Your Cardinals roster has no centerfielder. Musial wasn't one. It's either Jum Edmonds , Terry Moore, or play the carom off the wall. And an active roster without Lou Brock? Are you Cubs fans? I won't be a regular on this site.

We always appreciate fan feedback and we have adapted several rosters based on suggestions we've received, as long as the stats back it up. I disagree with your "Cardinals roster has no center fielder" statement as we have Ray Lankford (1138 games in center field) and George Hendrick (752 games in center field) both on the 40-man roster for St. Louis. Hall of Famers Stan Musial (331 games in center field), Chick Hafey (280 games in center field), and Lou Brock (115 games in center field) are also qualified for CF according to our simulation software - Musial actually has the highest defensive rating of any of them in center. As for Lou Brock, we run into this issue occasionally with iconic, franchise-beloved players because our sim looks at every player's best three consecutive seasons and averages them to isolate their peak. This can favor players with incredible career surges over long-term sustained excellence. For Cardinals outfielders, their peak OPS ranks them like this: Musial (1.084), Hafey (1.024), Medwick (.994), Lankford (.936), Clark (.935), Slaughter (.890), Hendrick (.832), Brock (.792). Defense, base stealing, lefty/righty splits and positional versatility matter too, so while Brock has earned an outfield spot on St.Louis' roster, there are seven players ahead of him (at least by OPS) for playing time. That's not meant as a slight to Lou Brock - more a testament to the incredible depth of the St. Louis roster. It was a close call, but in this sim Jim Edmonds is allocated to the Los Angeles Angels.
