4.) Teams
=======================================================================
This part of the guide deals with the teams (obviously). I will give
you the team's starting lineup, its starting pitchers, its closer, its
position players, and a grade of how good it is. NOTE: In interleague
play, the DH's come in affect to the National League, and the DH's come
off of effect in the American league. I put the DH's for the AL teams,
and left the 8 position players for the NL. Also, in each league, there
will be a best of every position in my opinion. Example: Best Third
Baseman, Best Catcher, etc.

Boy, that took a long time.
=======================================================================
5.) Hitting
=======================================================================
Well, this section deals, of course, with hitting. Anyway, you should
focus a lot on hitting. You should have at least one fantasy all-star
(like Mike Piazza or Chipper Jones). Also, you need a guy that can hit
over. 310, or at least .300, a guy with 35+ homers, and a guy with 100+
RBIs. Also, don't just get one all-star and leave the rest to be really
bad players. You should have a balanced lineup 1-8 (or 1-9 in AL) in
the batting order. Now that you've built your team, here are some
strategies about playing with it. Well, first and foremost, you
shouldn't always try to get a home run. Usually this results in a pop-
up in the outfield. Sometimes you get a home run, but that's when you
use guys like Ken Griffey, Jr., Sammy Sosa, etc. The only times you
should try to hit a home run is with your strongest guys, usually your
3rd and 4th hitters. However, with the whole rest of the lineup you
should try to get a well-placed line drive. You should always take a
look at the infield and outfield. Finding a hole and trying and hit it
there is the next step. This way, if you get a lot of baserunners,
you'll drive in more runs. However, what if you're a weak hitter trying
to get the runner over, but you're left-handed, the hole is on the
right side and the pitch is tailing away from you, then try to just get
the bat on the ball. You might get to first, if not the runner will
advance. If you're a weak hitter and runner, then send the runner, and
just make contact (this is called the hit and run technique). If you're
a power hitter, you have to know that they're going to pitch around
you. However, you should work a deep count, and figure out what pitches
do what. Then, you can guess the next pitch, and if you're right,
you'll probably get a big hit.
=======================================================================
6.) Pitching
=======================================================================
In my opinion, pitching is the most important aspect of the game. You
have to have good pitching staff to be successful. The best pitching
staff I can think of is that of the Braves. They've got Maddux,
Glavine, Smoltz, Millwood, and Chen. Anyway, here are some helpful
tips to be a good pitcher:
Don't allow hitters to guess your pitches. Use different pitches in
different orders to do this.
Don't be afraid to intentionally walk someone, except when the bases
are loaded.
Always go after the hitters.
Don't be afraid to pitch inside.
Learn how your pitches break, their speeds, and how your pitches will
make you successful, and you'll be a great pitcher. One way to do this
is to play an exhibition game.
Try not to work a deep count to smart hitters, or else they might be
able to guess your pitches.
Don't always throw a pitch right down the middle on a 3-0 count. Many
good hitters will swing if they find a good 3-0 pitch to hit. However,
make sure if they don't swing, it'll be a strike.
On an 0-2 pitch, don't throw a good one.
Pitch with 2 balls as you would with 3 balls.
10. Don't pitch too many complete games.
11. When your stamina is low, keep on working, but have someone out in
the bullpen. Even if the hitters are able to guess your pitches, the
control you have left, will baffle them. But if they take a lot of
balls, switch the pitcher.
12. Don't hit three hitters (you'll be ejected from the game and won't
be allowed to come back and play during the game at all.
13. Don't try too much to get a strikeout.
14. As Greg Maddux once said, "I'm trying to make strikes look like
balls and balls look like balls," or something like that. Use his
little speech when your pitching.
=======================================================================
7.) Fielding
=======================================================================
Fielding is one of those things that isn't too important, but you still
need some of it. Really all I have to say is just use your brains.
Also, use some good fielders. Don't just use good hitters to field!
=======================================================================
8.) Season
=======================================================================
The Season is the mode that is the most important. You can go to the
playoffs from there, and if you get through that, it's World Series
time! Just be sure to use the tips I gave you for Hitting, Pitching,
and Fielding. Also, be sure to take a close look at your players. If
they aren't doing well, you might want to trade or send the back to the
minors. If you do, you might want to create a player. If they're doing
well, look at how they managed their success, and try to provide more
successful things. Example: If you were the Atlanta Braves, and Andruw
Jones was hitting awesome in the 2nd spot of the lineup, while Reggie
Sanders was hitting awful in the 2nd spot, you might want Andruw and
Reggie to switch places. Also, be sure to remember that you're not only
the player, but you're also the manager. Always have a balanced team.
Don't focus on any one thing too much. Example: If your team batting
average is .333, but your pitchers' combined ERA is 10.03, go ahead and
trade an all-star hitter for a pitcher with an ERA under 4.00. Maybe
you think that's a bad idea because that all-star hitter is hitting
396, but remember that the rest of your team is doing well, too, and
you really need a good pitcher to win. If you do trade, and you have
good fielders, you have a very good chance for a world championship
team. All right, flip the page.
=======================================================================
9.) General Manager
=======================================================================
This is a VERY important part of the game. It lets you trade players,
send em back to the minors, bring em up to the majors, and create them.
First let's start with the Create-A-Player mode. Well, the title really
tells you everything, but I'll give you hints to create a great player:
1.) If you have a player struggling at his position, and you don't have
very good backups at his position, create a player at the struggling
person's position.
2.) Don't make your team full of created players.
3.) If your created player is struggling, throw him into the minors.
4.) When you go to the screen where you get to decide if he's strong,
fast, etc., look at what your team really needs, and make him strong in
that category. Example: If your team has 5 stolen bases at the all-star
break, make your player very fast.
5.) Don't make your player 3 years old!!
Now it's time for signing/releasing players. Before you sign them, make
sure they're doing better than the player you're releasing. Also,
remember to sign a few created players here and there. I really can't
think of many more hints, but you're probably not gonna sign/release
players that much.
Now for trading. When you're about to trade, first think about the main
people you're trading. Let's say you had Andy Ashby, but he wasn't in
Cy Young form, but he was still okay. Let's also say you saw that Greg
Maddux was doing awesome, and was having a tremendous year. Well, what
you should do is first write down Andy Ashby in one column, and Greg
Maddux in another. Find out if the computer will trade with you. If
not, and it'll probably not, either override that decision or find out
another great player having an okay year like Tom Glavine. Well, then
you'll be trading Glavine and Ashby for Maddux, which isn't a good deal
for you. So then think of a okay minor league prospect, and put that in
the column with Glavine and Ashby. Well, now it's an even worse deal
for you, so in the column that has Maddux put down a pretty good player
like Ryan Klesko. So then try to trade Ashby, Glavine, and a minor
league prospect for Maddux and Klesko. But before you try that trade,
try taking away the minor league prospect. If the trade works, be happy
at what you're getting. If it doesn't, it still is a good deal even
when giving away a minor league prospect. Anyway, use those tips to be
successful at trading. Also, if you've made up your mind that you're
definitely gonna trade people and override any rejected ones, be sure
to check out my best lineups and starting rotation. Use a team similar
to that one to easily win the World Series.

10.) Home Run Derby
=======================================================================
This is really a lot of fun. For those of you who don't know what a
home run derby is, well, listen up. The home run derby is when all
you're trying to do is hit a homer. It's either a homerun or an out. If
you don't swing it counts as nothing. You get to choose how many outs
and players you play with. There are an equal number of players from
the American League as well as the National League. After one round is
completed, the four best, two best, or the winner goes on to the next
round depending on how many players you chose. If you chose two
players, the game is over. Anyway, in the second round, whoever gets
the most homers goes on to the third round. If you chose 4 players in
all, the game is over. In the third round, whoever gets the most homers
is the winner. Now some tips:
1.) Try to get under the ball a little bit.
2.) Always use powerful players.
3.) Wait for a pitch you can cream; there are no balls/strikes, and
unless you swing, it counts as nothing.
4.) DON'T BUNT!! (Even though you can't).
5.) Find out which field your player is good at hitting to, and hit it
there.
6.) Find out the power alley (the shortest part of the ballpark), and
try to hit it there.
7.) Before you take your swing, tap B to put the Power Swing Mode on.
Get under the ball, and you'll homer a guaranteed 6 out of 7 swings.
Okay, we're done.
=======================================================================
11.) Statistics
=======================================================================
You should always pay attention to statistics. The main statistics are:
Pitchers:
Wins, Losses, ERA, Opponents Average, WHIP, Innings Pitched,
Strikeouts, and Walks.
Hitters:
Batting Average, Homeruns, Hits, Slugging Percentage, Doubles, Triples,
Strikeouts, and Walks.
Fielders:
Errors, Assists, Putouts, Double Plays, Triple Plays and Fielding
Percentage.
Now it's time for me to tell you what the statistics mean:
Pitchers:
Wins - How many times a pitcher gets the win in a game.
Losses - How many times a pitcher gets a loss in a game.
ERA - Earned Run Average. How many earned runs you average per game.
You divide Innings Pitched by Earned Runs given up.
Opponents' Average - Hits yielded divided by at-bats for opponents.
WHIP - How many base runners you average per inning. (Walks + Hits)
divided by Innings Pitched.
Innings Pitched - How many innings you pitch.
Strikeouts - How many strikeouts you pitched. (DUH)
Walks - If you don't know the answer, you don't know how to play this
game. It's how many walks you pitch.
Hitters:
Batting Average - Hits divided by innings pitched. It tells you, in
decimals, the percent of times you get a base hit. Example: If you're
hitting .343, you get a base hit 34.3% of the time.
Homeruns - How many homers you've hit.
Hits - How many base hits you've got.
Slugging Percentage - Total Bases divided by At-Bats.
Doubles - How many doubles you've got.
Triples - How many triples you've got.
Strikeouts - How many times you've struck out.
Walks - Go ask your mother. How many walks you've got.
Fielders:
Errors - Every time you bobble the ball or something.
Assists - How many times you assist in getting an out.
Putouts - How many times you're the last player in a play, which
resulted in an out.
Double Plays - When you get two outs in one play.
Triple Plays - When you get three outs in one play.
Fielding Percentage - The percentage of you not getting an error.
Finally, I'm done with these obvious things. Let me tell you something
about statistics. Stat, Inc. makes the best stats for games.

=======================================================================
24.) NChipperJones19's Best Starting Lineups
=======================================================================
I am going to give you two lineups, on with the DH and one without,
starting with the one without.
1.) Roberto Alomar (2B) - CLE
2.) Chipper Jones (3B) - ATL
3.) Ken Griffey, Jr. (CF) - CIN
4.) Alex Rodriguez (SS) - SEA
5.) Mark McGwire (1B) - STL
6.) Mike Piazza (C) - NYM
7.) Sammy Sosa (RF) - CHC
8.) Barry Bonds (LF) - SF
9.) Pedro Martinez (SP) - BOS
Well, the best 2B is Alomar, and he's really fast so I put him leadoff.
Chipper is the best 3B, and he can run okay, and has great power, so I
put him 2nd. A-Rod is definitely the best SS, and he can hit, so I
could put him either 3rd or clean up. I went ahead and put him Clean-
Up, and so Griffey, Jr. would hit 3rd. He is probably the best hitter
in the majors right now and he's only 31. Big Mac does have lots of
homers, but I thought A-Rod could put up better numbers, so I put
McGwire 5th. Piazza or Sosa? PIAZZA. He has an awesome average, many
homeruns, a ton of RBIs, and he's 31 years of age. He is great, and
he's better than Sosa. Next, of course is Sosa. Walker or Bonds? Bonds.
Barry has more homers, more RBIs, more runs, and more Stolen Bases.
Last, is Pedro.
1.) Craig Biggio (2B) - HOU
2.) Chipper Jones (3B) - ATL
3.) Ken Griffey, Jr. (CF) - CIN
4.) Alex Rodriguez (SS) - SEA
5.) Jeff Bagwell (1B) - HOU
6.) Manny Ramirez (RF) - CLE
7.) Ivan Rodriguez (C) - TEX
8.) Larry Walker (LF) - COL
9.) Rafael Palmeiro (DH) - TEX
I'm a NL guy, so I needed some help for this one.
[email protected]
and I still made a good lineup with the DH, though. For Biggio, he's
awesome, so I had to find room for him. If you are going to be an AL
team, and you'll use the DH a lot, I recommend you using Biggio for the
times when you're w/o the DH, and use Alomar for the times with the DH.
For Jones, check the lineup w/o the DH to find out why I put him as the
2nd place hitter. Okay, Griffey usually hits 3rd, so that's where I put
him. A-Rod would be good hitting clean up at an AL park, because he has
lots of experience doing that. Bagwell might be a worse 1B than
McGwire, and even though McGwire had 70 HRs that '98 season, I had to
put Bagwell in there. If you are an AL team though, and you have the DH
most of the time, put McGwire in there and put Bagwell in a lineup w/o
the DH. What's left? Catcher, Left Field, and Right Field. Well, I had
to find a good right fielder in the AL, so I picked Ramirez. The RBI
king is GREAT. Okay, who's the best AL Catcher? Duh. Pudge had an
awesome year last year. I had to let Walker have a chance, but I also
had to put him 8th. Palmeiro is, of course, the best DH in the game. I
had to put him in because he deserves it. He was second in the AL in
HRs, behind some unknown guy named Ken Griffey, Jr.
Well, I guess that's it. Now the best starting rotation. Decisions,
decisions...

1.) Pedro Martinez
2.) Greg Maddux
3.) Randy Johnson
4.) Roger Clemens
5.) Kevin Millwood
Well, Pedro Martinez is the best, so I had to put him first. Then comes
the hard part: Maddux, Johnson, Clemens, Millwood, or Brown? Well, I
had to put Maddux because of all of the groundball outs and Ks he gets
and because of his awesome ERA and WHIP. The reason I didn't pick
Johnson is because he walks a lot of batters. The reason I picked
Johnson over Clemens is because both of their weaknesses are that they
walk too many hitters, and I think Johnson has better stuff. Okay,
you're probably wondering why I picked Millwood over Brown. Well, Brown
has awesome stuff, but Millwood held opposing hitters to a major
league-best .202 average with a 2.68 ERA, while Brown had a 3.00 ERA
and allowed 210 hits. Overall, Millwood is AWESOME. And in ASB 2001,
you would like him on your team.
