OSFM 2013: Chicago White Sox

[brian310]

Thanks for uploading Sanchez man! And as far as the bench goes, I think it could be a mix of a few of the current guys in camp:

C - Gimenez
IF - A. Sanchez/Tolleson (both could back up second short and third and Tolleson can play the outfield in a pinch)
1B/3B/left handed bat - Gillaspie/Bell (I think Gillaspie wins this one, but does Bell have a minor league option left? If not, maybe with the spring he has had, he can be dealt to the Yankees for something decent.
OF - Wise

Fangraphs (and therefore The Show) has his screwball as his 6th pitch so it got left out due to the game's limitations... Brooks baseball has it as his 5th pitch, so when I do pitch edits it will be included

No problem. As for the bench, I think it's inevitably going to be Gimenez, Sanchez, Wise, and Gillaspie. Sanchez is a Rule 5, so he has to make the team or get sent back to the Angels. Anyone that is a ST invite doesn't burn an option to go to the minors, they have the right to ask for a release though (unless I am mistaken).

I think they have Wise, Tekotte, Danks, and Mitchelle before Thompson as far as status goes. So I guess they will have those four battle it out. I wouldn't be surprised if it comes down to him getting more AB's in minor league camp too.

That makes sense. But good to hear.

CWS - Which batting stances are you going to be using for Jared Mitchell, Kennyn Walker, and Courtney Hawkins? Thanks.

You'll have to wait and see! I'm still not 100% sold on what I have. I think their faces are pretty spot on though.

But yeah that would be awesome because you are probably a lot better at making realistic prospects than me. He plays for the Great Falls Voyagers. Here an article with a little bit about him: http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/201...ith-authority/

I'll take a look, but like I said, it's going to have to wait a while. I still got quite a bit left to do.

Yeah no problem...I just figured I would give you some basic info on him. I am not starting my franchise until a couple weeks after OSFM comes out.

Hey sorry if this has already been asked but will you be adding Chris Sale's slurve and/or Hector Santiago's screwball to the game? Also what is the final verdict on Carlos Sanchez's potential, personally I think low A but that's just my opinion.

-A fellow White Sox fan.

Not touching any SCEA players, so no updates to Sale or Santiago. As for Sanchez, he is a solid B. The only guy I bumped up was Thompson, he's a B also. Hawkins is the only A- guy in the set.

first off i wanna say i appreciate all that you guys do and the info that is shared among everyone to make this game and specific teams as close to perfect as possible!!! Didnt know where else to put this...but since i figured its mostly sox fans in here....is anyone else bothered by the fact they didnt fix US Cellular at all this year? The ribbon board in center is still incorrect and doesnt display stats, and the wall behind left field bleechers is still a play gray wall instead of matching the rightfield wall? Bothered me last year and again its not been adressed this year.
