Which Abreu are We Getting?

Not sure if you've already answered this but I noticed on the recent roster update that Jose Abreu was added to the roster and on the spreadsheet you mentioned you've already completed making him. Are you still going to be importing a custom version of Abreu or does this mean you're going to scrap the already created one and just leave in the one included in the roster update? Personally I think you should import the one you have because I feel the ratings the developers gave him were a little low, I know he's a bit of a work-in-progress but I think they gave him like contact in the mid-50's and power in the mid-70's if I remember correctly whereas I think he deserves mid-60's contact and power around the range of high-70's maybe low-80's. Thanks and can't wait to use these rosters.

The power numbers they gave him is actually exactly what I rated him. His contact is probably a little low, as his plate vision and discipline, but I'm sure they will bump him up a little if he keeps up his current performance for the first few months (they've done this with Cespedes, Trout, Harper, Fernandez, and Puig when they were added in roster updates in past games). I imported the SCEA version into my set and edited his equipment to be accurate.

Re: White Sox 2014 OSFM

Also, because I brought it up in the Billy Hamilton speed thread, I hope you got Micah Johnson at 98/99 on speed/stealing. Or at least 98/98. The guy no one outside of Sox fans know of, and yet he stole over 100 bags last year.

Believe it or not, but from what I have read about Johnson, he is nowhere near the same level of speed as Hamilton. He's very fast, but not the fastest player in the Sox system. I've heard Keenyn Walker and Engel are actually faster in a foot race. I currently have Johnson at 76 (with stealing at 76 and aggressiveness at 84). I wanted to go a little higher, but looking at all the 23-24 year olds in the game it looks like SCEA rated upcoming speedsters at 76, which would probably put him around the mid 80's in his prime. After looking at the ratings for this year's game, a good portion of my ratings had to get bumped down to match the game.

I just wanted to say thank you for putting in the time and effort to do the roster for the Sox I know it's time consuming and I look forward to playing with the Sox when you're done

Re: White Sox 2014 OSFM

Are there any players on the Sox that you feel are over or underrated?

Re: White Sox 2014 OSFM

Just checking in. This list is no longer accurate and most of the players are done, I am finishing up on a few surprises to the set that I think most of you will appreciate, and then I still have a quite a few faces to complete (been taking my time on the guys that actually matter first). I've been slammed at work (12 hour days all week) so my time is very limited to work on the set. Hoping to have this done sometime by the end of the week, probably closer to Sunday because this week is not looking very promising as far as free time goes. Some, well actually a lot, of players potentials have changed since I've been looking at how the game rates players. Some B's have become C's and some C's are now D's. I did this after comparing these prospects to legit prospects in the game. Obviously if anyone disagrees, the beauty of this game will allow you to change it to what you see fit.

Thank God! haha There are definitely more deserving arms

I'm really looking forward to seeing some of these surprises now! Thanks for all your hard work! You the man!

Haha, I was just coming here to joke around that his power needs to be 95 and his clutch should be 90. Haha. But for real, the guy is incredible. I am sure whatever SCEA made for him is too low.

Dude is a monster. Anyone have a good stance for him? The stance they gave him in the roster update looks like it would be pretty decent for T-Flow.

Re: White Sox 2014 OSFM

CWSpalehoseCWS I hope Scott Carroll control is around the late 50's to 60's area .He defintely has better control than erik johnson who was sent down to AAA yesterday.

Re: White Sox 2014 OSFM

Abreu now leading the MLB in HR and RBI....and both of which are all-time rookie records for April already. LOL, but he isn't rated as highly as Cespedes....

Any changes to the roster you plan on making in your franchise?
