Happy to see you back on the project for another year TNK! Sox system is looking good, I didn't think the Kimbrel trade hurt them nearly as much as everybody else seemed to. Excited to have him and Price in the fold this year!

What're your guys thoughts on Moncada and how he'll look in this roster? Clearly the #1 prospect in the organization and on the best in all of baseball so that clearly warrants an "A" potential. However, he's still an A/AA guy so his overall can't be terribly high. Yet, SoxProspects projects him to be with the big club next year. My question is basically, how do you give him a realistic overall in the roster but make sure he see's the progression that's expected of him? A 20 year old jumping from AA to the Majors in one season seems hard to replicate in the game unless he's given an absurd overall to begin with.

He is rated A

Sorry, TNK. I think I phrased my question poorly. I think its a given that Moncada deserves an "A" potential. My question was more about what his overall will start at given that he's only played A ball so far but projects to be in the majors next year. If his overall is 65-67 he likely wont make the ratings jump in franchise to justify a big league spot in 2017. But if he's a 73-74, he'll light up AA ball and thus hurt the realism. So my question is essentially, what is his overall going to look like?

Thanks for answering and thanks for all the work you do with this roster and your sliders.

Great news! Out of curiosity, will you be adding full Triple A & Double A's teams? And do you plan to focus Single A players to the players in high A ball? Thanks for doing this every year!

Need help with the roster? Just curious as to what your thoughts are on the roster!

Great to see you back at it again this year. Always an excellent job. Like last year I will drop in every now and then with stance & equipment suggestions if I find something.
