Already fixed.

Looking through the Mets system, nitpicking,
Rafael Montero's velocity could get boosted (currently at 89-90, really 91-93) but his fb is rated high so no problem.
Domingo Tapia velocity should be raised. He usually throws 95-98 and hits 100. Also he throws 2-seamer/sinker around 93-95 and that's the worm killer.
Gavin Cecchini is also a fringy SS but IRL he is someone who is almost guaranteed to be a SS in the MLB, if he makes it.
Matt Den Dekker's avoid k rate should be dropped as well. When gets called up, he has a strong chance of k'ing in 30% of his PA.

These are minor differences and this is far and away an great release. great job.

I wouldn't say he's on the hot seat, but there's definitely a reason he didn't get an extension yet.

Cecchini is rated a bit weirdly right now. I've adjusted him to boost his fielding but to lower his power and gap potentials.

I think maybe someone thought he was just like his brother, which he isn't. He's got more glove but less bat than Garin.

You're right on Den Dekker too. Dunno how we missed that! I've adjusted him also.

Tapia absolutely needs his sinker added. It was on my list of things to do. It's done now.

We don't give sinkers to many guys, it's kind of a special pitch in OOTP, but his certainly qualifies as special.

Boosted both Tapia and Montero's velos too.

Great catches here, thanks!

Danged Mets fans ... Where's my Dodger fans

Well, if the Dodgers hadn't betrayed my hometown in 1958, I would have been able to help you out. I was raised to be a bit spiteful to them instead. ;-)

Edit: Despite being born about 20 years after when they moved, I was raised to hold my grudge.

Maybe I am looking in the wrong place or just missing him - but Rangers do not have Mike Olt in their organization.

Olt is on Texas' AAA roster for me

Hey, not a huge deal, but just noted that NY Mets manager Terry Collins' contract runs 'til 2016, while it's very widely discussed that he has no extension past this season.

Fixed. Also fixed Gardenhire's contract.

As mentioned by Tony79, he's in AAA. Is he on the dl in your game? That could be why you're missing him.

Interestingly, I noted that Ryan Zimmerman's recent defensive woes (plummeting UZR's the past couple seasons) result in an above average third base fielding rating, so it looks like it's a consistent long-term average. I'm just not sure this is accurate for Wright (or Zimmerman for that matter).

More on Wright:

It's not like Wright was a great fielder even before that. Here's his UZR's by year:

04 - +4.0
05 - -5.1
06 - -6.9
07 - +6.3
08 - +5.9
09 - -9.6
10 - -11.0
11 - -10.6
12 - +15.4
13 - -0.4

So as you can see 2012 is clearly an outlier. I just don't see how we can rate him more highly than average on the basis of one outlier season. Do you? In fact it's the outlier that even allows you to make a case for his d to be average, imo. Otherwise I'd say it's been below average to poor.

And, though I don't really like using the 'eye test', as I prefer factual evidence, I have to say that as a Met and Wright fan (Wright's my second favorite current MLB player to Beltran), I've never thought his defense was anything to write home about, even at the times it was being widely praised in the media.

I'll take a look at Zimmerman later.

LOL this is a minor thing that I'm not even sure you can change, but under the team colors, logos, etc. page for the Yankees, they shouldn't be allowed to have beards.

It's not the Yankee way.

Having looked through all 30 teams for service time and salaries. I've got to say the roster team have done a really good job. Thanks for all your hard work.

Thanks. I am sure I speak for everyone involved when I say we definitely appreciate the kind words.

On the subject of contracts, I went through and fixed all the players who had wrong contracts, ie. players that in the game have a 490k minimum salary but in actuality have anywhere from 491k and up. There's actually very few guys with a standard 490k contract. Everyone's contract is set accurate to Cot's website.

1) Minor league team names mixed up in the Texas League (AA):

Los Angeles Angels have their AA affiliate named Northwest Arkansas Naturals. This is actually the Kansas City Royals AA affiliate. The Royals have an AA affiliate named the Arkansas Travelers which is actually the Los Angeles Angels AA affiliate.

2) Kansas City Royals AAA affiliate is named the Omaha Storm Chasers not the Omaha Royals.

More Orioles stuff:
-TJ McFarland should be on the ML Roster, he was the Rule 5 pick and made the opening day roster, he is currently in AA.
-Brian Matusz and Steve Pearce should also be on the ML Roster, they are currently in AAA.
-Zach Britton and Travis Ishikawa should be on the AAA roster, they are currently on the ML Roster
-I know he technically started the season on the DL but the way they retroactive it, Chris Tillman was available for the 5th start of the season, just think it would be better if he was not on the DL or the injury day and DL days are lowered.

This stuff is right in our db and in the official OOTP installation files. Seems like something is wrong with your installation. You may want to do a complete uninstall-reinstall.

I've had to say it a lot in this thread but I can say it again. Whether a player is assigned to AAA or MLB or on the 40 man or not is all ai controlled in game, not something we can do anything about for now other than by changing ratings. It's right in our files but the game changes them when you start a new game.

Sorry, it know it's not the best way to have things work. Thanks for the info though, it's appreciated.

It's probably a bit too early to make an assessment of 2013 as of right now. I'll continue to observe and see if there's an argument to be made later. I have some faith in the eye test, though I understand why data-driven assessments (even with questionably reliable defensive metrics) are preferred.

Appreciate the commitment to accuracy.
