MLB The Show 16 OSFM HYBRID V1 Roster Available Now

09:06 PM - May 23, 2016 by Willard76

Alright, after many months of hard work, mostly by others not named me, we are very proud to announce the release of the 2016 OSFM HYBRID V1 - under psn - Crapinmyshoe

This year has been a special project as it was built around my son receiving his long awaited liver transplant and before I get into specifics about the roster, I would like to get thanks to our team, especially Waittilnextyear who engineered the majority of this year's edition, teeds who we also welcomed back into the fold and contributed many new faces as well as many quality control corrections, Cultbuscus who really got this thing back onto it's feet and basically gathered our team together this year, Totte who was our master of OD backdate as well as quality control, God of Nugget and Blobloblah who did a lot of the tedious work for us as well as the late Dr Illinios who managed to get himself banned from the site but still contributed.

If anyone is interested in making a donation towards the creation of this roster, I would appreciate donations made to Ronald McDonald House Toronto where I did the bulk of my work on the roster this year while my little guy recovered.

ROSTER DETAILS

This is a 40 man roster that contains the following edits;
Full roster rerate (no player untouched)
Pitch Edits from WTNY
OD roster for all MLB clubs and close for AAA and AA
No carry over stats for rookies except for Kyle Higashioka
New Faces and players added to the OSFM V1.5
Equipment edits where info was made available
Accurate Opening Day MLB lineups
Proper positioning according to Baseball Reference
So much more, you need to download and use it to believe

This roster is intended for 30 Team Control but can be played with Single Team.

You will not find another roster that plays as accurate to true life, I hate making claims like this but it is true.

Please rate the roster so non OS users will know it's worth, and most importantly enjoy it for what it is - a great baseball game roster.

WILLARD

Maybe someone can punch some sense into him?

Or, give him some time to recover from the previous punch from Odor? LOL!

I have the minor league assignments for all players listed so you can have Opening Day Lineups as well as updates on Injured Players and when they came back in real life. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

This is very much appreciated. Thanks a ton!

My apologies if this question was already asked but which slider set will go best with these rosters? And we're stats done on the default set. Would it change anything drastically if I used a different set

If there were issues with say 20 or more I could see questioning the system, with 1 or 2 it seems, to me, it may be a personal bias.

Lindor without a douct should be an A i dont know how people disagree with this logic. He is a gold glove caliber defender with speed and ability to steal bases and is hitting tremendous, these type of players dont come around often

Everyone who agrees please change Lindor to anything above 90 you want in your roster - if you disagree and agree with scouts and experts please let him be.

For sake of argument I ran a sim and Lindor ended up 92 potential after season 1

How it should be, imo. Let him continue to earn that A through progression.

People are reading wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much into his MLB batting stats so far at this early juncture in his career. Lindor is simply not a .320 hitter at the MLB level, sorry (he never hit higher than .289 in the minor leagues above high A ball). Not close. He's posted a .350 BABIP (!) in the bigs, and he hits with neither the authority (4 homers, just .110 ISO this year) nor has the blazing speed to be a BABIP outlier. ZiPS has him at .282 ROS, Steamer at .277 ROS. We try not to over-correct for small samples, which is what relying on the projections is good for guarding against.

When Lindor finds his true level as perhaps a .280/.330/.400 hitter with 10 HR/15 SB and slick to Gold Glove defense, an 88 POT will look just fine. I mentioned this earlier in the thread and I'll say this again, but offensive players that don't hit for power should almost never be considered as an A (HOF level player).

But, there's really no reason to keep dragging this up. Nitpicking ratings on this guy here and that guy there doesn't get you anywhere. Even if you think you've made your point, we're not changing him. You can do what you want with your copy.

Which sliders do you guys suggest for your rosters?

We don't suggest any specific set. Just try some sets out and find what you like best.

Just for future reference I wouldn't use ZiPS for anything, lol.

Willard can you create blue jays prospect jeremy gabryszwski in AA he having solid season.Willard did you create blue jays prospect shane dawson if not can you upload your version of him.

I don't know, ZiPS and Steamer tend to exhibit nearly the same predictive value. You can cross check one with the other and it's striking how similar they can be.

The reason I switched from ZiPS to Steamer about a year ago is because Dan Szymborski's developed something of a grating personality.

On the aggregate yes but it isn't particularly hard to get a good aggregate result (I personally spent ~10 minutes bull****ting projections for an ISU and didn't get too far off ZiPS). The methodology is flawed. They don't regress peripherals properly in any way shape or form. It ends in guys with ridiculous true talent projections like 2 HR/9 (Scott Baker, Gavin Floyd) or BABIP (Odubel off the top of my head).

Speaking of really wonky stuff like regression, we didn't even mention this about our roster I don't think, but I believe this roster is really the only one that regresses splits per The Book (that includes Sony as people who don't really do formal split regression). A lot of other re-rated rosters that I've seen read into ridiculously low numbers of ABs as if they hold absolute truth. I thought you could appreciate that.

Dawson is in the set I believe and Gabryswski probably won't happen until I get a creation urge again.
