O.S.F.M. 2015 Recruiting(joint ops with Hybrid Set)

[Knight165]

Okay MLBTS brethren.......once again....it's time for the creation of the Operation Sports Full Minors roster.

While basically....things will be the same as usual....we are also going to be creating the Hybrid set in conjunction with the stock O.S.F.M.
The Hybrid set is usually one that Willard76 and teeds(both editors for the O.S.F.M. as well) work on after helping complete the stock O.S.F.M.
Both take on quite a bit of work for the original set before tackling an equally tough job in creating the Hybrid.
This year....we will facilitate this by working on both at the same time instead of waiting one for the other.
The minor league players created for each set will be the same.....the only real difference is that Willard76 and teeds will import them onto the updated SCEA players....while Ridin' will import them into the "stock" O.S.F.M.

This is fortuitous for all of us this year as it will cut down on some time for the Hybrid crew....and with me being extremely busy at work this year(and next likely).....I will have to take on a much smaller role in the editing process this year.
HOPEFULLY.....this year will be the last that any roster creator has to create an entire roster from scratch.
Ramone hinted that year to year roster carry over might be a possibility.
I will keep on him about that this year.

We will need as many editors as possible again....and I would like to thank in advance those that contribute year after year. Your work is much appreciated not only by myself and Ridin'....but from the amount of downloads and rating approval...the MLBTS community en masse.
You guys do a great job and I'm really looking forward to seeing great end products once again!

If you're interested...please post here...or contact myself...RidinDwnKingsley....Willard76 or teeds.
If you want to help in any way....we will gladly take all hands.
Thank you!

Knight as always thanks for taking lead and getting this thread up. It always an honor to work on this set, I look forward to it every year.

[teeds]

Exciting times!

I'll take on the O's and the 'stros. I can also help with TEX, SD, STL, and whoever else really.

Here's some useful information for anyone who is doing contracts.

Ill start Philly and do all importing, then whatever else we need

[Ivanhoe]

I'd be happy to take on the Detroit Tigers again this year.

I'll be in my lab working on defensive ratings for SCEA players (for the Hybrid). I can also help with contracts for both versions. In some respects we may have to wait and see what options we have for editing contracts (whether they can be edited outside of modes etc..).

I'd suggest BRef for contracts since you can view them by whole teams of players at the same time. Their data is based on Cot's, which is the gold standard. The link that ShowTyme posted above has some interesting info, especially comparing salaries to value, but it looks like you can only look at one player at any given time.

can anyone explain what the exact difference is between "hybrid" and "base" roster?
