Re: OSFM 2013: Chicago White Sox

Hey guys, my Reds traded Cody Puckett (LF/2B) to the White sox today for a PTBNL. If you'd like I can upload him to the vault for use in your rosters. If you guys don't want to add him that's fine too, just offering.

I just saw that and was about to ask you if you could. Just PM me when he's in the vault.

#WhiteSox have released P's Leroy Hunt, Keegan Linza, Dustin Umberger, Chris Hanna, Connor Whalen per BA. @KeeganLinza a surprise.

Also, Justin Greene was traded to the Diamondbacks for cash.

Lucky for me I was going to create Hunt, Umberger, and Greene today, so no loss in terms of wasted time.

Does anyone know good pitching deliveries for John Danks and Jake Peavy?

Re: OSFM 2013: Chicago White Sox

Will there be any updates regarding contracts, Chris Sale recently signed a 5-year contract extension in real life but I noticed in-game it still says he's in his final year. Will this be addressed or will we have to change this ourselves?

I believe they can change the years on the contract but not the $$$ portion of it

White Sox acquire Lars Anderson from the Blue Jays for cash. Second time in like a month we've picked the kid up. I like the move tho.

I guess can never have a problem with getting a former prospect with MLB experience without giving up any actual players for. Just hope wasn't too much cash given up.

I just wish we could get an impact left handed bat for the club and then immediately trade Adam Dunn. I can't stand the guy who has maybe the longest swing I've ever seen and can't seem to hit the ball consistantly since coming to chicago

I heard about that yesterday, but I didn't have the time to get on here and post it, plus I already submitted the rosters. I did manage to tell RidinDwnKingsley about it, so hopefully he switches him before the release.

It's pretty interesting. The Sox are loaded (and when I say loaded, I mean quantity, not quality) at 1B. Ruiz, and Gallagher must have been released, because Loman is sure to start at Charlotte, and Wilkins is going to be in Birmingham. You add Bell and Morel at Charlotte, and the lineup starts getting crammed. I really wish they would announce who out of the organization, because I come up with well over 25 guys who should be in Triple-A. Don't even get me started on that starting rotation.

I just noticed this when i downloaded the OSFM, how come Jon Gilmore wasnt included in this years set? Really like that kid.

He got released back in October. Was never going to cut it as a 3B, and injuries really hit him hard the last few years.

Re: OSFM 2013: Chicago White Sox

Minor updates: Randy Ruiz was released, and I found out from Trevor Reckling himself that he will stay in extended ST.

Re: OSFM 2013: Chicago White Sox

So I was talking with a Cubs fan friend of mine who also uses the OSFM rosters every year. We were discussing our minor league players, and we BOTH came to the conclusion that either the Cubs minor leaguers have been WAYY overrated, or the Sox minor leaguers WAY underrated.

Some of the points we brought up....

Albert Almora is an 18-year-old OF drafted in 1st RD of 2012 who reached Low-A short season for the Cubs. He is rated a 74 in the game.

Courtney Hawkins is a 19-year-old OF drafted in 1st RD of 2012 who reached High-A ball for the Sox. He rated a 52 in the game.

The Sox 2nd best prospect, Trayce Thompson is rated a 58. The Cubs 24-year-old prospect who has had injury problems already, and has only made AA ball, is a 71. Soler, is a 75 already straight out of Cuba.

Junior Lake has a B potential, Keenyn Walker has a C potential. Cubs have 6 prospects with an A potential, Sox have 1.

Now I admit the Sox system is in the lower 5 in baseball. But the Cubs system is very middle of the pack. They are around 13-20. How do they not only have SO many more high potential prospects (Tons of B prospects as well), but all their players seem to be a higher overall rating by now as well. I mean, the Sox are sitting there with top prospects in the 50's, and most of the Cubs top prospects are rated 65-75.

And before I hear anything, I am not a Cubs ***** at all. I generally don't even pay attention to them because they aren't relevant to my team. It was just that a Cubs friend of mine brought up to me how insanely well rated his team's prospects were, so we both compared players and agreed that something is way off.

EDIT: Apparently Ha.ter is a banned word?
