well me personally, (and im sure that CBL's and just about every other roster set is done the same way or close. sorry i had to plug CBL's cause i think his is pretty stinking good to) i have 4-5 almanacs for the minor leagues, i have numerous baseball america issues, encyclopedias, a few scouting reports (when i was working for the Arkansas Travelers in the Texas League) as well as what seems to be a million other "stats based books" that i get these from. When i make a solo roster set, it is much easier because you can go off what scouts say and report because that is their talent level, but doing a roster set for a league takes a little more tweaking, i think anyways. But its really a cluster of info that i have. Just about all of it is accessible to everyone except for maybe the scouting reports, but the only reason i have those is because scouts from other teams would use them and then toss them, give them to fans, or go into the office and drop them off in there (for whatever reason i dont know) but these reports can get EXTREMELY detailed all the way down to one i saw last year from a Phillie's scout that was checking out some Angel prospects (no idea why) and made mention that Jeff Mathis "has a tendency to pull his head on 'defensive' counts." Now im assuming that it means Mathis pulls his head on 0-1,0-2, and 1-2 counts....i mean these reports are really interesting. I use those as well. They are from this year and last year so they are pretty current.....im using everything but the kitchen sink...hopefully this next one will contain the kitchen sink, but i have an obligation to family, school and the 7 leagues i run so i can get stuck every now and then lol but have no fear, it should be out by Friday
