Current List of Free Agents in MLB 13 The Show

[Dr.Livingdead]

I don't see the issue with players like Oswalt and Contreras rated high. I bet its because their gonna drop off real quick and wont be any good in a year or two anyway

[Dr.Livingdead]

As for Bourn, hes got great speed and defense, that matters too. Offense isnt the only thing that the overall shows.

I'm not sure if it works in the game but in MLB 12 I signed Joel Zumaya for example and there should be a really high risk of him ending up on the DL pretty soon and him staying there a while as well. I think in real life he threw a bullpen session with the Twins last year and didn't return after that. However in my Franchise in MLB 12 he has been healthy, effective and somewhat durable so far, but thats a small sample size. But does the game simulate guys like Zumaya well in the sense of them being at high risk of injury and possible following ineffectiveness?

If you dont like the ratings then change them. Simple fix

Strange that Jamie Moyer isn't in any of the FA lists since he hasn't retired yet and pitched for the Rockies last year.

What exactly is OSFM?

OSFM is the roster that is created from this site. They go through and edit tons of players + do full minor league system. Best roster you can download easy. Usually takes like 1 month for it to get all done

Bourn's average for the season last year was .274. I don't know where you got .283 at. But considering he was around .330 at the ASG break and ended at .274 should tell you how terrible he was in the 2nd half of the season. I don't like prototypical leadoff hitters that strikeout 155 times in 155 games. That's what Bourn did last year. I like for my leadoff hitters to actually put the ball in play as well as get on base which Bourn does do well despite not walking a ton.
