Have you talked to Thegame8455 or whatever he is called about his calculator?

I haven't, but I've seen his work, and his calculator.

Much respect to him.

I approached things a bit differently.

Cool. Just thought you may want to chat with him as far as certain ratings were done. Are you doing a pitch edits as well or just using whatever OSFM uses

All AL teams are done. I'm working through the NL: ATL, MIA, WSH, FLA and LAD are done. A quick breadkdown on the ratings and the proces: Hitting and Fielding -Contact ratings are based on AVG -Power ratings are based on ISO and HR% -Vision ratings are based on K% -Discipline ratings are based on BB% -Clutch ratings are based on FanGraphs clutch rating system -Durability ratings are based on the league average games played per MLB season (102 games) for all position players, and then adjusted for catchers. -Minimum durability for rookies is 80. -Minimum durability for all other position players is 70. -FanGraphs fan scouting reports was used for speed and arm strength ratings, or 20-80 scouting reports if none were available (often the case for rookies) -Fielding ratings (arm accuracy, reaction and fielding ability) are position specific; catchers, infielders and outfielders are all rated differently. -RDRS (Baseball Info Solutions Defensive Runs Saved Above Average) is factored into the calculations, which makes position specific adjustments. Pitchers -Per 9 ratings are based on the per 9 statistics. -Stamina is based on innings/appearance -Clutch is based on FanGraphs clutch ratings -Pitch repertoires are up to date as of last season. -Pitch ratings are based on the last 3 years of pitch data available -Pitch control is based on strike percentage, with an adjustment for pitches that were thrown out of the strike zone and missed i.e. pitchers will benefit from those strikes -Movement is based on whiff% -If a pitcher’s primary pitch is a sinker, it remains a sinker -If a pitcher uses a sinker but it is not his primary pitch, it is listed as a two-seamer. This helps sinkerballers stand out. -Brooks Baseball's pitch descriptions were used to influence what pitches were used.

I assume SPD means speed. You have Moncada with 99 speed and Buxton with 84 speed. I think that could be reversed! The only reason Buxton was caught stealing last year was because he over slid the base. Now, that isn't the reason I personally consider Buxton with 99 speed and Moncada with 84 speed. Of course, you could start a poll and see what other people think about the speed difference between Buxton and Moncada. Me? I say Buxton is faster than Moncada. If Moncada is 99 speed, Buxton should be, in my opinion, 114 speed.

You're right


Moncada should be a 71 speed, just fixed that in my own file

An early look at the first franchise-ready team. One down.
