Smoak and Seager should be switched, I'm more worried about Ryan being a C potential again, last year after adjusting his defense to what it should be he was a B+...

Interesting.
Where did you see his potential in the screen caps?

And when you say he was a B+, do you mean his potential or overall went up to a B+ after the defensive adjustment?

After adjusting his defense he ended up a B+ overall because defense is weighted heavily at SS in The Show, haven't seen what he is for '13 yet.

Hey Sean, How quickly do you think a full Seattle farm system roster set will be out? And also, is there a way to get a roster set with the entire Seattle farm as well as the top 100 prospects without waiting a month for the full OSFM?

Took about 4 weeks last year so not that much of a difference.

So I've been messing around with potentials and the editor recently and here's a few changes:

Gabriel Guerrero B+ Toned down from an A-, don't think he'll hit enough

Francisco Martinez B- After moving him to CF his skills played way up, even as a .270 hitter with 10-15 HR's

Stefen Romero B+ Too much hitting ability, his eventual move to a corner keeps him from being an A- since defense doesn't matter at any of his projected positions

So its looking like 4 A's and 14 B's, 6 which are B+'s... I think that's still near the top, have to check with the other teams.

Sounds about right... In a perfect world, for me...

LF - Ackley
2B - Seager
3B - Romero
C - Montero
DH - Morales/Morse
1B - Smoak
CF - Gutierrez
RF - Saunders
SS - Franklin/Ryan

I would love to see that by mid-season... I realize it's unrealistic to move Ackley (especially considering how well he played 2B last year), but man, I like that lineup a lot better. My hopes for Romero are pretty sky high. I can see him being a .300 hitting machine with a bit of pop (20+ HR's) for years to come.

Hard to imagine Guti sticking around past next season. He's best friends with Felix and that might be enough to keep him around, but he'll have to tear the cover off the ball this year and have a season reminiscent to 2010 if he hopes to be signed again. He's making 5mil per year right now, good for 2nd highest on the team. That's too much for a guy that can't play 90 games a year in center field.

If Guti jets, Ackley might move to center where he played all through college. Seager moves to 2B, Romero to 3rd, and there you go.
