How is the 'lite' computer version? It's a real good price .. does it have stat stuff? The web site is pretty un-helpful. It looks like the 'full' version does roster management and the rest, which is nice, but for $20 instead of $50 you could leave it off. I really enjoy playing with cards and dice, but I'm a big stat guy.. and having the computer do that for ya is a big plus, IMO. You know, there are tons of free stat calculators online. That's what I use for my games. My biggest flaws as a stat keeper are knowing how errors effect the earned runs against a pitcher.

I'm doing all the stats by hand. You can on the pc with strat roll the dice yourself, and manually input the rolls as you play the game so it does the stats for you. I'm only doing batting average and ERA at the moment, later I might add in on base and slugging %. All you need is a calculator.

I have the scoresheets you can buy from Strat. Really helpful and it makes figuring up stats at the end of the game really easy. Plus, it's fun to flip through old results.

I certainly can do the stats... I have plenty of variations of spread sheets for it that do the team totals and leaders and whatnot... it's just that it takes a fair amount of time, even when you have it set up really well... and I like to spend the time playing instead What I like is to play the game, then have the game give me a nice box score to look at, and update the stats, so I play another game.
