Hey knight did you get a chance to make the lo cap or could you give me some info on him

Re: Operation Sports Full Minors '09 - Discussion Thread

I didn't hear too much negative feedback so I'm assuming that you guys liked the first roster update I sent out (Knight's OS Full Minors)...It actually looks like it's one of the more popular rosters on the vault so I feel blessed.

Here's my thoughts on an update:

For this one, I'm trying to get the lefty/righty splits more accurate. I've gotten skilled enough to realize how to get guys in a particular spot in the lineup (in franchise) but now I want to get accurate ratings vs. LHs/RHs...

Guys like Minnesota's Jason Kubel can rake against RHs but does nothing against leftys while CLE's Ryan Garko (or used to be CLE :wink kills LHs but not so much the rightys.

It takes about 1Hr/team so it's a lengthy process but it will hopefully make gameplay better by seeing the LH/RH matchups out the bullpens.

I'm also working on the plate vision/discipline ratings as well so this should be a good & accurate little update.

If there's guys that were prospects that were traded from one team to another that isn't on the initial roster I'd be a huge help by giving me a heads up (if you could post MiLB stats, info, picture and if you can show a link of his stance/motion).

this sounds brilliant. any word on when you will be releasing them?

im waiting for a good post deadline set so i can start my season, and your update to knights roster derfinitely looks like its oging to be the best out there.

Re: Operation Sports Full Minors '09 - Discussion Thread

With the non-wavier trade deadline today I have a question. I use Strut's roster updates but I was wondering how do I make these trades? Since I can really do one for one? I really only play exhibition and some games online. Any suggestions?

I hope you partner up with Knight and the guys next year, good work on the last rosters you completed. I'm still using them.

Josh Bell (Ex-Dodger now Orioles) CAP

I just recently downloaded Knights roster and I was updating the trade that sent Sherrill to L.A for Josh Bell & Steve Johnson. Johnson was on the 40 man roster but not Bell, I am absolutely horrible at creating caps for players I was wondering if someone had one for Josh Bell
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Operation Sports Full Minors '09 - Discussion Thread

Josh Bell
3B
Bats:Switch Throws:R
6'3" 235

RT C 42
LT C 40
RT P 44
LT C 42
Bunt 12
Drag 4
Vis 38
Dis 54
Clutch 60
Dur 80
Speed 38
Arm Strength 76
Arm Acc 72
Reaction 40
Fld ability 50
BR Ability 40
BR Agg 14

This one is a little fast and loose.
I know you guys want it for the trades.
He's still playing 3B...but his fielding and speed and lack of good foot movement may make him a 1B or COF.
The kid has tremendous power potential though.
He's lost 30 pounds and his swing is improved.
He has a good eye...but still K's too much....a product of trying to swing for the fences I believe.

Hope this helps.

The Cardinals have Matt Holliday hitting lead-off on my Franchise. Any tips to like, move him down?

Thanks!

Except for Pujols, make sure he has more overall average power than anyone else on the team. A player can have more power against LHs or RHs (like on my updated roster, DeRosa has 80 power against LHs but 65 against RHs while Holliday has 75+ in both catergories so he has the most overall power).

It's hard to explain, but usually the player with the most overall power hits cleanup, except if that same guy has the highest contact average then he hits 3rd and the next guy with the most power hits cleanup. (Sounds confusing but after 50+ hours it makes sense to me .)

Sound about right, Knight?

Yep.
1.The AI looks for best overall hitter 1st(power +contact)...3 spot
2.Then for the best overall contact guy(usually second spot...unless he has the best speed rating...then leadoff)
3.Then for the most speed(usually leadoff....unless there are guys close in speed and one has clearly more contact)
4.Then the next best power(cleanup)

Don't think of speed as SB's....it has little to do with that....that is all BR AB and BR AGG
