Just thinking that since we can carry franchise seasons over from mlb 14 to the new game, if it lets you still export players out like last year, it should save all you guys a lot of work

The list is not set in stone, so some guys may drop off or be added if the Sox make any additional moves. I'm only going to add potential ratings for guys that will need to be created. I usually am pretty hard on prospects when it comes to potential, and I use multiple sources for determining a player's value as well as comparing them to similar players within the MLB: The Show series. If you want to change the potential of a pre-existing player, you will need to do so yourself; players are left "as is" in the initial set. The List A Potential - 1 B Potential - 5 C Potential - 17 D Potential - 13 F Potential - 0 Players listed in GRAY will be included in the game. Players listed in RED were in previous versions on the show, but since removed. Players listed in BLACK will be created for OSFM. Starting Pitchers 1. Chris Sale 2. Jeff Samardzija 3.

Sanburn, Ynoa, Micah Johnson, Trayce Thompson are all a higher potential

Nah... Sanburn maybe, but the rest no.

Johnson and Thompson are closer to 45 FV, so utility/4th OF types (C/C+). The former has a higher upside than the latter IMO

Even though the White Sox want to try Sanburn as a starter, he probably goes back to relieving (injury history and small stature) if he makes it. In the bullpen he can be a 7th/8th inning guy, so I say he's closer to a C+

Ynoa is a big question mark and he has potential, but you can't deny the numbers have been less than stellar so far.

Remember that potential can always change so its better to err on the side of caution. For example, we were discussing Spencer Adams earlier in the thread - his ultimate upside is probably #2 starter (high 80's) but his realistic upside is #3 or even #4 and he is rated as such. That way he can still hit his ultimate upside, hit his realistic upside, or even fail to reach that. Set him too high and the range of outcomes changes.
