thanks alot uncleal that helps alot, I'm guessing 500 plus plate appearances is good enough to cover a full time player for the whole year.

More like 600, although it depends on the quality of the offense and the spot in the order.

Remember, 162 games x PA/game = PA/season

Real Life PA x 1.1 = Max PA/season to stay at 100%

wow, thanks once again, this reminds me of math class.  Okay I wont ask any more questions, time for me to learn some on my own. I am starting a exhibition season tommorrow.  See you guys soon.

Yes, your team must have 25 players on it.

In a league with AAA, there is no reason to get any subs at more then 200K if the starter at that position has enough PA to last full-time.

And even if there's a few that aren't quite full-time, the AAA can probably cover it for a few games.

Only reason to spend $$$ on "subs" is if you're actually intending to platoon your two guys, or if you have a tiny amount (say, 100K or so) extra cash left after lineup, rotation, bullpen -- then maybe put the money into a pinch-hitter or pinch-runner.

there are several good pinch-hitters available for $200K - mike marshall and colbrunn come to mind...for a bit more, medina (6 homers in about 60 plate appearances) is nice...

i'm using cy williams (636 plate appearances) and he'll tire, so i have ollie brown, about $359k serve as his defensive replacement...

"Remember, 162 games x PA/game = PA/season"

where can I find PA/game?
