The Answers to "Fudging with Numbers" (Nov 6, 2006)

From this article on ArmchairGM

"Paul" is Joseph Paul DiMaggio, 1941 stats

"Sam" is Theodore Samuel Williams, 1941 stats

Games are (+ 10) each
Avg, OBP, hits and OPS are (x .75)
2Bs are (- 10 each)
3Bs, , SBs and BB are (x .5)
K's are (x 4) (I had to super multiply them to keep people off of the impossibly low 13 K's for Joe and 27 K's for Ted that year

Of course, Joe D won the MVP that year, and it's still fishy to this day, especially when you look at the REAL stats.... 56 game hitting streak is nice and all, but .406 for a SEASON?!?!?!? That's ridiculous!


"Eric" is David Americo (Arias) Ortiz in 2006

"Andy" is Derek Sanderson Jeter in 2006

Games are (- 10) each

AVG, OBP, Hits, HRs and RBI are (x .9)

SBs are (x 1)

BB, Ks and OPS are (x .9)

And we won't know for a couple of days who will win this one (if it is even one of these two guys!?!?!?)

There you go... "Fudging with Numbers" Thanks for playing. I still don't know what to make of it...
