Operation Sports Full Minors 2012

[Knight165]

With pitchers and catchers ready to go....so are we brethren of baseball.
I will leave the recruiting page open until at least the Sunday before release, on the chance we can fill the remaining teams with some editors, but I want to go ahead and open up this thread for discussion about the actual roster set.

To start....here is a link to the updated work chart

These are the links to the updated player charts(by potential)

You'll notice that the base ratings on the lower end of the chart are hiked up from last year. It should make for better playing minor league games as well as more "useful" players to call up.

A few things ...

EDIT:
There is no longer a need to match age to the player you are creating. You can use any (potential you want) player and edit his age....the service time for contract control and Rule V resets to match the age you edited now.

If you are unsure on whether a player is an A or a B...or C...go with the lower.

Use D players as the career minor leaguers and don't worry about their rating(as far as progression).....if you feel he is a 35 contact hitter but a 65 power....do it.

Also.....you'll notice the low end of the charts is 20-25 for the most part. If you have a player severely lacking in any part of his game....you can certainly put the rating lower than that. The only exception I would make on that is contact and fielding(ability)

Error on the low side of speed.(especially the REALLY slow players)

Remember for pitchers...../9 numbers increase with progression. All of them.
...BUT...set your individual pitch ratings to MLB LEVEL. They do not move(control does....but only per 1).

Any questions...ask them ....and I'll do my best.

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ARE PARTICIPATING!
I cannot tell you how good it is to have everyone's help.

Awesome! I know what I'm doing tonight...

Knight, do you know what the cutoff date is for when we should make a player a certain age? Last year was somewhere around January 28th (if I'm not mistaken).

Hmmm...I don't remember.
What do you guys think?
A little later in the year?

Also, if you see something that looks like a mistake in any of the charts...let me know.
I was doing some of them at work(re-adjusting them) and was interrupted quite a few times(that pesky alarm!).....and then coming back to it. I looked them over, but you know the old "tunnel vision" saying.

Thanks!

I just assume go by the last date they update the rosters before they ship the game. So anyone born after, say January 30th, doesn't have what age they will be later in the year. Anyone born from January 1-30th gets that extra year tacked on.

Hey Knight,
JW, but why is it that sometimes the "1 year away" rating is a few points higher than the actual "MLB Rating"? Thanks

I never re-adjusted the MLB ratings...that's all.
Thanks for reminding me.
There was a slight change in the sim numbers as well that we noted when there....so I have to change the MLB ratings up a bit.

Man...thanks for making me look!
I was one column off from the start on 3 charts so far!
Updating now....
(guess that will teach me to try and do my work at work!)
(I believe the links update to the page automatically, so no worries with those)
Thanks again..

Just so we are all on the same page, when we are talking about "years away" it is the number of years from their peak, not the number of years from their debut, correct?

For example, a guy like Mike Montgomery from the Royals will likely play in KC this year, but he is still (IMO) 3-4 years from his peak. Last year I aligned the ratings based on this "years from peak" number...
