Great work CBL. Gotta love that people that go all-out on roster sets like you are.

For the guy on Hamilton: About Bonds on steroids and Bradley a headcase, those guys have major league stats to go by, is what he meant when he said ML ready (or whatever he said), with all prospects (which Hamilton still is) you have to go by what people are projecting of the guy. And frankly right now, he's not even projected to make the major leagues (They don't think the guy cares enough), so 3-star will give him a nice career as a quality 4th OF/decent bottom-of-the-order 3rd OF. You can edit him if you wish to give him more, and if he bounces back with a great first half this year, well then anyone who edits this roster set to the public I'm sure will gladly change his talents.

For the guy about Bonds' ratings: Yes Bonds has had tremendous numbers the last three years, and his 8-18-19 numbers do seem to be way off but you must remember, OOTP bases their ratings on 550ABs. Bonds never receives 550ABs because he walks so much, last year he only got 390ABs, 405 the year before. So he's getting these 85 HR/250BB ratings (or whatever his numbers come out to), because based on 550ABs, that's what he would do. He never reaches those numbers in OOTP, and his age makes him decline anyways.
