MLB The Show 20: RidinRosters Version 2.1 in the Vault
At the beginning of this week, RidinRosters put out a new version of the Full Minors roster for MLB The Show 20. The RidinRosters Full Minors V2.1 updates are tuning-related:
“It was more corrections, some service time players and more prospects as well as equipment edits [were added].”
However, the other part of Full Minors for many folks is how they play into franchise mode. Well, I waited to post about these rosters until today because tomorrow Ridin will detail one of the more popular ways to use these rosters: 30-team control in franchise mode.
Friday Night I will start Live Stream 30 Team control Franchise, will show how to set up franchise starting friday! Which team do you wanna see as the Franchise team
— Scout Scoops (@RidinRosters) April 8, 2020
So tomorrow night, be sure to tune into that stream if you want a tutorial of sorts on how to set up a 30-team franchise and really get full control over your franchise. 30-team control is not for everyone, but OS folks have embraced it over the years for good reason.
You can also keep up with Ridin and the rest of ScoutScoops here.

Ridin and crew got some of today’s transactions in, like Dustin Peterson to the Angels and Brock Stassi to the A’s - nicely done
I didn’t see Seattle’s Kendall Graveman or the Angels’ Patrick Sandoval - both projected starters
And a few players are listed as if they are on waivers with a “W” like Pablo Sandoval and Chris Davis
Houston created good Caps for both those players

They originally uploaded the wrong file. Go back and get the new one. It has those guys.
But they made Gleyber an 80 hmm I can’t think of a single reason why he should be lower than urshela lol

Gleyber's an 89 in the current Live Roster, but an 80 in Ridin's roster

Changing his position automatically made him 80 rated.

Weird. And we're sure this is the real roster? They don't usually ever touch SDS guys.
Sent from my SM-T590 using Operation Sports mobile app
yup haha SDS had him as an 89
They are not at all what I was expecting
This is right. Still, there's a lot of issues with the roster it seems
what do you think would be a fair rating to edit him to? Maybe like an 85/86 since it will be his first full year at short?
This roster ain't Ridin's. It's got to be a fake one. Take a look at all the teams 40-man roster and tell me if it makes sense or not.
While these rosters are hot garbage, every year the first release usually has a bunch of errors. I would have thought that "working with" SDS would have helped eliminate a lot of this problem, but apparently it's still a problem. I can't believe he'd even release this mess.

Here's another beauty, if you don't like something then change it yourself. Gleyber's rating changed because his position changed. If that extra 8 on his rating matters to you then move him back to 2B.

Doesn't seem like they touched much of anything else either.

I wasn't complaining I was just confused... relax lmao
it is pretty asinine that even errors like Mookie and Bellinger being in single A happen...wtf?

Relax, guys. This is NOT Ridin's roster. I mean the real Ridin. I'm sure he's busy puting the finishing touch on his own roster. Take a long look at all the 40-man rosters. It cannot be Ridin's stuff. It's got to be a FAKE one. Some ying yang pulled a fast one on all of us I bet. Ridin's identity was purely stolen. Shame on this individual who did that. I'm willing to bet my modest fortune on that.
Knowing Ridins work and track record you maybe onto something
Can you advise where the new one is? The only one I see was uploaded at 7:03PM and has the challenges that others have mentioned. Little help?
This made me lol.
I would love to believe that but....he tweeted about it multiple times and Showtyme has been tweeting about it as well

Some of the complaints like 40 man roster’s, MLB players with certain ratings over 100, Gleyber Torres’s OVR rating, aren’t even the Full Minors team’s fault. Of course there was going to be some small mistakes.

He normally comes on this board and makes the annoucement himself. His ID shows up on the left and it says Ridindwnkingsley, and on the bottom it says MVP. I just took a look at his last '19 roster and he presented that version to the gamers himself. You can check it out on the top of this Roster board. I am confused to say the least. When I took a look at this so-called roster, I said to myself Say it isn't so, Ridin !

Rosters for all teams in real life aren't set whatsoever. The game can't magically predict each teams 100% accurate Opening Day roster.
But now what? I’ve seen several players with ratings over 100. What rosters are you going to use for your franchises? The updated SDS rosters? Hope and pray Ridin released an updated roster very shortly? Wait for someone else to come out with a roster?

They dont have to do this
For me Im grateful they do as I like to play the game as real as possible.
Unfort SDS really dropped the ball on rosters this year and Ridin and Crew are doing the best they can with what they have been given.
Yes, Mark Melancon was Braves closer at the end of 2019 but he is not the Braves closer for 2020. Will Smith was signed to take over closer. They didn't pay him all that money just to be a setup man.

OD is not expected to be perfect...but 40 man's? Yes, those should be locked in. Just a quick comparison to MLBDepthCharts would have helped that issue.
I went in, made a few edits to players, fixed the 40 man rosters to my liking and started my franchise. No big deal.
Thanks to Ridin and anyone who worked on these! So very much appreciated here!
According to the Braves depth chart on mlb and fan graphs / roster resource, he's still listed as the closer and the projected closer, and until things change that's all we have to go off of.

If I'm wrong I'm wrong, but I believe when real games play in 2020 we'll see Will Smith as closer. That's the only way that contract even makes sense.
I'm really thinking about just going back to 19. I appreciate immensely the work these guys do, but let's be honest here: all of these mistakes seem so unlike them. And this promise from SDS, hyping this HUGE deal of having "full minors" right out of the box was an outright lie. None of this adds up. I know there are some slider makers here that belittle anyone with an opinion or insights/observations other than their own, but this 1.04 game update changed some things. Pitch speeds are a mess to figure out. Porting 19 rosters into 20 has caused name glitches to appear (for players now missing). 20 has so many good things, but 19 was also an outstanding game. I really believe SDS is pushing Diamond Dynasty so hard now that the reality is the rest of the game doesn't matter much. I know some here will read this and label me - I'm fine with that. But the roster release tonight is something all of us really look forward to, especially in light of all that's going on right now. I would easily have waited another 2-3 days for them to get some things right - with a few tweets (as they do a great job of communicating) about the mess they're cleaning up. Again, I'm deeply grateful for their efforts and work. I hope they take the constructive feedback to heart and provide something soon that cleans up things.
Unless something has changed, Snitker himself has said Melancon will remain the closer at least initially
Just search Ridin in username. It's the one with over 1000 downloads called Full Minors 20.
Here's the Cubs roster - https://sportsgamingrosters.com/2020/03/14/sports-gaming-rosters-mlb-the-show-20-opening-day-rosters-chicago-cubs/
I fixed the following.
- 40 Man rosters to the best of my ability. A couple players were excluded.
- MLB roster is based off www.fangraphs.com (Roster Resource). Perfect resource and I will be following those for each team.
- More accurate AAA and AA rosters. Moved a lot of guys around.
- Created a few more prospects that were in the A pool. You can see on the above link who I created. If you go down to the top 30 prospects list it will have a CAP.
Ridin's rosters are more than good enough IMO, and if you're itching to start a franchise right away you can't go wrong.
I'm striving to make a fantastic set that people can use for years to come. It will take a while, but if you have patience, I think you will really enjoy what I'm working on. I'll make sure to pose all updates in the thread below. I hope you follow it.
I'll upload the roster to the vault after I'm done with each team. Download it and check out the Cubs roster, and let me know what you think.

Yeah some of them have more than 1.
Add Edwin Diaz to the pitcher list. His K/9 is 105.
Also, I believe the game corrects this. I simmed to the all-star break and trouts Power vs lefty has come down 14 in half a season. Haven’t investigated the others. I will also note that he’s having a bad year. Hitting like .246 with 14 homers.

I feel the same way, A bunch of whiners complaining about a roster real adults put a lot of time and effort into . Go to your safe space if you can't handle moving players around to their right levels or picking FA's to place on teams.I'm grateful for the roster and I know how to compile accurate teams based on team rosters set on MLB and milb. Can't believe all the noise from spoiled brats.Fix the roster your damn self and make it to your liking and stopped the nonsense.Grow up guys !! It should be a fun process like I approach it. You can't go anywhere anyways so use the free time and use your brains to fix the roster.Or wait for my roster which will have accurate 40 man MLB and MILB rosters set as to what is currently on each teams roster page on milb.com.Any extra players go to A ball or sit n as FA. Some milb rosters have too many players on it so the lowest rated goes down a level.Only importing missing players from ridins mlb19 roster that have audio. I had done Balt to Hou before the new roster with options dropped.I can do more than a full division per day and will upload as bronx_born58 psn id. I have the patience and skills to compile as accurate a roster with the info given.Starting now. So chill out everyone. let's have some fun.
- OSFM rosters never alter attributes of SDS players. Ever. Any changes to the overall comes from players being moved from their out-of-the-box position (ex. Gleyber Torres). You have a problem with the attributes being over 100 (or too low, or whatever), look to SDS, not Ridin's team.
- OSFM is not a 40-man roster. Never has been. There are, however, some great roster creators that will turn the OSFM into a 40-man roster shortly after it is released.
- So-and-so is missing. Yep, that'll happen. OSFM rosters tend to err on the side of veterans that have a chance to make the big leagues during the year in question. This year seems especially difficult with so many non-roster invites still on rosters due to the suspended season.
- Missing 40-man players, duplicate players, etc., tend to be corrected within a few days when an OSFM correction roster is created by Ridin or someone else. Not saying this will definitely happen, but saying this has happened in the past.
Furthermore, are some of you kidding me?! We've got a 90 percent correct roster put out within a week of the game's release and all you can do is complain?! Teams don't even have their 26-man rosters set with all of the craziness going on. Some people need to reassess their priorities.
Ridin will u consider releasing a new version without the scea errors on over 100 ratings? Just wondering cause sony snuck in that roster update yesterday or Saturday that has all that stuff fixed and DJ hall added etc
1. The attribute over 100 thing is present in SDS' roster this week too. Something is up. Thing is, it appears to be mainly cosmetic. It's also an easy fix...edit player, lower rating one click (you'll see it goes right back to 99).
2. There are no opening day line-ups and rotations...because it hasn't bleeping happened yet (and may not for months). You have a 40 man, dive into spring training and let things sort themselves out. It's the perfect time for many of you to get off of this "mUsT miMIc rEaL liFE" schneid that cause you to do nothing but spin your wheels all season downloading the "newest" rosters in pursuit of perfection that is IMPOSSIBLE to attain while complaining about how you never complete a season. Start your own baseball universe today - you'll get far more immersed into it.
3. I ran a 15 year simulation with these rosters. Let me tell you something; these are the most franchise-stable rosters Ridin's team has put out. You don't see a crazy exodus of really good guys under age 34 to FA purgatory after year 1. Older players do wind up on the list, but that's a by-product of how some of the roster logic is programmed. The player/team overalls, while they do spike around seasons 7-10, wind up re-stabilizing by year 12-13 as many of the younger MLB players (from the SDS base) begin to get purged.
We all appreciate it very much. Thanks again.

The reason they are franchise stable is the editing that was done to potentials, its the perfect mix now.

They are still there, at least in my franchise. During a game they become 99 but I think the higher ratings are in play behind the scene. Maybe not, just a hunch.
Agreed.
On top of that, these are changes that people can make themselves.
I am thankful that you have those like Ridin & crew with the Full Minors and Bacon with the Fictional rosters putting in large amounts of work that they share with everyone.
Instead of complaining, make the tweaks that are important to you and play ball. Probably could have made the changes in the time spent getting upset that the rosters are not "perfect"

Excellent post. I can't believe that people aren't grateful for these rosters that Ridin and his team have put out. The amount of work that goes into this project is astronomical.
For what it's worth in the past I've used TyCooper's 40 man version of Ridin's roster. I'm not sure if he's still around or plans to do so but I'm sure someone will do a 40 man.

Thanks for the Rosters. I am going to start my franchise Thrusday which would have been opening and having these rosters will be great to get the season started.
Awesome !!!!
If you have an accurate 26 man roster , when you start a franchise the game automatically chooses the top 26 players from the 40 man to put on the active roster so now the whole active rosters are messed up. Meaning people who are supposed to be on the MLB team will potentially be in the minors. Prospects will be put on the bench that aren't good enough to play. Teams are going to have 3 catchers.
So in reality to combat this , if you care to have something close to an accurate 26 man roster , you'll have to go into spring training , remove all players that aren't on your active roster from the 40 man, then once the seasons starts you have add all the players back to the 40 man roster. ( For me, I dont add anyone to the 40 man roster. I manage this throughout the year to prevent the cpu from carrying 3 catchers, going with a 14 position players and 12 pitchers, etc.)
This is a Sony issue guys. If you pine for an accurate 40 man roster, you're going to have a messed up active roster.
You are so right! Fyi people you can set your own lineups and 40 man to preference. Its called Your Full Minors now, we drop it you create it and set it up anyway you want it.

I don't really care about any of the rest of the things people are talking about but has anyone caught anymore things like this where prospects have stats? Would like to fix those more than anything else.
I don’t understand those who are complaining about a roster set that nobody is entitled to. People complaining about individual ratings over 99 didn’t even take the time to look at the original SDS roster to see that their are quite a few and that if you make any changes to these ratings you cannot go past 99. How privileged some must be to criticize and state that someone’s shared work is disappointing and not up to the standards you were expecting.
There is no official Opening Day 26 man roster for any team at this time because there hasn’t been an opening day. We have a choice to use the current SDS roster, download one from the vault, or create our own. I’ve seen people complaining that Mookie Betts is in A ball. He’s also on the 40 man so if you start a franchise, he will be on the spring training roster. Send those who you don’t want to start the season on your MLB squad down the until you reach 26, set your lineups and rotation, manually add injuries to those you want, and sim to the end of spring training and start playing. I look forward to those who post edits, sounds of the show tracks, slider sets and appreciate that it he content is made available if I choose to use it.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this roster.

This is a Sony issue guys. If you pine for an accurate 40 man roster, you're going to have a messed up active roster.
What I did in the past was before going into Franchise, only have 25 guys on the 40 man roster... Doing so didn't cause my rosters, lineups, rotations to be messed with.
Is this not the case anymore?

I 100% agree with this. That was the first thing I looked at when I downloaded it and you guys hit it out of the park.
-------------------------------
As an aside, I think people clamoring for every single haphazard "prospect" on "their teams" need to consider this. You can have "every prospect" in the game and have way too many A and B potential guys that imbalance franchise mode OR you can have the key matured prospects and a mix of career minor leaguers (as Ridin's team has done) and have a better overall franchise mode. With the 90 man rosters in the game, that is the unfortunate choice we have. So, before you guys go clamoring about that 17 year old "big prospect" (95% of whom flame out when they are that age) and why he isn't in the game, consider the impact that it will have if fans from every team all get "their guys" in.

Hi Ridin, I created an account finally just to comment on the rosters. The work you guys did has been amazing each and every year. As a franchise guy, I rely heavily on the roster edits that you and your team provide. I've been downloading the rosters for over 5 years now, and they have always been great. I usually make changes to the 40-man rosters, especially since the rosters used to be 25 man based when they first came out.
What I don't understand is people complaining about any 40 man roster issues, or if guys should be AAA or MLB. Those are both things that should be user preference or at least can be easily updated by each roster user. There are also a few people who seem to forget that the SDS ratings aren't touched in these rosters.
I wanted to comment to make sure you and your team understood that there are a lot of people out there that are very appreciative for all of the hard work and the great roster set you put out. I chose this post because it is important for people to remember that these are our rosters now. If there is something we don't agree with, then it can be easily changed either prior to starting the franchise or during spring training. I actually prefer making some changes to the roster because I feel a little bit more ownership of my franchise universe.
In closing, thanks again for the rosters. My franchise has begun so I will not be needing any updates. Everyone stay healthy, and go Yankees!

So, before you guys go clamoring about that 17 year old "big prospect" (95% of whom flame out when they are that age) and why he isn't in the game, consider the impact that it will have if fans from every team all get "their guys" in.
Does this mean that the computer doesn't make 30 minor league trades in April? (I'm still in Spring Training)
Is this not the case anymore?
Yes and no. What I remember before was that they wouldnt add people to the 40 man so everything would be fine.
But no, in spring training they add the additional 14 people to your 26 man roster to make 40. I'n not 100% sure if the lineups stick but either way , you still have to remove all those additional people from the 40 man roster at the least. And this is automatic. Like even if its your user team with everything set to manual.
Too bad we cant add franchise save files to the vault. I'm not a huge complainer but the amount of "workarounds" we need to utilize now is ridiculous.
I put close to 1000 hours into this game every year with roughly 800 of it being Franchise mode. Your team does a great job every year fixing what SDS just can't seem to get right.
I use the updates from your team as the base for my roster work (that I do not upload). You save me hours and hours of menu scrolling every year.
For the haters..."You don't like, you don't buy". Make your own roster and upload it so you can get sh!t on by this community of supposed adults (NOT directed at everyone here, let me be very clear when I say that).
After following this forum for the last several years I finally decided to join with the hope that I could contribute something meaningful here. Now I'm not so sure it was a good idea.
Thanks again Ridin, know that the vast majority of us appreciate what you do. None of us expected worldwide quarantine or the mess of a release SDS gave us this year.
:usa:
Just added guys to 40 man rosters? Or was 26 man roster, lineup and pitching staff messed with as well?
Yup , they dont stick man WTFFFF
You basically have to start the regular season in franchise, fix the lineups and 40 mans from there, and then just save a base roster franchise file. This is not as big of deal right now cause luckily there no baseball , so that base file will be accurate for a while or until Sony adds the missing players but that might not be anytime soon.
Even though they aren’t injured in real life baseball right now, Betts and Bellinger are sitting in A ball for the Dodgers and should be 2 of the starting outfielders. Can anyone think of any other players on other teams that need to be moved from A ball to the 40 man?
Also, does anyone have a running list of duplicate players so we can eliminate one of them?
If I come across a question I can help with I will.

Man, WTF.
That has to be a bug or something, this was never an issue before! Set rosters with 25/26 players and skip to regular season.... Man this sucks!
I have not heard that. Mind providing a link?

My previous message about the 40 man rosters was meant as a response to your post. Apparently I don't understand how to properly use a forum haha

I know what you mean, I'd wait wait for the 25 man rosters to drop. Then id add te ppl to 40 man once I started my season and got past spring training so all the lineups/ rotations would stick. :(
But you're a vet on these boards so you probably already know this route... just another new thing to work around lol
They said this is it for awhile.
Good to know! Thank you! Please update on further test results.

It still works. Been doing it for years. Just make sure you have 40 man set to manual.

I’m fine with Ridin’s rosters and actually like doing every teams rosters. I’m trying to find out if people are lowering players ratings from 100+ down to 99 or lower or leaving these ratings as is
- OSFM rosters never alter attributes of SDS players. Ever. Any changes to the overall comes from players being moved from their out-of-the-box position (ex. Gleyber Torres). You have a problem with the attributes being over 100 (or too low, or whatever), look to SDS, not Ridin's team.
- OSFM is not a 40-man roster. Never has been. There are, however, some great roster creators that will turn the OSFM into a 40-man roster shortly after it is released.
- So-and-so is missing. Yep, that'll happen. OSFM rosters tend to err on the side of veterans that have a chance to make the big leagues during the year in question. This year seems especially difficult with so many non-roster invites still on rosters due to the suspended season.
- Missing 40-man players, duplicate players, etc., tend to be corrected within a few days when an OSFM correction roster is created by Ridin or someone else. Not saying this will definitely happen, but saying this has happened in the past.
Furthermore, are some of you kidding me?! We've got a 90 percent correct roster put out within a week of the game's release and all you can do is complain?! Teams don't even have their 26-man rosters set with all of the craziness going on. Some people need to reassess their priorities.
I bet some of the people complaining weren't around back in the day when we waited 2 months haha..
Thanks Ridin and Crew!
I'm leaving them as is personally
Thanks Ridin and Crew!

I've been coming here since 2009. Lost my login a few years back so I had to start a new one. I'm happy for all the work that is already done I've been tinkering around editing the base roster just to get an idea of the changes I was going to make when this dropped. I've never used the OSFM or Ridin exactly as is I always put my own touch on it as everybody should. We all have the same capabilities, if you don't like something just change it, it's the easiest thing in the world...
Any idea how that affects the player’s performance? Are other users leaving the ratings as is as well? Thanks for your reply

I went in, made a few edits to players, fixed the 40 man rosters to my liking and started my franchise. No big deal.
Thanks to Ridin and anyone who worked on these! So very much appreciated here!
Me too. The Ridin roster is fine with me. If I want to edit a couple of things I can do that. Only takes a couple minutes. People just need to chill out or do it themselves.

Does anyone know how to add injuries to players this year? Couldn't seem to find it as i was trying to assign tommy john to Chris Sale

Same way you do every year. Has to be done in franchise.

I did sim a season prior to getting the roster with the inflated +100s and when my kids get off fartnite I'll get on and check how those particular players stats turned out. off the top of my head I don't recall anyone hitting 80 home runs or something like that but I'll check for sure
Thank you. Would prefer to leave ratings as they are if stats aren’t to crazy

Don't see it under any of the categories once you open edit player...or i could be totally blind
It’s not under edit player.
You have to manually injure.

It's not a major complaint, because I have major respect for Ridin and his crew for doing this each year, and I'm thankful for another season of hard work. Maybe I'll just export Ruf to the last SCEA update and go from there.
Complaining about things you get for free, it's the internet way!

Rosters for all teams in real life aren't set whatsoever. The game can't magically predict each teams 100% accurate Opening Day roster.

Before you start your franchise remove these players from 40 man and put them in minors somewhere. When you start your franchise they can be put back in 40 man and back to mlb and in you’re lineups.
Do I have to do it before I start or can I just do it in the middle of ST as well?
BUT
This game was sold to a lot of customers based on FULL MINORS, and Ridin's name was used to fool the customers into thinking this product would be something it clearly is not. If Ridin could crank out top notch rosters without SDS tools over the years, imagine what he could accomplish when working directly with them. SDS marketed things this way. It was a lie.
Look, I'm sure Ridin wants to have more control and not less going forward over the ability to produce top notch rosters out of the box. I get why he is not going to say anything negative publicly so as not to damage the relationship he is trying to build with SDS. Still, it was largely his name that was used to falsely advertise a product.
This could at best be called FEATURING SELECT PROSPECTS, not FULL MINORS. So while I get that Ridin is probably trying to be smart business wise here, but a lot of us bought this game because of his name being attached to FULL MINORS. Ridin did piggy back on some of that marketing, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt, because he made his rosters before with no profit incentive.
I'd just caution Ridin to not let some big company abuse his name by using it to falsely advertise. Yes, FULL minors is a blatant false advertisement. If he doesn't have a problem with what SDS did, then he has completely lost touch.
Considering he was a customer this time last year like the rest of us, and after all his years of hard work, I will be assuming his heart is in the right place (even if he is clearly trying to turn this into a source of income -which, good for him, he deserves to be paid by SDS for his work)
But I think it does justify some of the vocal disappointment by some. His name being attached to SDS by SDS upped the level of expectations. Clearly, going forward, those expectations need to be brought back in line with reality. Ridin has no direct ability to affect official rosters. Nothing has really changed other than getting audio and face scans for a handful of minor league players.
Be careful with your name Ridin. I know you have to play nice with potential business partners, but SDS could easily hurt your rep by attaching it to their deeply flawed product.

Pretty sure it’s too late once you start the franchise. Try it though

Sent from my iPhone using Operation Sports
How do you manually injure a player?
Go down to injuries then turn to manual. (This part is key)
Now in your franchise go to players you want to injury given and you now should see the option to.
It's not too late if you are doing 30 team control. If you are, trade them for each other (you'll need to add in players to even up the money, I used Longoria and Urias). Then trade them back. You will need to be making the trade from the "losing" side or have force trades on to make it work. Then they are both available in line-ups.
I actually did get to test it. I removed them from the 40 man in ST and once the season started it was able to add both back just fine.
Is there any other players besides Sandoval and Davis? Those are the only 2 that I saw.

Unless I'm crazy, it's supposed to fix the waiver issue for the 3 players, but it's still showing the W for me, I didn't look for anything else.

He's on Ridin's 1.5 roster (AA), not sure about the first one.
What exactly did 1.5 fix?
I set up 40 man rosters off Ridins set and finished last night. Trying to see if it’s worth doing over again. If it’s just the waiver issue, I assume with 30 team control I can fix it for those teams or just let it play out.

I believe it was last year’s game, but Sony replaced the fictional managers of the Yankees and Red Sox with their real managers in a patch. I can’t remember how far into the season it was though. I wish we could edit the names of all the managers and coaches.
The purpose of the Spring Training set was to give the community something to use until more in depth time could be put into a clean more accurate roster.
Yes there are a few mistakes and misses on this roster but it is so much better than you have out of box, which is still more than we had a year ago.
This community has become so entitled which is very sad. Enjoy what you were given for free, something many of us put many hours into giving you and something Ridin dedicates most of his free time into getting to you.
If you can’t do that, try to imagine doing a roster for yourself- something I did before, it takes the entire summer to do and you never end up playing a game.
