How Do you figure out the endurance rating of a pitcher?

[Red_Sux]

playing the strat-o-matic game. they have there catagories for drafting a pitcher:

Name - the player's name
Tm - the team the player played on in 2001
End. - Endurance rating (see below)
W - Wins
L - Losses
S - Saves
IP - Innings Pitched
H - Hits Allowed
ER - Earned Runs Allowed
BB - Walks Allowed
SO - Strikeouts
ERA - Earned Run Average
WHIP - Walks + Hits allowed per Inning Pitched (average)
BAL - Balance rating (see below)
Buy For - the player's salary. Click on it to add him to your roster.

Explanation of Endurance ratings:
"S6" means the pitcher can start games, and in general he can go 6 innings before being susceptible to tiredness.
"R2" means he can be used in relief, and in general he can go 6 outs (3 x 2) before being susceptible to tiredness.
"C6" means he is effective as a closer, and he can pitch for at least 6 outs before being susceptible to tiredness. It is recommended that a pitcher have a closer rating of 3 or higher (6 is highest) in order to be effective in save situations.
If a pitcher has an asterisk ("*") next to his starter rating (i.e. "S7*"), he can start on only 3 days' rest. All other starters must rest for at least 4 days between starts.

Explanation of Balance rating:

This rating measures how much more or less effective the pitcher is against left-handed batters versus right-handed batters. It ranges from 9L (much better versus lefty batters), to E (even versus both sides), to 9R (much better versus righty batters).


other stats are avaliable online. is there a easy way to find out the endurance rating for a pitcher using espn stats....or other free sources online?

[Red_Sux]

for a hitter, there are couple of stats that are pretty hard to get:

like the range and arm variable...i donno how to get those data.

Name - the player's name
Tm - the team the player played on in 2003
B - if the batter is a lefty, righty, or switch-hitter
P - if you're searching through all hitters, this is the player's primary position, the position he played most in 2003. Other positions he may play are listed on his player card page, which you can view by clicking on his name. If you're searching through a particular position, all players who are eligible to play the position are listed.
Def. - Defensive rating at the position listed (see below)
AB - At Bats
2B - Doubles
HR - Home Runs
RBI - Runs Batted In
BB - Walks
SB - Stolen Bases
BA - Batting Average
SLG - Slugging Average
OBP - On-Base Percentage
OPS - On-Base Percentage plus Slugging Average
Ij - Injury rating (see below)
BAL - Balance rating (see below)

Explanation of defensive ratings:

All position players have a Range and an Error rating. Outfielders and Catchers have an Arm rating which is represented by a number in (parentheses) between the Range and Error ratings.

Range: from 1 (best) to 5 (worst).
Error: represents approximately how many errors the player would commit over a full season at that position. Thus, the lower the better.
Arm: from -5 (best) to +3 (worst).

Examples:
Ichiro Suzuki is RF 1(-5)e2. In right field, he has excellent range, a cannon for an arm, and he hardly ever commits an error.
Alfonso Soriano is 2B 4e20. At second base, he has poor range, and commits a moderate amount of errors.

Explanation of Injury Rating (0-6):

This rating indicates how likely the player is to get injured in a game. It corresponds to the dice roll on which his injury event occurs on his card. Most full-time hitters have a rating of 1 (rare injury). The few players who played every single game of the season have a 0; they can't get injured. The maximum rating of 6 is applied to the most injury-prone players.

Explanation of Balance rating:

This rating measures how much more or less effective the hitter is against left-handed pitchers versus right-handed pitchers. It ranges from 9L (much better versus lefty pitchers), to E (even versus both sides), to 9R (much better versus righty pitchers).
