Spencer Report

The Report to the Commissioner of the Baseball Draft of an Independent Investigation into the Use of Short-Seasoned Players and Other Simulator Enhancing Manipulations by General Managers in the Baseball Draft, informally known as the Shane Spencer Sucks Report or Spencer Report, is the result of a  investigation into the use of short-seasoned players in the Baseball Draft.

The 409-page report, its full version only available via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the United States Justice Department (do it we dare you), covers the history of the use of players like Shane Spencer-- individuals with great statistics over very small sample sizes, which certain GMs would intentionally draft and put into the WhatIfSports simulator to game it into thinking they were Babe fucking Ruth or something.

The report also advances certain recommendations regarding the future prevention of such practices, resulting in Commissioner DarthIntegral switching from the WhatIfSports platform to Out of the Park Baseball-- a system that penalizes players not meeting certain playing time thresholds-- following the Third Draft.
