When I click on the 2011 Usage Cheat Sheet, I get the following error:

Any ideas? Thanks for all of your hard work on them. Our draft started Tuesday, so your amazing sheets would be helpful.

With your help, I was able to win my Stratomatic league for the first time. People thought I was crazy for benching Kershaw in one round, but I went with your cheatsheet numbers. Keep up the amazing work.

I have a strat question for you. I am in a 30 team keeper league and I am Minnesota in the Twins BP. I have Brett Gardner lf-1 e1(-2),cf-2 e1 and Denard Span cf-3 e4(+0). My question is should I play Gardner in left (to take advantage of his 1 field rating) and Span in center or Span in left and Gardner in center (because CF has more FB-X and his arm)?

My thought is to play Gardner in CF. What do you think? Thanks for your response.

This was proved to be much assistance. Our league just passed a new amendment that instead of playing with an established ballpark and being subject to the changes that happen from season to season there, we can now adjust our own ballpark +/- 2 for each ballpark singles and homeruns every two years the direction of our choosing.

If I may infringe upon your time with another question: Can you explain the clutch rating system? What does it mean to be a +6 in the clutch or -8? Are these a number of rolls that will result in a hit rather than an out when two outs and men in scoring position exist? And then vice-versa, 8 spots where normally a hit would occur, but an out does instead? How much influence should a clutch rating sway someone on the value of a card? Thank you.

If a hitter is up, say Jim Thome who has 8 BP HRs against each side, and a BP HR chance occurs on his card, then the result of the 20-sided dice roll is dependent upon the RH or LH nature of the pitcher throwing. Is this correct? Reversely, if a pitcher is throwing and a BP HR chance occurs on his card, the result of the 20-sided die roll is dependent upon the RH or LH nature of the batter at the plate. Am I interpreting the rule correctly?

You are amazing. I didn’t think you would have them out so early.

A chance is equal to 1/108 as there are 108 chances on a card. LU/RU and CU is the value of the player if you use him exclusively against left-handers, right-handers and all season. The check mark indicates whether the player can steal, bunt, hit and run and run.

For pitchers, RLV tells you how many additional runs a player is going to give up and RLR tells you how many good innings a pitcher is going to pitch. For some relievers, their net RLV is negative. That means that there are so few hits that the strikeout and double play chances the card will cost runs. Keep in mind that the card is measure by iself. Kuo is a -13.6. That means if he faced a 100 run value hitting card (i.e. the two cards rolled against each other), that hitter card would only generate 86.4 runs.
