Current List of Free Agents in MLB 13 The Show

[chrisjohnson83]

There was a roster update yesterday (02/25/13) but lots of changes weren't reflected from quick glance . Seen Jason Giambi still a free agent even though he signed with Indians on Feb 16

Thanks for posting these. Will anyone try and sign Seizmore in their franchise mode? I'm thinking about doing it. Hope he stays healthy.

How did Oliver Drake make it in and why is he so good?

Yeah, that's weird. He's never thrown a pitch in the majors.

Not liking these new ratings.

[rudyjuly2]

It seems that every sports game always has guys rated way too high on the free agent list. There is a good reason why many of those guys aren't signed - they just aren't that good anymore. Valverde an 87? No way.

Three year weighted average and the playoffs don't impact the ratings...

Quite.

Take last years playoffs out and Valverde has converted 110 out of his last 118 save opportunities.

You know how many other closers have bettered that in those same last 3 years?

Absolutely nobody.

Dont get me wrong i lost no sleep as a Tigers fan when we let him go but dont let one ALCS meltdown distort the fact the guy is a very good closer and has been for a long time, antics and all.

When you lose it, it's quick. Ask John Rocker, Wild Thing Williams, Steve Avery and Jose Mesa

Michael Bourn is not a 91 rating player. Way too high. He should at the most be an 85 or 86.

Weird that Joel Carreno is a FA when he's never left the Jays system...

Really? He's fast, outstanding outfielder, consistent hitter and he's one of the best lead off hitters and a good all round player. I can see why they rated him a 91

Re: Current List of Free Agents in MLB 13 The Show

If he is still a free agent looks like I'll probably sign Scott Rolen to fill the hole at third for the Braves post Chipper. That will give me a year or two for some of the younger guys to develop or acquire a third baseman via trade, draft, or free agency.

I remember SCEA did this with previous roster updates in the past. I believe this has something to do with 40 man rosters on teams being full, but I could be wrong on this.

Why are the overalls so inflated???? Contreras an 85? Wow.

Consistent hitter? In the first half of last season he was God offensive and the 2nd half he was one of the worst hitters in baseball. He's not that good of a hitter overall and 150 plus strikeouts as a leadoff hitter with few walks is not a good leadoff hitter. He's a career .272 hitter. That really screams great leadoff hitter. I'm one of the few Braves fans that wanted no part of re-signing Bourn and I'm so glad he's gone.
