Yes, a very detailed personal scale, pretty much each attribute has its own scale, I factor in eta, age, 20-80 scale, obviously how well they are playing. I have no favoritism for sure...I mean my braves suck tbh lol. A lot is based on 20-80 scale and I will continuously adjust overalls throughout the year. Just an opinion. ..but I feel as though I have a vast knowledge of almost all these guys...plus I played against a majority of them in college lol. Obviously I wasn't as good as them.

I noticed 2 players on the Twins roster were released at the end of Spring Training. Michael Kohn and Erick Aybar. And how can Royce Lewis get a top 50 tab?

I'm waiting on 50 tabs for now as it's takes time to fix it, there are still about 40 top 100 guys I need to recreate with the tab. I and my mistake on kohn/aybar, they were still both listed on roster and remember checking roto seeing twins symbol next to them but not reading article. Lol. I'll rectify it.

Can't speak for him but I believe generic motions. I don't know other teams players so i cannot confirm 100% but I know the Padres and there are 2 side armers on the MLB team (Makita and Cimber) who had normal deliveries in these sets that I had to make to side winders. Good rosters though in terms of players included and ratings.

No problem I know it is easy to miss a player or 2 with all that you are doing. I'm just appreciative of the fact that you are doing this for all of us. I'm curious how do you determine what players you are going to add to each team's roster? Do you use AAA and AA rosters, top 30 prospects or something different? Again I can't say it enough but thank you for all your hard work!

To get all players up prob 2 days from this exact moment....I will then touch on salaries/contracts as its much easier to knock them all out at once rather than 1 team at a time (took forever last year). I'd say it'll be acceptable in 3 days time but its always a continuously changing game so keep an eye out for more change....I'll still have to add extra players into FA and recreate some of the top 100 guys who currently don't have an emblem. Its a lot of work tbh but the rosters itself should be up and running in 3 days at this point.


Moreover, if you were considering a donation like you mentioned, it'd be through Paypal and my email for it is listed below. Thank you for the compliment.

I start with the top prospect lists....so I find the top rated 15 players normally for each teams that are in A or lower....and try to put them in A obviously. Then i'll go over top 30 list again make sure top prospects in AA/AAA have to be in. Then i'll go to former pros....then AAA players (I may skip AAA) if they never played above A ball but listed in AAA currently. Then fill in roster with remaining AA players.....normally from injuries....You only get about 1-15 guys from true AA...as there are injuries and it forces players to slide down....so AA is generally 50/50 between true AAA/AA guys. In the short term I may have missed 1/2 AAA guys...but they will be created and place in FA as extra players soon enough. I'll be doing salaries/contracts prior to that but i'll guess within a week FA will be Full of extra real players on actual current rosters. (A full list will be posted on the thread once that is up and running).


Side note: Is it true there are only 18 create a players slots? I heard that was the case and if anyone knows if that's a fact or not I'd truly appreciate it so I can plan ahead. Thanks.
