2012 OSFM: Arizona Diamondbacks

[BatsareBugs]

Hi again everyone, I initially intended to post the Padres and Diamondbacks in just one thread, but I felt it'd be too jumbled or too long of a post for people so I decided to split them up. Like the other thread, feel free to discuss any rosters and such about the Arizona Diamondbacks. The MLB level roster will be spot on, but prospects will get the nod over minor league fodder when necessary (so some AAAA players in Reno will be skipped over for AA or AAA prospects because of the lack of room presented by Non-Roster Invitees):


Currently working on:
- Adding minor league players to replace any NRIs that leave: Done
- Gameplay test AA and AAA (10 games total, 1 for each starter): Done
- Sim statistics test: Done

NEW!
- Keeping track of player movement and updating the spreadsheet to reflect roster and lineup changes.

*The Roster file is ready to be handed off for faces*

Progress:
Player Information - 100% completed.
Player Ratings - 100% completed.
Batting Stances and Pitching Motions - 100% completed.
Player Equipment - 100% completed.
Faces - GreatNorthern47

Re: 2012 OSFM: Arizona Diamondbacks

I'm thinking about moving up Michael Perez's rating to a B or so. The D'Backs farm system drops off after their three starting pitchers, but I think they do have some hidden gems here and there (obviously not the deepest system).

I'll be making a lot changes to this roster set.

Re: 2012 OSFM: Arizona Diamondbacks

Just some changes to the MLB 25 since I saw a lot of errors on it. This roster is assuming that Stephen Drew is ready opening day.

MLB 25:
Lineup:

vs RHP and LHP (The lineup will pretty much stay the same.)

SS Stephen Drew
2B Aaron Hill
RF Justin Upton
C Miguel Montero
1B Paul Goldschmidt
LF Jason Kubel
CF Chris Young
3B Ryan Roberts

(Kubel DH's, stays in the same slot, Parra in LF batting 9th)

C Henry Blanco
1B Lyle Overbay
INF John McDonald
INF Willie Bloomquist
OF Gerardo Parra


Rotation:
RHP Ian Kennedy
RHP Daniel Hudson
RHP Trevor Cahill
LHP Joe Saunders
RHP Josh Collmenter


Bullpen:
CL J.J. Putz
SU David Hernandez
SU Takashi Saito
MR Craig Breslow
MR Joe Paterson
MR Brad Ziegler
LR Bryan Shaw


For Prospects: Switch Skaggs with Corbin. Blum will be in Reno if Drew is healthy. Everything else looks fine to me.

Re: 2012 OSFM: Arizona Diamondbacks

Oh and here are the pitches Trevor Bauer throws. Really good stuff here.

Re: 2012 OSFM: Arizona Diamondbacks

Thanks for the feedback. The D'Backs lineup is a bit complicated since they have players that can fit just about anywhere. However that lineup you put up makes the most sense, but I'll have to keep tabs during ST where people fall in.

So Corbin will be repeating AA? I figured that since he had almost three times more work put in at AA than Skaggs, that he'd get the nod while Skaggs starts off the year in Mobile, then should get promoted as early as mid-May if he continues to pitch well.

Corbin is most likely headed back to AA. I don't think he proved enough to get a promotion. Skaggs was just toying with AA hitters, sending him back to AA would be pointless. There are many pitchers ahead of Corbin on the depth chart in terms of who gets shots at a ML start. In order: Skaggs, Bauer, Miley, Enright, maybe even Charles Brewer.

I think their lineup will look like this...

Drew - SS
Hill - 2B
Upton - RF
Kubel - LF
Goldschmidt - 1B
Montero - C

Roberts - 3B

Yeah Kubel and Montero are interchangeable. I don't really know where Gibby is going to go with that one. We'll see in ST.

Re: 2012 OSFM: Arizona Diamondbacks

I'm just bringing this up. On the first post you'll be able to keep track of my progress with the roster. I will be posting up a google doc spreadsheet at the top to keep track of the roster and player movement within and to and from the organization. I will also be posting pictures every now and then regarding the whole 90-man roster, and player appearances.

Expect this thread to blow up during the month of March. I will be making a trip to Phoenix from March 22 to April 3, so I will need to knock out all player information, ratings, equipment, and stances/pitching motions before March 22. Although I am not in charge of player faces for this team, I will try my best and TheGreatNorthern47 can correct it if any faces are off.

Re: 2012 OSFM: Arizona Diamondbacks

I finally made the lineup changes. Based on split stats, Miguel Montero should get the nod at cleanup against righties while against lefties, Jason Kubel could be the cleanup hitter.

Skaggs has been moved to AAA, Corbin down to AA, Blum to AAA, Manzella as the starting AAA SS (lineup will be adjusted soon). Also, Michael Perez moves from being on the bubble to Single-A and will be a B. Ryan Budde moves off the list into the bubble.

PLEASE NOTE: The Google Document spreadsheet should be up tomorrow. Once I post it up, all lineups and pitching assignments will be moved there. The first post will only include updates and pictures.

Re: 2012 OSFM: Arizona Diamondbacks

The link is up for the spreadsheet.

Re: 2012 OSFM: Arizona Diamondbacks

So what's the deal with Robby Hammock? Minor League Baseball has him listed as a free agent, MLB.com has him listed as signed with the Diamondbacks (yet his player profile is just on mlb.com, not on the D'Backs team website) and he is nowhere to be found in the Diamondback's organization.

I'm thinking of just plopping him onto the free agency list, but what do you all think?

[BatsareBugs]

Re: 2012 OSFM: Arizona Diamondbacks

I got to work on some of the players. I'm a bit meticulous when it comes to these things so that I won't have to make too many adjustments later.

All the catchers have been completed and only one first basemen remains. I will probably turn my attention to the Padres tomorrow to keep the two teams even, but I had hoped to post a picture or such of my progress but it's already late so that will have to wait.

Players Added:
Craig Tatum from FA3 to AZ
Konrad Schmidt
Ed Easley
Rossmel Perez
Ryan Budde
Michael Perez (I did the best I could with this guy, there aren't any pictures or videos of him)
Bobby Borchering

Progress: (NEW!)
Player Information - All Catchers Finished, 75% Through 1B
Player Ratings - All Catchers Finished, 75% Through 1B
Batting Stances and Pitching Motions - All Catchers Finished, 75% Through 1B

Will you be uploading a roster to the vault or something? Cuz I would love to get those equipment changes you have when your finished.

Re: 2012 OSFM: Arizona Diamondbacks

I might, I'll be sending the rosters I think to TheGreatNorthern once I'm done with them.
