MLB '10: The Show Rosters: OS Full Minors V.1

Not sure if this was mentioned, but C.J Retherford of the Charlotte Knights is black in the game. Should look like this. http://blog.al.com/birmingham-news-s...Retherford.jpg

Pretty tough background, to boot:

Quote:

Johnson's online bio describes him as a Venezuelan phenom who joins the Express after having his prison sentence commuted. "He served time for running a smuggling ring that imported rare and illegal species of reptiles into the United States from South America during the mid-to-late 1990s. Thursday night's game marks Johnson's first in American professional baseball after a storied career in the Venezuelan leagues."

Can you just send players down to the minors at the end of Spring Training (for each individual team) instead of reducing the 40 man roster to 25? Or will the lineups still get mixed up if you do that?

That's awesome, I'm definitely going to start a RTTS as Rojo Johnson when v2 comes out.

What are we thinking as far as the A potential player is concerned Knight? Lets talk.

yep that's exactly what you can do and it won't mess up the lineups....this is in fact what I do (mentioned that a little while back in this thread) and I think Knight might even do this as well...

it's really a great way to go about than reducing the 40 mans to 25 men rosters, but also takes a little bit more work......I like using it though

I guess what I'd really like to do is bump up one of the B's... to the A...(which was Grant Desme) and then we could either use that old player as either a new guy or even give someone else a bump up.
I think either Ramos or Jackson would be "worthy".....I'm more inclined to Ramos than Jackson(sorry, I just don't like his approach to hitting and his propensity to strikeout vs. walk...and he doesn't have much power right now)
To me...Jackson is an above avg. contact guy....tick below avg. power guy....great defense and avg arm....pretty good baserunner.
Ramos.....pretty good contact....really good power....VERY good arm...and defense....below avg runner(what catcher isn't?)....
So it's going to come down to personal preference IMO.

Okay....crazy day at work yesterday...so got zero done there
Mother's Day today(wishing all the mothers a happy one!)....taking the wife out to dinner with the boys and then it will be back to work later.
Little bit of a crazy week...but I should be good and will keep you guys in the loop.

Just FYI....the update is looking really nice.
Took the set into the Future's Game just to get a feel for how everyone played and looked.....and I was not disappointed. Both squads looked pretty tight....off the top of my head...the SP's were Strasburg(what a shock) and Martin Perez(Rangers)....and the position players all looked right in line.

M.K.
