Just to clarify what Totte said in the above post, OSFM players we have a projected number for will be re-rated. Basically that includes anyone who is on a 40 man or could get a sniff this year - chances are they got an invite to spring training.

These numbers are what the player would hit if he was currently in the majors which I feel in a lot of cases gives you a proper base for progression. There are a lot of players who are not rated that I need to figure out how to rate because they are out of balance with a roster. I used to use a Minor League Equivalency Calculator but the site I used is gone.

I will say this is the most accurate OSFM yet. A lot of great work on faves this year and ratings are pretty decent.

We do what we can. If we have Zips info for minor leaguers, then we rerate them. Others are looked at in subsequent releases. It's a long process to rerate every minor leaguer and there's no way we'd have it done for the first release. For this to be possible it would require a lot of input from many people.

I wish more people would come to us less with "look at this" or "change that" blanket statements and give actual adjustments that should be made. If you think a stance needs to be changed, find which one works and let us know. If you have rating suggestions, share them. If a player is missing, create him and share him. We can only do so much with the time we have which is why input from the community is vitally important for accuracy.

Could you guys post a link if the exact zip ratings you will be using? I would just like to see what players will be missing from organization. When ever you get the time that would be highly aappreciated. You guys do great work and dont get enough credit for the efforts

I'm doing this from my phone so I can't share the link but you can find the ratings table on the first page of the OSFM Thread

Please do not use this to complain that you don't like the ratings - they are what they are and they get the desired result

I forget are pitch edits being done to these rosters?

I will never complain about the work you guys do if I don't agree with something then I will quietly make changes myself. I have a lot of respect for the time and effort that it takes to put out a great roster like these.

No. We'll use seanjeezy's updates whenever he has them ready.

I personally thought a couple guys on the Yankees were missing, like Abiatal Avelino and Miguel Andujar. My ratings are a little off for them (Andujar too low, Avelino too high, but I can adjust them when I get a chance tonight.) They're both in Single-A. I also made Graham Stoneburner, and tried to make Brian Bruney (could not get his face perfect, and don't know how to put in his stats). Also, I'm a personal fan of Sherman Johnson in the Angels organization (3B, Single-A, but I'm struggling mightily getting his face right, mostly with his nose and his jaw).

I'm not sure how to actually upload them, but if someone could tell me how, so they're easy to find for you guys, I'll do that by tomorrow morning, if you want them.
