    Where have all the LHP gone?

    Seriously. Like 1/7-1/8 SP are LHP. MLB average is like 25-30%

    2/5ths of my rotation is Left handed, as well as one of my top 2 pitching prospects. I don't know what you're talking about.

    You are what we called "the exception" look around the league. Most teams have only played 8-11 games versus LHP at the 75 game mark.

    Funny....It was a serious question for Molina/OM/Mission (people who know what they're talking about). Wonder if it's all OOTP 6.5 leagues or just ours.

    3 of the 12 pitchers on my MLB staff are lefties. So I guess I'm at the average. It will be 4 out of 12 whenever Lopat develops. I really have no idea though. I never really cared about LH or RH so I didn't pay attention to it. Maybe OM knows more about it than I do.
    Integrity can accommodate the inadvertent error and the honest difference of opinion; it cannot accommodate deceit or subordination of principle.

    Well, as leagues progress, funky things happen. Porter hands out his talent like candy in this league. In S3SL, we hit another Ice Age. I think there's a lack of quality 3B in the other leagues as much as there is a lack of MR in this one. Glitches happen. Sometimes it may be related to where the engine is set. I would say it's a lot like a 3B being nearly extinct in S3SL. Over a long period of time, they just become few and far between- specifically in quality.
