O.S.

Okay...Finally the time is here!

In the Vault: O.S.F.M2013 by RidinDwnKingsley
Link to file: http://www.sendspace.com/file/0pdx99


Thank you everyone for your patience in regards to this year's release.

We had one hitch towards the end....and I (we) are hoping that everything is alright with that one member.

That being said... I have to say that this year's group of editors have put together a tremendous effort with this year's version of the O.S.F.M.

I want to thank each and every member participating on the chart and from the work thread... but there are a couple of guys who I just have to mention, that went above and beyond with their effort and support.

yanksdaniel99 picked up quite a few teams that were vacant as we got into the process. It was a big help with him setting up those clubs.

Throwback and Willard76 went above and beyond to help out with multiple teams to work on faces (Willard on top of rating 2 teams as well) and especially down the homestretch when it was getting very tight

... and last but CERTAINLY not least... RidinDwnKingsley who rated multiple teams... as well as doing ALL the exporting and importing of every player for the set AND testing the set for balance.

Thanks to O.S. as well... Steve for allowing us to use the O.S. name in conjunction with the set and the mods who I'm sure dread when this time of year comes around and they have to keep the peace... and keep the threads moving and productive. They do a tremendous job.

Guys... I can't stress enough how I want to thank each and every guy who participates in the process... not just the guys doing the editing (who do a GREAT JOB)... but also the guys who provide input in the multiple threads.

Every year I am more and more impressed at how well this site works together to make this happen.

If you really think about it... it's a truly impressive process.

On that note... I'm going to ask you to think about how much time and effort these guys put in to making this work... and in doing so, deserve a certain amount of civility and respect when commenting on a particular part of the work. All feedback is welcome... as long as you present it in a civil manner.

That's all any of us ask of this.

Again... thank you for you patience and enjoy the O.S.F.M. 2013 Edition!... and

Enjoy The Show!

M.K.

Well if someone wanted to take the time to change those players whose real numbers don't conflict, I guess you could do that. Myself I just change them when they come up and get an official number.

And sorry knight, IRL interfered, had to take like a 4 hour break from working on the Brewers minors.

Good evening guys,

Two questions for you guys, and I'm sorry ahead of time if this has been brought up already. #1 once the V2 rosters get released will I have to bring down 15 guys to make it a 25 MLB man roster a day prior to opening day? #2 I have noticed that Christian Yelich is the #12 overall prospect, however, he is only rated 61? Is that an error? Thanks for your time on reading this fellas, and thank you all for your hard work I'm big fan of what you guys do

I edited jersey numbers mainly from Ripner's fine list meaning we're talking about spring training numbers. Probably good to keep it that way to avoid any double numbers

1. Yes, you'll still have to do the demotions if you don't want the CPU to screw up all the rosters.

2. Yelich was rated using the same formula as everyone else so I'm guessing there's been no mistake with him although I agree it sounds a bit low with 61 overall

He hasn't played above A+ yet.

Hey all,

First post newbie here. Wanna start by thanking all the guys involved with the O.S.F.M. project. You guys do some superlative work, and the baseball gaming community is indebted to you.

I would very much like to be able to use these rosters for my RTTS career. From reading the forum, it seems to me my best bet is to wait for the release of the V2 version. But I'm also confused by some of the issues raised by other folks on the forum. So I guess my main question is twofold:

1) Are these rosters well suited for RTTS play, or better suited to Franchise play?
2) Will I have issues with outstanding contract lengths if I use O.S.F.M. V2 in RTTS mode?

Any direction you can give me would be most helpful. Thanks again for your herculean efforts.
 
# 848 Ripner @ 04/10/13 11:53 PM
Knight, are we going for accurate AAA & AA or just accurate AAA and top prospects/AA mix on AA?

1. All-in-all, they're the most complete rosters at the moment no matter what type of game you're running

2. No

I hear you, but neither did Fernandez and the dude you can tell is going to be a stud which also seems to be a bit under rated at 76 when he is rated higher than Wheeler (81) as a prospect, but at 76 is not bad I guess. Yelich IMO shouldn't be a 61 that's kinda of low for a 12 overall prospect. Hamilton at 11th is a 74, Sano at 12th is a 74 and Yelich at 13 a 61??? In addition, Xander at 20th is a 74 as well. Doesn't seem right. Not trying to say anything bad nor negative, I just wanted to get your opinion on it.

Iowa Cubs (AAA)
SP - Chris Rusin #21
SP - Drew Carpenter #18
SP - Brooks Raley #19
SP - Nick Struck #11
SP - Barret Loux #50

CL - Blake Parker #34
RP - Rafael Dolis #37
RP - Jaye Chapman #24
RP - Cory Wade #22
RP - Zach Putnam #35
RP - Jensen Lewis #27
RP - Casey Coleman #17

Opening Day VS RHP (have not faced a LH starter)
1 - Logan Watkins 2B #6
2 - Brett Jackson CF #7
3 - Brian Bogusevic 1B #32
4 - Brad Nelson 3B #40
5 - Darnell McDonald RF #16
6 - Ty Wright LF #2
7 - Edwin Maysonet SS #33
8 - J.C. Boscan C #15

BN - Luis Flores C #9 (not in initial ST set)
BN - Donnie Murphy #5
BN - Josh Vitters 3B #1
BN - Ryan Sweeney OF #39
BN - Junior Lake SS (injured - has not joined team)

Lineup has kind of changed since Sweeney and Murphy joined the team and Vitters returned from injury, but the above lineup was technically the Opening Day lineup.

AA-Tennessee is a little trickier since a lot of the guys on the actually roster weren't in the initial ST set and probably don't deserve to be, well at least bullpen/bench type guys, but here is kind of a makeup of who I think would make a good roster for the set...

Tennessee Smokies (AA)
SP - Dallas Beeler #34
SP - Alberto Cabrera #22
SP - Austin Kirk (actually with A-Daytona)
SP - Starling Peralta (actually with A-Daytona)
SP - Dae-Eun Rhee #11

CL - Tony Zych #32
RP - Kevin Rhoderick #12 (not in initial ST set)
RP - Marcus Hatley #25
RP - Matt Loosen (can't find him in the system but in initial set)*
RP - Guillermo Moscoso (rehabbing/EXST-will probably eventually join IOWA)
RP - Lendy Castillo (currently with Low A-Kane County)
RP - Armando Rivero (not currently assigned to a team - probably joins TENN at some point)

*Frank Batista, Eric Jokisch, Kyle Hendricks could be other choices for the bullpen

Opening Day VS RHP
1 - Matt Szczur LF #4
2 - Arismendy Alcantara SS #7
3 - Jae-Hoon Ha CF #3
4 - Justin Bour 1B #40
5 - Christian Villanueva 3B #16
6 - Rafael Lopez C #29
7 - Johermyn Chavez RF #21
8 - Ellioto Soto 2B #5

First Game VS LHP
1 - Matt Szczur LF #4
2 - Arismendy Alcantara SS #7
3 - Jae-Hoon Ha CF #3
4 - Justin Bour 1B #40
5 - Jonathan Mota 2B #15
6 - Rubi Silva RF #24 (not in initial ST set)
7 - Jair Fernandez C #18
8 - Tim Torres 3B #--

BN - Jair Fernandez C #18 (VS RHP) / Rafael Lopez C #29 (VS LHP)
BN - Jonatha Mota IF #15 (VS RHP) / Elliot Soto IF #5 (VS LHP)
BN - Tim Torres 3B #-- (VS RHP) / Christian Villanueva 3B #16 (VS LHP)
BN - Rubi Silva OF #24 (VS RHP) / Johermyn Chavez OF #21 (VS LHP)
BN - Greg Rohan 1B #-- (injured - has not joined team)

I really wouldn't worry about Soto, Mota, Torres unless you need fillers. I would probably use Ronald Torreyes as the starting 2B since a lot of people expected him to open the season with TENN and will probably be there when healthy. The other bench spots could be used for Class A prospects.

AA is kind of tricky with the guys the Cubs have there/were in the ST set.

As accurate as possible for each level...BUT...I am only replacing D or non-prospect C players in order to get a player who is in AAA/AA and missing.
I won't remove any prospects(even the lower potential ones)

I'm nearly 100% with AAA so far....and getting pretty close to most AA....but I do just use a prospect to "fill in" if necessary.

You make valid points, I'll run him through an editor tmrw and get back to everyone it. Think he might need a little boost.
 
# 854 seanjeezy @ 04/11/13 01:07 AM
Here's what I would change for Yelich, puts him at 68 in left and 71 in center:

73/50 R/L contact
49/43 R/L power
50 vision
62 discipline
62 speed
46 reaction
59 fielding
59 BR ability
50 BR aggressiveness
 
# 855 franch1se @ 04/11/13 01:25 AM
Is Roberto Lopez being added for LAA in version 2? He's in AAA for the Angels, hitting .375 through 5 games. Was also in last years set.
 
# 856 Bondsfan @ 04/11/13 02:13 AM
Knight, when SCEA creates people at the beginning of the year, all the rookies and stuff, do you then import the SCEA versions into V2, or do you leave the original ones created in V1.

I think the ones with service time like Garland, Maine etc definitely will be added. Not sure about the other like Jackie Bradley. Guess it depends on how their face looks

I haven't been changing any of them.

I've been
-making sure all 40 man players are present...and the 40 man is correct(to what it can be due to 60 day DL players and not being able to injure pre-franchise)
-Adding any AAA/AA players if there is a low potential/non prospect player to replace in order to get AAA/AA as close to correct as possible.
-Moving players to be on the correct level(as close to possible)
-Setting the correct lineups for every level for the FIRST game of vs. LHP and vs. RHP
-Setting the pitching rotations as they were for the first 5 games
-Changing/adding some positions

Totte edited...
-Some minor fixes(Kimbrel...etc)...
-Number changes
-some equip edits
-some stance changes
-corrections in the Ripner corrections thread.

M.K.

I'd rather have the rookies you guys created like Bradley and Fernandez but what of the players like Tejada, Garland, Maine, etc. SCEA's version of these guys aren't viewed as rookies and have a real life service time. Are these gentlemen imported to your roster Knight?
