I made a player that I named Test Dummy using the method described above. This gave him a lot of extra base hits, but not a lot of homers (23 in the 1954 replay).Ī few days ago, I realized I could use an invented player to figure out exactly what the result numbers 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, and other numbers produce. Schumpert was a curiosity for me because I gave him a 3, 4, and 6 as well as a 1. In creating these players, I just guess at how they will perform. It was a lot fun because Willie Stargell hit 63 home runs, but with McGwire come from the future, he did not lead the league in home runs. Perhaps needless to say, the ’71 Cards won their division in the replay. I brought Minoso to 1971 because he was a nightmare against the Red Sox in the ’54 replay. I brought Jensen to 1971 because I enjoyed him on the ’54 Sox. I also added 1998 McGwire, 1954 Jackie Jensen, and 1954 Minnie Minoso.

I put him on the Boston Red Sox in a 1954 replay and on the St. He was an excellent player in overall ability, but not amazing in any one area. My favorite player I ever created this way I named Eli Schumpert. I import him into the disk I created (U-fun), and I change his name, stats, card, etc. I try to choose one that played as little as possible. I create a new data disk in Advanced Draft, then import a player from a farm team on one of the seasons disks I own. Wizard is not around anymore, but Player Editor in Advanced Draft can do the same thing. Now and then I create an APBA player card in APBA Baseball for Windows 5.75.
