Bacon's 2016 Roster

[Bullit]

Re: Bacon's 2016 Roster

I personally voted for default salaries.

As great as the roster is, accurate salaries just don't work. The game itself is not designed for them to work. I simmed thru the first year with these rosters and the economy of the game crashed, hard. Not a single team had an increase in budget for the next year. With 30 team control it took almost 3 hours to get thru the offseason because no team had enough money to sign players. NY, Boston and LA couldn't even sign coaches. When all was said and done every team was at a minimum -2 million or more for the next years budget.

This is all of course just my test run, and my opinions. But I just feel I can't play with any roster that has "accurate" salaries and enjoy the game. It just does not play the way I enjoy the game. Honestly if I were going to though, these would be the rosters I would use, they are absolutely brilliant and some of, if not the best, work I have seen in the roster community.

Thank you bro. I really appreciate it. This roster is all of my hard work paying off! I'm still thinking of possibly using the default salaries but I'm also going to run a test franchise to see how it pans out.

I would be interested to see how yours pans out. I would be happy to sim another 30 team for your if you would like to compare notes?

Re: Bacon's 2016 Roster

what rating calculator do you use?

Re: Bacon's 2016 Roster

what rating calculator do you use?

Great question! I actually made my own. I basically made everything and did everything that needed to be adjusted in this roster... As for the calculator, it's not as fancy as others I've seen but it is what it is. I could post it in the spreadsheet if anyone else would also like to see. I also made adjustments based off of sample size and other things. I'd also like to note that not every player was edited based on my scale. I didn't use a calc for minor leaguers either. I just adjusted as I felt needed to be edited but those weren't major changes anyways.

All changes can be tracked on the spreadsheet in the page called 'Changes.' I update the spreadsheet as I update the roster so they are as accurate as eachother.

Re: Bacon's 2016 Roster

The stats I used to assign attributes for my roster are now in the spreadsheet. They're in the pages labeled 'BattingCalc' and 'PitchingCalc' for those interested. If anyone has any other questions, feel free to ask here or send me a PM.

Re: Bacon's 2016 Roster

I looked at some players and got confused.

1. I don't have a problem with Harper being a 99, though it is based on one year, I do have a problem with Mike Trout. First, I don't know how you got that contact rating against RHP at 72! Trout's 3-year split is .304 against RHP, and he batted .295 against them last year. Also, I don't agree that Trout should have a potential of 98, like he's over and done with at age 24, no more potential, reached his peak and done at 24.

2. McCutchen with a 99 potential and Trout at 98 is another thing I just don't agree with.

3. King Felix going into his age 30 season and last year was nothing to show potential of 98.

4. I don't see the justification for Heyward being 96 potential and Rizzo just 86.

5. Nolan Arenado with a potential of 82 makes no sense to me.

6. I don't see where Corey Seager should have a potential of 99. Is he supposed to be more productive than Mike Trout? Well, according to MLB.com, " Seager has a higher offensive ceiling than any big league shortstop except for Carlos Correa." You can view that under MLB.com/Prospects.

7. I fail to see where Rosenthal should have potential of 85 when Jansen has 93.

In my opinion, no prospect should be rated a 99 potential.

I haven't looked at the entire Roster, far from it, just a few players here and there.

I do appreciate your effort to do this, just expressing some things here, especially Arenado, King Felix and Trout, that you may want to take another look at.

First off, thank you for all the critiques. I will address them all and actually already adjusted a few already. So, I wanna start with saying that potential isn't exactly their peak and in franchise it can/will change based off performance. Secondly, Trout has a 72 contact because according to my own calculator, a player needs to hit .326 against righties to be rewarded a 99. I'm not just going to give 99s away to anyone who hit .300 even if it's Trout. Also, newer roster updates have adjusted potential. Ex: Rizzo 91, Heyward 86, Cutch 97, Trout 99, Arenado 92, Jansen 88. Hernandez is one of the best pitchers in the game and just because he had one down year doesn't mean his career should be on the decline so there is now way he gets a B potential especially because he'll be 30 soon. As for prospects, I'm not entirely sure how I want to do that. Probably just have all the top guys (Seager, Buxton, Giolito, etc.) topping out at ~95.
