Re: Da Astros
When you guys sign players to contracts at the end of the year do you sign some to long term cheap contracts (prospects is mostly what I'm referring to) or do you try and stick to some kind of real contracts? I'm about to hit the off season tasks and get into my new season so I was just curious.
For example in a previous franchise I signed Singleton to a 10 year 20million dollar contract or 25 million something like that. Is that cheesy or just taking advantage of a young kid who has no idea.. or fair game because god knows what he would require after 5-6 years of progression..

Re: Da Astros
50-112? yikes.....that's beyond hideous man lol...not that im surprised with that AAA lineup they run out there every day....i was very pleased by *Milk Carton never seeing the MLB again* note lol....only thing that can top that is *Milk Carton never seeing The Show 12 again* lol.....10 homers from JD the entire year? no wonder ya won only 50 games....i cudd be wrong but i think his ratings took a hit in the latest update...and that ratings boost for Castro really helped huh? lol...same thing happened with Schafer in my franchise....he couldn't get it going at any level whether it was starting or the bench.....at least your rotation in AAA was killin it along with Sanchez...very encouraged to see McCullers starting off his career on an upswing
To be honest I don't know what to do at a couple positions for year two. Previously Singleton was MLB ready after one year, but with the hit his ratings took in the new rosters he isn't even close. Even with max progression (I think) after one year he is worse than he started at in the old rosters I was using.Comment

Re: Da Astros
Yea you are telling me it was hideous.. it was hard to watch even though I was simming haha. Had I played to a record like that I would probably retire from baseball video games. I was quite surprised by Castro's power numbers, and rather disappointed with J.D.

Re: Da Astros
so we're talking increasing the budget by 6 million to start out with .. ouch. I think I'll continue signing players to long term deals.. its not like the short term deals for vets are cheap or anything lol..Comment

Re: Da Astros
RT Contact - 44
LT Contact - 38
RT Power - 46
LT Power - 24
So if the max progression is 6 (I think I could be wrong).. it is going to take him a long time to reach the level he was after one year with previous rosters.
His numbers in the opening day roster were as follows..
RT Contact 72
LT Contact 66
RT Power 59
LT Power 51
I'm not saying those are right either I just think he took a big big hit.. and I don't really think it was warranted. He is hitting .273 this year in real life with 13HR and 52RBI in 86 games..Last edited by IK720; 07-16-2012, 07:20 PM.Comment

Re: Da Astros
Yea I mean with a 60 million dollar budget its rough. Especially with the largest budget increase you can get is something like 10% or something isn't it?

Re: Da Astros
Well he is going to have to be I guess. The thing is I don't even know if another year at max progression would get Singleton to MLB level. Here are some current attributes of his to show you what I mean..
RT Contact - 44
LT Contact - 38
RT Power - 46
LT Power - 24

Re: Da Astros
I hear ya.. I don't think he'll be starting opening day 2013 unless you edit him to be honest. I think Correa could be the starter in 2013 with where his numbers start. His contact and power base for scott's rosters are higher than Singleton after one year progression (for all contact and power numbers).Comment

Re: Da Astros
nah im not gunna touch any ratings...if it takes Singleton a bit longer, so be it....last thing i wanna do is get antsy and rush him up when he's not ready..i've always been a Wallace supporter anyway....perfect situation for him to show what he can do for a full year then move him to 3B if/when Singleton is ready....For Correa, imma let him marinate in the minors till at least 2014 (hopefully)....gunna try to keep him at both minor league levels for a year each and see how it goes
I'm currently going through the first off season.. the first one takes forever lol.. so many people to sign.Comment
