Re: Cubs 2014 OSFM

Just a quick note: When Cabrera was assigned to Iowa they demoted Casey Coleman to Boise's roster. Not that Coleman was much of a candidate for OSFM anyway.

To expand on this...he has left the organization.

Thanks for all the hard work MrOldBoy.

Re: Cubs 2014 OSFM

Worked on the listing I gave on the last page and came up with a depth chart of my own. See what you think.

Re: Cubs 2014 OSFM

I've been checking around and I haven't seen anything on Darnell McDonald. C. Wells is hurt but McDonald isn't on Iowa's roster so that may open up another roster spot for a catching prospect.

Last I checked he was in extended spring training though that may have changed.

Re: Cubs 2014 OSFM

McDonald was said to be MIA a few days ago. On my sheet I gave him as off. I'll update the depth chart once I get back.

Re: Cubs 2014 OSFM

Put together a list of the 90 players I would like to see on the OSFM roster for the Cubs. I did a little bit a research on what level everyone is assigned to this year and who the top prospects are and what not to assign everyone a level for the game. I did not include RF Casper Wells (can just put him in FA for all I care). These are just my opinions though. Hope this helps at all:

MrOldboy,

Please feel free to utilize the OS Cubs community here online to try and help you get the Cubs completed. I myself am not very good at creating players, but I am pretty decent at player ratings research so if there are any players you need rating help for I can try and do some research for you.

Thanks

[MrOldboy]

Re: Cubs 2014 OSFM

A lot of my work is done and I'm inputting it in now. Once I finish inputting ratings the next step is for some sims to see if things play out the way I want.

What I need help with the most are faces. I'm sure knight can get them done or find help once I turn them in, but if anyone wants to make some faces let me know. Basically if they weren't in OSFM 13 or are veterans that are created (Olt, Schlitter, etc) they need faces.

I have yet to start on faces which I'm leaving for last since they take the most time inputting. I plan to transfer over the ones that look good from last year as I already have them on paper (or jpeg).

If you guys have any input on statistical ceilings, years from ceiling, etc go ahead and post them. No need to ask. You can take a look at Kight's spreadsheet too and give opinions on ratings. I look at the thread for sure and take that into account and adjust my own views accordingly since its not just a roster for me. Some of the really young guys for instance are sort of crapshoots with rating projections so the more input on those the better.

Not good at faces, but the latest SCEA roster update included Olt, Schlitter, and Kalish if you need help with their faces.

I'm using those as the base for them since they have service time, but the faces don't look that good in my opinion, at least what I saw of Olt. I'd like to have someone edit the faces on them, but they are low priority for sure.

Re: Cubs 2014 OSFM

Earlier in the thread it was said that you only have 87 or 88 players total, just curius as to who you added for the last few spots and if you were making any extras?

As of now Lars Anderson and Marcus Hatley are taking spots so that AAA is accurate. Perhaps Joel Pineiro if its likely he may get some spot starts down the stretch, but I'll likely leave him out and if knight wants to add him in later in the year when he is actually pitching he can. Its possible he could fill in for some spot starts down the stretch if someone gets hurt and/or traded like Hammel.

If I have time I will make extras, they won't get the full treatment (faces most likely unless someone wants to make them). But I'll try to rate and get their equip/stances done well.

Re: Cubs 2014 OSFM

Have you figured out all the Catchers you will have on your roster?
