Inactive Player for a Weekend and Stats (answered)
Inactive Player for a Weekend and Stats (answered)
If I have a player that is not playing one weekend. Should I make him inactive or just leave him active and not batting. The question is will this affect the stats for this playing.
Re: Stats
(note - for anyone reading along, this only applies to iOS devices as android does not have inactive roster spots at this time. )
HEADLINE = this will be a minor preference decision. Stats are not affected as he will not play.

Further Explanation
- Putting a player to inactive status in Team Manager > Team Roster, just means his name will not show up in default starting line up when you create a new game. (if you plan to create a lot of games while player is out, this can save a few clicks)
It is the same as if in Game Manager > Game > Scoring > Starting line up, you simply "removed him" from game line up (i.e., red minus sign) when you start scoring a game.
when a player is not in the "game line up", when you look at stats in Game Manager > Game > Stats (batting or fielding) - he will not be listed as he was not in the game.
If you leave him in the starting line up ( game Manger > Game > Score Game> Starting line up) by just set batting = No, and position = blank, he would look like any other bench player, and be available as a sub, and would be listed in game stats ( Game Manager > Game> Stats: Batting/Fielding ) but with all zeros, as no at bats and no fielding plays. He will not be listed on the scorecard if batting = no.
The player will still show up in team stats ( Team Manager > Team Stats), even when listed as Inactive, as he is still on the roster (to not be in team stats,would need to be removed (red minus sign) i.e. traded,)
- for a player that is going to physically miss a weekend, i just remove him from the game day line up. this differentiates him (absent) from bench players. He will also not show up on game stats. whether i do this by setting him to inactive on team roster or just removing from a game line up. Is truly half a dozen one and 6 the other. more than likely i would just remove him game by game.
- that said, If you have a team web site subscription, there is another factor at work. Team Web sites have a customized setting that you can use to hide or show inactive roster players. If that is a factor, you may want to base decision on that. As i have a team web site, i am more likely to not change him to inactive status and just delete from line up on a game by game basis. Inactive would be more for an injury type player.
