OSFM 2013: Chicago White Sox

[captainphildo]

I don’t want to hijack this thread nor create a new one just for this so.

I'm going to post this here for any White Sox fans. I have tried to recreate the 1983 White Sox. I made the 40 Man roster with future prospects. The future prospects range from 1984 Daryl Boston to 1991 Joey Cora. The stats for all the players were sent through five ratings calculators (Nomo, Kritter, Bahnzo, Knight, and thiplethreat) then averaged by me with comparison to current SCEA CAPs with comparable stats. The future prospects were walked back using knights prospect ratings. So hopefully they turn out to be good in the future.

The roster was uploaded to the vault on 3/15 with the name “1983 Chicago White Sox” under historic rosters with username captainphildo.

Last year I made the All Time White Sox with 90 CAPs. I still have not decided if I am going to remake that roster this year or not. I have all the ratings and player info saved in a excel spread sheet.

I don’t think I am going to create any more rosters this year but I am thinking of the 1959, 1993/94, 2005, and maybe 1917, for future The Show Games. (I say future Show games because I have read through a lot of news articles and other media outlets from their time to find out the exact pitches each pitcher throws and at which speed, break and kind of control they had. The same goes with the pull and push, power and contact hitters, and the great or poor defensive players.) Any suggestions of any past White Sox teams I have overlooked to create are welcome.

No worries, you're not hijacking anything. I'd add the 1906 Hitless Wonders to the list also. That's really the only team I think you left out.

Hey guys, my Reds traded Cody Puckett (LF/2B) to the White sox today for a PTBNL. If you'd like I can upload him to the vault for use in your rosters. If you guys don't want to add him that's fine too, just offering.

I just saw that and was about to ask you if you could. Just PM me when he's in the vault.

FutureSox.com ‏@FutureSox 2h #WhiteSox have released P's Leroy Hunt, Keegan Linza, Dustin Umberger, Chris Hanna, Connor Whalen per BA. @KeeganLinza a surprise.

Also, Justin Greene was traded to the Diamondbacks for cash.

Lucky for me I was going to create Hunt, Umberger, and Greene today, so no loss in terms of wasted time.

Does anyone know good pitching deliveries for John Danks and Jake Peavy?

Read today that Konerko could bat 5th with Dunn moving to cleanup. Rios staying at 3rd

Will there be any updates regarding contracts, Chris Sale recently signed a 5-year contract extension in real life but I noticed in-game it still says he's in his final year. Will this be addressed or will we have to change this ourselves?
