Nice. I will be running with the M's myself. The Braves team with Grissom and Lofton should be a blast on the base paths. Factor in that rotation with some power from Chipper, Justice, Klesko, Javy and McGriff and you have yourself a contender.

And don't forget how video-gamish the Rockies were that year. Horrible rotation, but fantasy like power and averages in that lineup!

Yup.

I only have 25 man rosters done, so call ups and send downs will be almost impossible, but for now it's a good start.

Some people may not like this idea, but if you turn injuries off these should take you through one season of sweet, sweet nostalgia

I don't know if it was someone from this site, but a person with the username "Cavalier" something or other sent me a friend request with a message about not being able to download rosters.

I hit accept, but it said request cancelled and closed out before I could respond.

So if it was anyone reading this, now you know what's up.

Also, putting the finishing touches on the Giants as I type this. The Brewers and Pirates shouldn't take me too long, but researching the extra pitcher/pitchers for each team and creating them could take up to a week or as little as a few days.

I'll give more updates since we're in the closing stretch.

So the potentials are correct for the players as well? Even if you only have 25 man this will quickly turn into someone going to edit the 40 man, then bam! Franchise starts

How do I get access to these rosters? Do you need to personally send them to me or what? I would love to start a franchise with these rosters.

I think the last preview release was an AL-only version. You can get it in the roster vault.

Thanks for your work on this, baumy, you awesome man, you.

Well, if you're looking to play multiple seasons (Dynasty) I do regret to inform you that player potential was not a factor in this set. This will obviously not please some people, but at this time these rosters are more fit for a one-and-done type of set up.

Thanks for your work on this, baumy, you awesome man, you.

Haha, nice.

Like I said, if a few people can pick this set up, play a few games, season, etc... and enjoy what I find to be one of the more memorable era's of baseball, then I will be very pleased.

The Brewers are half done as of midday Friday. Hoping to have the Pirates finished Saturday afternoon or Sunday.

It's cold, raining, windy and Saturday. Golf can not be enjoyed and I have already finished my workout.

This leaves me only one choice for the afternoon - Freakin' rosters!
