I should also mention that we've made a conscious effort to be conservative with potentials to help the superstars really stand out.

Thanks for the response. I would have liked your post if the function worked for me lol

Ok. Enough bull**** tying up this thread about Francisco freaking Lindor and asking why certain players are rated a certain way.

We have explained it many times - projections (hard numbers converted solidly in ratings) were what decided ratings. Potentials are based on what the baseball community thinks of a player (again a hard number converted to make a rating number).

Unfortunately Overall numbers are weighted numbers - usually in a pitchers case it's pure stuff weighs more than /9 numbers.

We had no biased other than if something looked strange we did double check that player.

Francisco Lindor will probably become an A potential after season 1, but he currently just sits under that. If he started as an A there is much more chance he would eventually become a 99 player which now we would have complaints about him being too high.

At the end of the day - do you the roster user want something that has pretty numbers OR something that plays real to life.

Just to make a point using a questioned player Marco Estrada. I pitched with him last night and he was pure Marco- not pretty but damned near perfect. Gave up 2 runs through 8.

Let's keep this thread productive moving forward - and if u have no intention of using it, stay off the thread

Wow, take it easy Willard. We were just having a discussion. That type of post is not really something we look kindly on here.

And I do intend on using the roster. I wasn't aware I was not allowed to have an opinion on a certain player.

Opinion is fine but more than 1 post about a player is no longer constructive. It is browbeating us into changing something especially when we have said we did not control any numbers. We simply put them in (about 40 hours of work) after WTNY spend more than that finding a formula then creating the spreadsheet.

We have explained multiple times why Lindor got what he did and why Joe Blow minor leaguer got what he got.

We appreciate the interest in the roster by all, but people need to realize that there is no absolute perfection and constant bugging on the same topic for 5 yeArs gets very tiring to the point this roster almost did not happen to begin with.

It's not like we haven't been nice enough not answer. We keep giving the same answer because that is the answer

If you're referring to me about making more than one post about it I made one post and responded to another. Definitely not nonconstructive.

But you've made your point. Next time don't be telling people that its bull**** to post stuff. That is nonconstructive. And also don't be telling people to stay out of the thread. Everyone has a right to view and comment on this thread regardless if they download your rosters or not.

And just so you know, as I stated before I really appreciate the time and effort you guys have put into the rosters.

I am fine with Lindor's potential after more was explained to me.

So now it's time to move on.

If anyone has any questions about what Steamer does to calculate this stuff I have a fairly decent knowledge of how it works

Is anyone posting a version with transactions up-to-date?

So.......

Budgets On or OFF?

Will teams be able to re-sign their guys and what not or am I better off turning it off?
