Some more Red Sox things I've noticed...

Brian van Belle starts the game on the major league roster. He shouldn't. Josh Winckowski is starting in AAA (likely correct - but also possible he'll be in the bullpen after so many pitching injuries this spring), but van Belle is going to begin the season in AA.

Luis Perales is averaging 95 to 98 MPH on his fastball now, so his MPH should probably be 95 - 97 MPH instead of 93 to 95. Luis Guerrero sits 96 to 98 MPH right now and OOTP has him at 93 to 95 as well. Guerrero also throws a splitter and doesn't throw a changeup to my knowledge. I'd remove the changeup, add the splitter, and give the splitter the curveball's ratings and adjust the curveball down to what the changeup presently is (46 / 92).

Bryan Mata is viewed as the organization's top pitching prospect. He throws a curveball in real life that OOTP doesn't have rated.

Ryan Fernandez sits 96 to 98 MPH and throws a curve and a cutter; neither are thrown in OOTP.

Shane Drohan's curve and changeup ratings should be flipped. His changeup is his best offering. Velocity should probably be taken down a tad. 93 MPH is his max. Game is currently 93 to 95 MPH.

Ryan Zeferjahn throws a curveball in real life; it's not very good, but it should probably be included as a 4th pitch.

If this is helpful to ya'll I can dig more into the system. These are just some things I've noticed when looking through players.
