Re: OSFM 2015: Chicago White Sox

I can help with faces if needed.

Re: OSFM 2015: Chicago White Sox

That would be great. I have to admit that I haven't really read up too much on the 2015 game, I'm assuming that we can't transfer rosters (just Franchise and RTTS saves) and we'll need to create all these guys over again...

I have a lot of the bigger name guys already created in MLB 14 and their faces are pretty darn spot on, so I can hopefully just copy those settings into the new game if needed.

Yeah, I believe only the career stuff is transferable to 15. At least this year, we won't have to fix some of the faces going for the 3 to the 4, especially the beards. Some of those looked funky when they transferred.

Re: OSFM 2015: Chicago White Sox

Also...

Samardjiza #29, Melky #53, LaRoche #25, Robertson #30. Surkamp needs a new #, because I see him making this club out of spring as another LHRP.

Haven't seen anything on Bonafacio yet. Assuming #64 for Bonafacio since Eaton has #1.

Totally forgot they got their numbers already, lol. I'm going to leave Bonafacio blank still until his new number is official.

Re: OSFM 2015: Chicago White Sox

I contributed a bit to the Chicago White Sox OSFM last year. I created around seven guys or so. I wanted to contribute more but life got in the way. I'd be glad to help out again this season, hopefully more than I did last year.

Here's some suggestions on the 90-man roster:

Drop-

RP Kevin Vance (released)

2B Daniel Wagner (released)

LF Michael Earley (released)

Add-

SP Brandon Brennan

SP J.B. Wendelken

RP Adam Lopez

There's other players you could add instead, but those were the main three that stuck out to me. I could make a list of other possible additions if needed.

White Sox re-sign Michael Taylor. They also signed Andy LaRoche

Just added LaRoche and a few others to the list. I can't find any type of press release for Taylor, but I saw he was apparently re-signed by them on BA last night.

Re: OSFM 2015: Chicago White Sox

When do you think Montas will transition to relief? I know Hahn just recently said he'll remain a starter for now but from what limited footage I saw from the AFL it looked like he had a hell of a time controlling his stuff. Switching to relief bumps his potential up by at least 5 IMO.

1B Chris Jacobs was signed to a minor league deal as well.

I don't know if he'll bump anyone off the 90-man roster, seeing as how he's 26-years old and has only played a couple of dozen games above A+ ball and has been terrible in that limited sample size.

Interesting to see the addition of 3B Andy LaRoche. He was no doubt signed because he's Adam's brother, but it could be another year of a crowded infield at Charlotte with Andy Wilkins, Dan Black, Micah Johnson, Leury Garcia, Tyler Saladino, Matt Davidson, Andy LaRoche, and Juan Diaz all potentially headed for AAA.

Everything I've read, the Sox are going to keep him there until he fails. They usually keep their younger pitchers starting to give them the chance to work on their secondary pitches. I've seen a few outside reports as well that lean towards him being able to remain a starter. But you are right, he has some control/delivery issues, so this upcoming season will really determine where he falls on the prospect rankings. I'm holding out that he remains a starter. Personally, I think his potential should range anywhere from 84-86 (currently set at 84) and that's due to his stuff being nasty and projection as a #3 starter. His knees are actually what worries me the most. He missed time last year to both knees being hurt at different times.

Either way he's really exciting to have in the system. I have him as the third best prospect, with Adams not far behind. Speaking of Adams, what would you give him as far as potential? I've tried comparing him to some of the younger pitchers already in the game, and it seems like the 80-82 range would be perfect for him.
