    Re: 1999 Classic Roster

    Wow, yeah some of these heights/weights quite off lolz. Mark McGwire is listed at "215" pounds. Bonds is listed at 185? Hahaa. I just googled that stuff and McGwire was 250 and Bonds was over 200.

      I really didn't guess on the weight and heights of the guys. I was using multiple sources. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/team...p?y=1999&t=SLN They have McGwire at 225 here. Barry Bonds was 228 so yeah that was off. I posted on the front page that I got some of the guys from the vault and the guys making the all time classic roster so depending on when they made them their weights might have differed. I tried to double check them as I went through but clearly some things were missed.

          It works. How much different is this than the first one you put up?

            Baseball-almanac is a good source at all, but the height/weights listed are usually at the beginning or end of someone's career. I'll use Adam Dunn for example 6'6 285LBs at present. In the early 2000s Adam Dunn is listed at 6'6 240. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/play...php?p=dunnad01
            All I'm saying is for a historical roster does it make sense to list them at current weight/height given that other categories such as speed, accuracy are affected? Another example would be Adrian Beltre he is listed 220 now, was 170 pounds in early 2000s. Both guys have gained about 50lbs between the 2003 season and now... according to 'Baseball Register's 2003 edition'. Scott Rolen is another guy I'd like to bring up. 6'4 226 around the 03 year, 6'4 245-250 with the Reds last season. Russell Branyan 6'3 195, to 6'3 230 lbs right before his 30HR season in Seattle. Sammy Sosa is a pretty good example for this as well.. listed 6'0 185 on baseball-almanac? Hhahaha 2003, 6'0 220 LBS. Not that it really matters a whole lot... But it is interesting to see heights/weights by season no?

              It doesn't differ at all actually lol. Cant remember who it was but someone uploaded my roster with a few fixes. If you searched the vault you would be able to find it fairly easy.

              Yeah I get your what your saying. I just checked theshowrater that I used and it had better weight. Which the funny thing is I got the height and weight both from theshowrater and baseball reference. Some seem to be a bit off but what are you going to do? Obviously I could have spent a little more time fixing them but I wasn't really concerned about that much for the weight. But back to McGwire and Bonds. What weights were googled? In game I have 228lbs for Bonds so I take it you found he was 185? I just googled his weight by year and it said in 1999 he weighed 210. In my roster McGwire is listed as 235lbs, so Im not sure where you got 215 and 250? But weight and height don't affect the ratings ie speed and accuracy as you asked. Weight just makes their body look bigger or smaller. But I think weight could easily differ 10-15lbs from site to site.

                I got the 215 weight for McGwire under nomo's showrater, I'm not saying your stuff is wrong... McGwire's weight of 250 for 2000 season is listed as such in Cardinals media guide of that same year.

                  Hey man, I'm not sure how to erase a double post otherwise I would do so. http://www.comc.com/Cards/Baseball/2...cGwire/2377028

                  I don't mean like speed/game-wise I just mean real life. Dunn ran more often when he was younger, so his speed should be higher when he weighed 240 than the game currently has him at for being 285lbs. Dunn had 19 stolen bases in 2002, never again...

                    Yeah I get what your saying that sites list the same weight from one year for their entire career. But yeah it would have taken a lot longer to go and find everyone's weight one by one so I used baseball reference Nomo's rater and some of ootp 13. OOTP 13 seemed to have more realistic weights but some of their numbers were off. Yeah that's true about the speed in real life. No way he will steal 19 bases. Heck he might not get on base 19 times all season with all those homers and k's getting in the way.

                        Nice! Yeah they both are good but I love Johnson. Started a playoff mode with these and Johnson has 2 games started 17 innings 28k's 0 runs and I believe 6 or 7 hits. He is a beast.

                          Im not sure if it was your 1999 roster I downloaded but when I played yanks and giants I found a lot of numbers wrong and jeff Kent's mustache was missing. Overall it was a fun exp.

                            Thanks! Not sure if it was mine because im looking at Kent and he has his moustache on my roster. If you downloaded it from sterling2010 then its the right one otherwise it's someone else's and they might have made changes to it. I will agree though some of my numbers are off. Should have double checked them on baseball reference but spaced it off.

                                I was looking through the vault and there were two people that I saw that uploaded my roster. One guy didn't spell 1999 out fully he put 199. The other guy Jros22 made updates to the roster and I have talked to him so you might want to check his out for updated numbers and such.
