dahsdebater -- Your point is well taken. Based on what we've heard, it looks like one of the biggest changes will be the relative value of some of the greatest deadball hitters if their egregious fielding ratings come up.
If I were to go out on a not very big limb, I would predict that some of the new cookies might include Tip O'Neil `91, a steal at $5.5 MM with a .321/BA, .402 OBP, 10 dead ball HR's and speed of 70 if his D/D+ fielding comes up to at least the B-/C+ range and his price stays about the same. Ditto for Gavvy Cravath `13, already a popular choice for $6.5 MM with a .341 BA, .407 OBP and 19 dead ball HR's, even saddled with D+/D fielding.
And jfranco77 made a good point in another thread about how you could make a huge case for Honus Wagner's `08 fielding ratings to jump when you compare his fielding percentage to the rest of the league that year. I think nearly everyone agrees that Wagner was one of the great defensive SS's of his or any era. I have checked out his glove in Cooperstown many times.
But that's not really the point of this thread. That goes to the subject of which players will be most impacted by the 10/14 update, and it hints at the next batch of cookies.
But all this thread addresses is current cookies and how prices will be affected by the update's changes for good-hitting pitchers like Caruthers, Tannehill, Johnson and Hawley, impact (if any) on some of the more popular catchers with good arms and impact (if any) on some of the other more popular cookies today like Phillips, Weiss, Williams, Jefferies & McGee.
Not driving at anything in particular. To paraphrase Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men, "Point? I have no point. I never have a point. That's part of my charm."
