Re: Full Minors Roster for '09

If I can make a suggestion, Knight, thanks for all your hard work first off...

Is there a way for you to put a link in your sig to the latest roster update file? I know when I first came on here it was nearly impossible to find...

Re: Full Minors Roster for '09

Thanks so much Knight.

At first glance Shafer (70) Vs. Kelly Johnson (84) speed wise seems odd. Is this part of the lineup fix tweaking?

Yes.

Thankfully(in this case for the lineup fix)...speed has little to do with actual base stealing and I can control that through the baserunning attributes. I have Jordan faster than Kelly....but that would put him lead off.
If the Braves would just accommodate! ....I could go to the real rating.
You guys are just going to have to give me some leeway on the ratings for the lineup fix.
Once the patch is in...and I release the stock set and my own ratings adjusted set.....then you guys can slam me!


Jackson...second position 1st....got it.

Thanks Maynard!......just the tip of the iceberg!

Re: Full Minors Roster for '09

Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up. I know you plan on releasing a roster without the lineup fix but have heard that you will leave it with SCEA's exact attributes aside from the players you've created. It'd be a shame to not be able to benefit from everyone's hard work and research on attribute edits of current players just to not have the lineup fix. Don't know how hard it would be to post up a fully edited roster JUST minus the lineup fix.

Thanks again

Re: Full Minors Roster for '09

Great "test" roster Knight, it looks like your final will be very nice. In an attempt to contribute, I'll give you what I know about the Buffalo Bisons (Mets AAA) roster right now, as the Buffalo News just ran a good overview of the team today, and I'll be going to opening day tomorrow and can add any other changes I notice.

Buffalo Bisons

Pitching Rotation:
Jonathon Niese
Dillon Gee
Nelson Figueroa
Casey Fossum
Brandon Knight

Relievers:
CP- Eddie Kunz
Elmer Dessens
Kyle Snyder
Connor Robertson
Eddie Camacho
Carlos Muniz
Ken Takahashi

Position Players:
C- Robinson Cancel (Salvador Paniagua was listed at Bisons.com, but has vanished)
1B- Nick Evans (Michael Abreu)
3B- Rob Mackowiak
2B- Argenis Reyes (Andy Green, Jonathan Malo)
SS- Jose Coronado
CF- Cory Sullivan (Jesus Feliciano)
RF- Jesus Feliciano (Fernando Martinez is the starter, but is DH because of injury)
LF- Bobby Kielty (Jason Cooper)

I saw that even in the early roster you were extremely close with the Bisons, so I hope that this can be some help. After tomorrow I can at least give you the batting order and any holes or players that have been dropped to AA. Once again, thanks for the awesome roster.

Hey Knight amazing Rosters!!!!!!! It's like the highlight of my year!(I know that's sad ) Not trying to sound demanding but just wondering if Brett Cecil will be in the final roster for the Jays? Thanks and keep up the good work.

Re: Full Minors Roster for '09

This is really impressive work. The level of attention to detail is amazing. And to think that this is just a teaser . . . wow! I had to run a test game last night and pitch with Trevor Cahill and put off my nightly CSI:Miami rerun with the wife. I think the full minors are going to be bad for my marriage, Knight.

Is the file on page 144 the one everyone is talking about right now?

Re: Full Minors Roster for '09

Awesome work Knight - now I know what the fuss has been all about!

Just one quick change that I'm going to make for my White Sox that I thought you'd be interested in. John Ely, who Baseball America rates as the Sox #8 prospect, is not in this set. Here's his scouting report:

8. John Ely - 6'1, 190, 23 years old, RHP
Background: In his first full season as a pro, Ely skipped low Class A and struggled initially, going 3-11, 5.51 through mid-July. But he rallied to go 7-1, 2.86 in his last eight starts, helping Winston-Salem reach the playoffs. He has a history of winning, going 69-25 dating to his days as a star at Homewood-Flossmoor High in the Chicago suburbs.

Strengths: Ely's best pitch is a plus-plus changeup, and he does a nice job of setting it up with an 88-94 mph fastball with good movement. His 12-to-6 curveball can be an out pitch at times, too. Ely works fast, throws strikes and has never missed a start. He's a fierce competitor and fields his position well.

Weaknesses: Ely's curveball remains inconsistent and gets hit a long way when he hangs it. He sometimes seems reluctant to work inside, minimizing his advantage against righthanders. He lacks a big frame and a traditional delivery, and there's a lot of effort in his delivery.

The Future: With a solid rotation and prospects such as Aaron Poreda and Clayton Richard ahead of him, there's no reason to rush Ely. He'll move to Double-A Birmingham and could figure in midseason trade speculation, especially if the pitchers ahead of him continue to progress.

Thanks Knight. Can't wait for the full set.

Re: Full Minors Roster for '09

Hey Knight/Strut/Razr,

I tried to go back through the thread to find the answer to this, but it was a little confusing...hoping you can help me out here..

The most recent roster file you posted, does it contain Razr's pitch edits? This is extremely important to me because if that is in this set, I can go ahead and start my franchise, as I feel I can add in the Stances/Equipment edits that Strut is gonna do, and I play with the Red Sox, so I don't need to wait for the rest of the teams to be finished...

Again, just to clarify, are Razr's pitch edits in the roster set you posted?? And if not, then roughly when do you think they'll be in?

Thanks so much in advance!!

Re: Full Minors Roster for '09

Did you guys hear that Nick Adenhart was killed in a car accident late last night? It's being reported by TMZ...

Terrible, just terrible. Not sure if this is the forum for it, but saddening news nonetheless.
