Strat-O-Matic using projected 2020 player stats in season simulation

Strat-O-Matic, the company that is staging the simulated 2020 Major League Baseball season in which Redleg Nation is participating, is using projected 2020 player statistics as the basis for each individual player profile.

This differs from the presumption this author has had all along that 2019 actual statistics were in each player’s performance profile card. (Much more on this below.) The presumption was based on your author having played the game for several seasons many years ago, and for each season, a new set of player cards was issued based on each player’s actual statistics. For example, a game released in 1984 would have been based upon statistics for each individual player’s 1983 performance — the most recent full season.
