JUDGE GRIFFITH: 1960s AIM DRAFT MANAGER, 2020 version
Designed for draft only replays. AIM only.

Installation Instructions:
Judge Griffith consists of the following four files:
	
        MgrJudge.lib, MgrJudge.mob, MgrJudge.msy, MgrJudge.dct

You must copy or move each of these four files into your BBW directory or folder. You may place the files into a season sub-directory or folder of BBW but Griffith will only be available if that season in loaded in League Manager.

If you are using APBA 5.75 then the four above files must be placed in a folder named "MicroManagers". That folder is locates separately from the location of the game and is usually located here (the wording might be different depending on the operating system you have):

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\APBA Games\Baseball\MicroManagers

Again, the files must be placed in the above "MicroManagers" folder.


			     GENERAL OVERVIEW
Judge Griffith is identical to Juice Rogers EXCEPT that he does not consider a rotation. Any and every pitcher that is NOT benched will be used in relief. Griffith differs from 68 Griffith in his small ball and bunting strategies (more conservative and less oriented to that poor offensive season).

So you must bench your rotation with your f-files.

Griffith judges closers by grades. "Normal" type closers usually have an adjusted grade between 14 and 16 while "super" type closers will have adjusted grades of 17 and higher. Super closers will be used more aggressively than normal closers (Note: Adjusted grades are grades plus control ratings).

If you've got multiple closers (determined by the above standard grades), Griffith will likely use a bullpen by committee approach using all of the closers. He'll usually save the top rated closer and spot use the other closer types as setup guys. 

Other Areas:
Difficult to give much details here as many of his strategies such a PHing or stealing, et cetera are based on the type of players/roster he's given. This version is a bit more aggressive trying to manufacture runs - PHing, bunting guys over, et cetera - than Rogers. Not greatly so but it may be noticeable in certain situations.

JG has a blowout sub strategy, likes to use itchy relievers in lopsided games for a batter 
to remove their itchy status, et cetera.

A good test to see how he manages is to run him with your team for a good 30-40 games in LM. You should be able to get a good idea as to how he manages.
