Base Roster Edits for OSFM

[MrFatMark]

Every year once the OSFM roster is released I go through and edit the base roster players to the best of my knowledge. However, with being primarily a Tigers fan I do not know many edits beyond that.

I am not looking for perfection here, but post any edits for ratings or pitch edits/pitch speeds that you think should be right. For example, I feel that Justin Verlanders fastball should be a running fastball instead of a 4-seam.

I am also going to give Quinton Barry a bump in speed and baserunning ability.

Knight and the crew do an awesome job on the rosters, makes the game so much more enjoyable for franchise. I am so looking forward to starting my franchise soon!

Again, I am not looking for perfection, just maybe some opinions. Also, there is another thread for batting stances, and deliveries. Just looking for ratings and pitch edits. Thank You.

I like this idea for a thread. I noticed that Adam Eaton's contact rating is much higher vs. L than vs. R. I think it's based on the small sample of his major league PA's last year. I'm not sure what it should be, but I'd love to hear others' opinions.

What would your ideas be also for Relief Pitchers that also Start from time to time be for there stamina? Normally there stamina rating is so low that they would only be able to go 3 or 4 innings in a start.

I have noticed this with other players as well. Right handed batter has better ratings vs right handed pitching and vice versa.

Something else that has always bugged me is the power rating right vs. left. For instance Prince Fielder has a 90 something rating vs right and 70 something vs left. If he gets a hold of the ball, it is going, no matter what hand pitcher is on the mound. I always thought the contact rating should be lower, but power stay the same? Your thoughts?

Adrian Gonzalez' power vs lefties should be bumped way up, IMO

I agree, lowering contact makes more sense. Perhaps the way the average stats are calculated uses power as frequency of power. So Fielder on average hits fewer homers vs lefties and to account for that SCEA lowers his power frequency. Maybe contact is hit frequency overall and power determines percentage of hits that go a certain distance?

I am sure almost everyone who plays this game has at least 1 player that they think is mis-rated, or there is a pitcher that has a bad pitch type, here is your chance to post that.

Dan Uggla needs his speed bumped up. They have him way too low needs to be around 50-55.
