Thank you guys for the hard work! It's like a whole new game now for me. Playing a game with my beloved O's and everything looks and feels so accurate!

If that's the case would it be a bad idea to use these rosters for a fantasy franchise?

just a few things ive noticed while looking through the roster.

1) pitchers H/9 are really low.

2) Alot more people have there righty vs lefty attributes higher than the other as aposed to them being pretty well the same like past rosters.

Im assuming this is to help fix batting averages and from more in depth looks into players split numbers?

1) H/9 depends on the pitcher. There is a wide range. All the ratings can be traced back to ZiPS projections with tweaks here and there for being lucky or unlucky. Run some sims if you're curious how it turns out.

2) These splits better reflect that some guys are really platoon liabilities and some aren't. For example, you are gonna have to think hard before letting Scooter Gennett bat against a LHP late in a game.

I'm not sure I know what you mean by a fantasy franchise, but if you are talking about a fantasy draft, they should work great. Try it out and see if you like it.

2) isn't that the damn truth, even in the last version... Ugh!
But sweet at the same time, not any complaints here
