Its been a clean sweep in all leagues so far in this next set of 10 replays. DEN and FFF in the Babe Ruth; OTT and LEB in the Cy Young. Most titles have come in convincing fashion. All four division winners are being run by a well-made CM. Its no secret that a HAL-generated CM is much worse than a human-generated CM. We have seven (7) out of 18 human-generated CM's in this set of replays.
In the Babe Ruth, RBC has been a regular member of the playoff-club. HSD, BSK and BWC have also knocked on the door. I fully expect to see ALT in this bunch as well. On the flip side, it will take a very well-made CM to pull BBM and/or CLE out of their 60-win blues. In the BR, seven (7) teams have a legitimate shot at a playoff spot.
In the Cy Young, both ELR and CDC have been regulars in the playoff hunt. ELR has slipped a bit since the first replays, but are still a solid playoff-type team. With a good CM, this wild card could be theirs without much of a fight. CDC has their CM in and it has done wonders. LVP and NLL have both knocked on the playoff door. Only WHW is stuck in Lotto-land. Its only a matter of time before Hoffman gets moved.
I have also noticed that the Babe Ruth plays much like the NL; lower ERA's, lower BA's. While the Cy Young is more of an AL-style of play. You can see that ballparks do come into play here. In the BR, there are three absolute canyon-parks in Brighton, Bloomington and Fairfax. The BR batting averages have been roughly 20 points lower than the CY and ERA's have been about 30 points better. There are no canyons in the CY.
It will be interesting to see how everything plays out for real when the season starts on April 3rd.
