Re: White Sox 2014 OSFM

It's getting around that time of year again, so I might as well get this thread started for when OSFM starts up. I actually worked a lot on some of this over the winter, but I usually re-rate everything once the game gets released. At least it's a starting point though.

I'll be re-editing this first post with the prospect list and their grades and I come up with it. Players will be moved on or off the list as the Sox make the standard spring training roster moves.

Re: White Sox 2014 OSFM

I'd also like to see Chris Freudenberg and Tony Bucciferro. I've heard nice things about them.

Chris Curley also has good numbers for a SS.

Re: White Sox 2014 OSFM

I was kind of hoping Zapata would make it and stashed on the single-A squad as opposed to someone like Tony Pena Jr. It would make playing franchise more fun when you get to the point where he could come up and make an impact.

Re: White Sox 2014 OSFM

I was kind of hoping Zapata would make it and stashed on the single-A squad as opposed to someone like Tony Pena Jr. It would make playing franchise more fun when you get to the point where he could come up and make an impact.

I'd love to add Zapata, but there are 2 problems with him.

1) You can't create 17 year olds in the game.

2) He's never played any form of organizational ball in the U.S. There isn't any stats to go off of other than scouting reports.

I wouldn't worry too much as to who's listed right now as far as fillers go. Some of those guys will be released before the season starts and I'll have to replace him. The reason I put those bad, filler-type players in the set over low level guys is because the Sox system, while greatly improved this offseason, is still pretty bad. You need to feel like there is a lack of depth at certain positions. Plus no one really wants a bunch of high/low A guys playing in Charlotte, do they? If room opens up Zapata may still make it, but it would be me totally guessing at his ratings.

Curley is not really a prospect. He's 25 in High-A, so if he was included, he'd get a D potential. I think his performance last year is based off more his age/level than actual skill. Plus he never even got a sniff of Double-A last year, which shows you what the Sox probably think of him.

I'll have to read up of Freudenberg and Bucciferro. Chris is the only one of the two I'm actually somewhat familiar with.

I really don't know if those guys would bump anyone off at the moment. Cose probably has the best chance because he has the best chance to start in the higher levels, but that K/BB rate is not pretty right now. Mitchell is a real possibility too.

You dont have to include them in your roster upon release.You can just upload them in the player vault.I believe the white sox have depth in (inf,of,rp).Hahn has done incredible job in the past 8 months improving are minors.Just hope we can trade dunn and de aza before spring raining.

Re: White Sox 2014 OSFM

Of your ratings, I actually liked almost all of them. Only things I would change is....

Jason Coats I change from a B- to a C+
Courtney Hawkins I'd change from a B+ to an A-
Micker Zapata (I think he just goes by Micker Aldofo now) from a B+ to a B.

I think the only thing Hawkins did last year was lose a year of development. I think he still has skyhigh potential. I wish there was a secondary attribute that went along with the potential, like Ceiling % or something, because then I would have kept Hawkins potential at an A+, and instead lowered his likelihood of fulfilling his reaching that potential. Like down from 30% to 20% or something.

But I find most of those pretty good. I can't wait to use Abreu. I wonder what you plan to make his overall to start the year. I said in another thread I would hope he would start at about 83.

[assclown25]

Re: White Sox 2014 OSFM

That's an issue that I have with rating these foreign players, I understand they perform well in their respective countries but it's not the same level as the Majors. As I feel like guys like Tanaka, Abreu and others will have good if not great careers I feel that any ranking over 80 is way to high in their 1st yr.

[bigleaguechew]

Re: White Sox 2014 OSFM

I hope they can trade Dunn. Then they could platoon De Aza and Paulie in the lineup.

Beckham 2B
Nieto C
