This is why we can't have nice things.

Don't let a few bad apples spoil the bunch for the thousands of good apples who love and appreciate all the work (from this year and previous years work that is still paying off)!

Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version” Available Now

Now you're just being silly and completely missing the point. Since I have to spell it out for you.

I am in no way saying Ridin and them knew there would be duplicates and intetionally just said "screw it let them have an incomplete roster"

What I am saying is, don't say they are going to be the best ever and then I start a franchise and the rosters are a mess, not to mention the Blue Jays got neglected like the plague.

Honestly dude. It's people like you that are going to be the reason we don't get an OSFM in the future. Seriously why are you taking this so personal? We have literally had four versions of corrections released since last night with a fifth on the way this evening. What more do you want?

You obviously haven't been using these rosters for very long because we used to not get these rosters for months and now we get the weekend after wide release! I for one am greatful. Half the fun is going through all of the rosters and finding the mistakes and seeing how deep they really are.

I'm going to make 40-man injury/suspension free rosters again for 1.5 once it comes out.

Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version” Available Now

Look I knew the flaming would come haha, I was ready for it. It's fine.

And I'm just going to say one more thing on the subject because it needs to be addressed, since a lot of people are saying some unbelievably false things about me.

I am not entitled okay, I know they're are doing this for free. I know they don't owe me anything and I appreciate everything they are doing, year in year out. They put a lot of time into this project.

Ridin and the crew have done a great job, is Ridin as good as Knight was, no. I use these rosters too like everyone else, every year and this time I had a complaint about the rosters, no need to jump on me.

You could always do your own rosters...

Hahahahah were you even around when knight was here??? Look I love what the founder did but straight up OSFM has been the best it's ever been in the last two years. You are a fool and now your just trying to intentionally get people riled up, not to mention completely get these things cancelled for us in the future... mod just please ban this guy already and get it over with

Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version” Available Now

Ridin, I got kinda caught up in explaining how a proofing process works and forgot to ask: Will William Contreras (Braves catcher) be in V1.5? Haven’t seen him in CAP vault and was gonna give it a shot at making him tonight if y’all don’t have him already.

Apologies in advance for the cluebie question, but does this mean they will not be injured/suspended or they will not be on the roster at all?

Also, would this be better, worse, or the same for RTTS purposes as the injured guys being in single A?

Thanks for your efforts!

Like Ridin said there are very few mistakes compared to previous years. No one said they are perfect but they are the best OSFM ever. Duplicates are hard to spot when you have a million other things going on. You can blame me for that. A lot of the teams with duplicates were the teams I was working on. It’s hard to see when your eyes are burning from lack of sleep, all while sitting at home by yourself working on rosters skipping Easter dinner with the family. Don’t get me wrong I was happy to do it [emoji2]

Great job Ridin and Showtyme, these really are the best rosters to date.

Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version” Available Now

Just joined recently but I have been using these rosters for 3 years now. I wanted to say thank you to Ridin & his team for putting all this together. The work is amazing & the dedication is unmatched.

I do have a question - When you guys do a rebuild, are you using the roster as is & rebuilding through Trades & Farm System or are you doing a Fantasy Draft to start?
Just trying to get different ideas

Thank you again!

Re: OSFM 2018 “Opening Day Version” Available Now

Hey Ridin, I mentioned last night that I would get back to you with any changes that I thought should be made to the Twins roster. I had to wait til the opening day rosters were released by the minor league clubs, but I found a few changes that could be made. I can do these on my own if I have to.


-SP Yancarlos Baez (couldn't find him on any roster) Replace with Brady Anderson (High A pitcher, could see time in AA)
-SP Brusdar Graterol (In Rookie League, definitely won't see action above Low A) replace with Randy LeBlanc (Is in the AA Rotation)
-SP Blayne Enlow (Low A, probably won't see action in AA this year) replace with Cody Stashak (High A pitcher who pitched 6 innings at AA at the end of last year, will get the call if there's an injury)
-RP Sandy Lugo (Was released) Replace with Nick Anderson (made AAA roster in the bullpen)


If you only wanted to change one, change that one. Lugo isn't even in the organization anymore.


-C David Banuelos (Low A, might make High A, but probably not) replace with Mitchell Kranson (High A, would probably get promoted if a catcher was needed)
-SS Wander Javier (Rookie League, definitely won't make it to AA this year. They'd go with Lewis before Javier) replace with Sean Miller (Made AA Roster)
-RF Alex Krilloff (Low A, coming off injury. Baddoo would get promoted before him) replace with Zander Wiel (Made AA Roster)


Again, I can do these on my own if I have to, but definitely replace Sandy Lugo as he was released by the Twins like 10 days ago.


Thanks for everything you guys do, sorry for making such a long list haha.

Y’all did great work and 99.9% are extremely grateful as most probably wouldn’t buy the game each year if not for you guys and the rosters you do. Don’t b hard on yourself for little oversights. It happens. Ever see the issue of the newspapers with giant headlines that said “header header header”? Things get missed even by the best. It just happens and we all (should) just accept it and lend a helping hand and some insights when we can.

Your question actually seems to be a common one, nothing wrong with that. Basically, the injured/suspended guys will still be in the minors when the franchise starts, but as long as you start your franchise in spring training, the CPU will fill out their 25 man rosters with the best possible talent, which will include most of the IRL injured/suspended players.

Also, would this be better, worse, or the same for RTTS purposes as the injured guys being in single A?

I'm not too familiar with call ups/send downs in RTTS, so somebody else would be more qualified to answer this question than I am.

Thanks for your efforts!

Thanks for the support!
