Understandable, and I agree with this season's stats. It's his improvement I am looking at. His average, I assume, will probably weigh him down over his career. But, he has legitimate power, a strong and accurate arm, improving, yet still solid, defense behind the plate. Plus he supports a hefty .360 OBP. I also thought he played very well in AA EL - where a lot of hitters can't. Reports are he is even athletic enough for a corner outfield spot.

Don't get me wrong, WTNY, I don't think he's the next Posey, just a tad bit underrated, especially his ratings in comparison to the other Giants' C's (besides Buster). It could just be a personal preference thing on my part.

No major changes are needed, just a few tweaks here and there.

Feel free to post what you think. There is no guarantee that it will be included, but there's no need to ask for permission to suggest tweaks. Ultimately, if the tweaks are well-founded I am sure they'd be incorporated.

As a roster editor myself (NCAA football, in which is 4x the amount of teams and you start from scratch cause no names are involved) I know the hard work that has to be put in. I was just making you guys aware of some major issues that take place with this roster set that include messed up ratings and even some good prospects that were taken out just to make room for career minor leaguers. It's easy to blame others and the game for a downfall. It just needs tweaking and adjusting for this to work well. Once again good job to all those involved and thanks for the time spent on doing these. For myself I just feel like OSFM v2 is much better. Everyone has a right to his/her own opinion.

Which prospects did you notice were taken out? I haven't had time to delve into the rosters in depth - especially some of the younger prospects, but I didn't notice any glaring omissions.

Simmed a franchise season twice. One very alarming stat I've noticed is the extremely high number of strikeouts. One season had 38 pitchers with over 200k's. Another season had 43. In comparison, MLB 2013 season had 12 pitchers with 200+K.

It's a very minor thing but did you guys fix Heywards position? He should be a right fielder not a center fielder.

Because I did 8-10 sims on the v2 roster and numerous times only got 6-7 .300+ hitters as well, thats why!

Ok, so I just spent 3 hours moving pitchers H/9 down 5 points for just about every mlb and AAA pitcher. Ive also went through each team and moved the best hitters in the game up 5pts contact L and R. Here is what I am now seeing on my second sim, need to sim more though to be sure!

16 .300+ hitters and 34 .290+ hitters

Home runs look good, 45 and 44 led the league!

RBI's are up 140 led AL 118 les NL, and a total of 18 100+ players!

Only 12 pitchers had over 200ks

Kershaw was 21-3 2.41 era
Lester 18-6 3.31 era both cy youngs

Miggy hit .322 41 110
Goldie .328 44 118

So far so good! If it wasnt for the damn pitch edits, I would just use this roster setup lol!

This actually is alarming. Anyone else wanna run a sim and check it?
