Mentoring
Re: Mentoring
What mentoring system is your league using? (owner/league info/league rules)
A link to your depth chart could be helpful as well.
It could be an issue if you have developing pitchers in your lineup.

Re: Mentoring
Not sure how to find that out, sorry. But here's my depth chart: http://www.simdynasty.com/depth.jsp?teamid=138464
Re: Mentoring
Mentoring impacts how many improvement chances your players earn. It does not impact performance. It does not impact conversion percentage. The difference between d+ and b- on a pitching staff is probably 8-12 chances per year. At 20% to 33% you are looking at missing between 2 and 4 conversions per year per player.
Re: Mentoring
So to improve those chances, I should look to find a SP with a high mentoring attribute?
Re: Mentoring
As a general rule of thumb, you should try to have a red letter Mentor:
1 in rotation
1 in bullpen
2-3 in starting lineup
1-2 on bench
A catcher that is a good Mentor will add to both your lineup *and* your pitching staff Mentor score.

Re: Mentoring
Ballmark gives a good outline of how many mentors you should have at a minimum. Pickup a decent mentor for your bullpen, and drop Gamboa to the minors. He's too young to be riding the pine in the majors.
Your goal should be to have at least a C+ mentoring grade. If you can't quite get there for one season, and wind up with a C, it won't kill you, but don't let it continue into a 2nd season and beyond.

Re: Mentoring
I asked about catcher mentoring previously and I thought the answer was that a catchers mentor value applied to his fellow hitters only and a catchers range and arm were better indicators to his help with a young pitcher.
Re: Mentoring
I went back to the guide and it says this..."A veteran catcher has an effect on pitchers as well, with his Range being a big component." It doesn't answer specifically if mentor value of a catcher impacts the SP or RP mentor score.
Re: Mentoring
Mentor value is very important too, although low range catchers don't help that much, even if they have a good mentoring score. Go for a good mentoring catcher with at least a C range and you should be good.
