed here.

2) Drafting is done "live" over the course of 2-3 weeks. Use this Google Docs Draft Tool to post.

3) 28 Players need to be selected, they can be any mix of batters and pitchers.

4) Simulation results are based upon the players real life stats AND the era in which they played in. 40 HR in 2006 (NL Avg ERA was 4.49) is not as impressive as 40 HR in 1968 (NL Avg ERA was 3.43). Bear this in mind, and this file of average stats by year will help.

5) And don't forget stadiums matter too. Don't expect Colorado's Todd Helton to be a batting powerhouse if you play him Comerica park.

6) Weekly lineup form

Here is a list of all files that will be useful to you. And please read the Rules and Draft Day pages for a complete rundown of how it all works.

Eligible Batters and Pitchers - The raw data files of all eligible players. Includes stats, Park Factors, and League era information.
Eras - File of league batting and pitching averages for every year in baseball history.
Batter and Pitcher Ratings- actual ratings of all batters used in ATB history.
Negro League Results - Results of simulations for the selected NL'ers. See the rules page for more on this.
Ballparks - The DMB community is awesome. Someone created an application to read the ballpark files DMB uses. I can now export all 2180 parks with full data as to Park Factors, Weather, Fence Height, Dimensions, etc. Use this file to select your park.
ATB XIII Batting and Pitching Registers - Here's how each player faired in last season's simulation. Please remember this is just a sample of 1 season worth of data and results will almost assuredly fluctuate significantly in ATB XII Use it as a guide, but be warned.
100 Sim Results Page - in the offseason, we baselined some of the most often drafted players by running them through 100 seasons of simulation and compiling the data.
