Roster set issues (2025 MLB / MiLB / KBO / World Baseball Classic / Honkbal / Indy / NBL) go here

He should definitely be rated for 2nd Base. He should probably be rated for 1B as well as he will likely play fair amount at 1B, but he won the Gold Glove because of his play at both second and third.

Fixed

All the MiLB coaching staffs are fixed up now from AAA, AA, A+ and A.

As the lower levels are not all announced for 2025 yet, we probably won't update them immediately but will plan to work on them later on and get them in a patch.

I assume that these are fixed on another build that hasn't been released, correct? Because they are all still wrong in the latest beta build, Update 26.1.38.

Thanks.

Yes, correct.

When I say something is fixed here, there's always a lag time to at least the next patch before it actually appears in-game (sometimes can even be a couple builds, depending on timing).

From a Blue Jays fan on Reddit-

First off, an actual bad bug:

There is a typo on Chad Green's contract and he's only on 1.5m instead of 10.5m.

Weird/Incorrect stuff I've found playing:

Gimenez doesn't know SS despite playing there on the Mets + Guards as a second position.

Santander doesn't know Left Field, same thing. Both of these have a big impact on lineup building. The latter especially.

Springer forcibly eats your DH spot because they can't split the roles, that one is genuinely super disruptive to your majors lineup, Schneider himself has said the plan is to split them.

Speaking of Springer, why does he have 60 speed and 70 Stealing Ability? He keeps being Top 3 in the league for Steals consistently in game. His actual career high is 20.

Steals in general seem absurd in who leads them though. Right now I'm at the All Star Break and Springer is 2nd in the league with 29 SB (2 CS)

Loperfido knows 2nd/3rd base despite being a pure Outfielder his entire career. (He's also arguably much better defensively than his in game stats)

Arjun Nimmala is a primary 2B, but he's only played SS since being drafted.

Jeff Hoffman has a 94-96 velo when his Sinker + 4SB peak at 97-98 in real life.

Barger is just wildly overtuned in general - the guy struggled massively with contact in the majors yet he's 50+ in all batting stats. He's been an All-Star in 2 of the 3 times I've ran the season through so far.

Bo Bichette only has 45 gap power? He's a doubles machine and hasn't hit less than 30 in any full season. He was 4th in '22 with 43.

Even when he could barely hit the ball in his half season last year, he hit 16 (and a triple) on .225 average, that's the definition of high gap power.

[Lukas Berger]

Gimenez f.e. has played SS in MLB for 18 games in three years. For established guys, we can't just give everyone experience at every position they've ever played, or the AI will play them wildly out of position. For MiLB guys and young guys, we're a bit more generous.

[Lukas Berger]

Green's contract is set at 10.5 mil in the db and is correct in game. They may have an old build or need to force reinstall data and start a new game to see it.

Santander and Springer, yes probably makes sense to add full experience at both LF and RF for both. Done.

Loperfido played 2B quite a bit in the minors. 3b, removed that.

Nimmala, this is an AI thing. Most young players we give experience at multiple positions because it can vary greatly where clubs put them in a given year and we cannot foresee the future here so we like to provide options.

For Hoffman and other pitchers, the listed velocity is not peak, more like average. He probably deserves another tick or two though, so giving that to him.

Springer's SB abilities, these ratings come from a mix of statscast data and ZIPS projections. Eyeballing them, they look exactly right for his performance in previous years (doesn't run too much but very successful when he does). High speed and high ability but relatively low aggressiveness. I'm, not sure why he'd be running so much in your sim, but this would surely have to do with manager settings too. I slightly decreased his stealing aggressiveness anyway.

Bichette's gap, gap very much plays with other ratings, including contact, it's not a rating that shows much on its own. Like right now, he projects at 27 double per 550 ab's. very close to what he put up the last two years. He probably deserves a very slight tick up though to get that more to 30. Gave him that.

Barger projects at a .237/.314/.398 line. ZIPS (which is what we use for the ratings) has him at .243/.314/.409. That looks exactly on target to me.

Jonah Cox, currently appearing on Atlanta's AA roster, should be in the Giants' organization.

Fixed, thanks.

[Hazer]

Congrats on the launch. Some Milwaukee Brewers org notes from the last beta patch:

Owen Miller - On Brewers roster but was traded to Colorado in the offseason
Rusell Smith - FA in game but should be in MIL AA
Jon Duplantier - was released to pursue *** opportunity
J.C. Mejia - was suspended 162 games for PED and was not in org in 2024
Casey Martin - FA in game but should be in MIL AA
Garrett Spain - was a MiLB R5 pick this offseason from TOR
Jesus Chrinois - Elected FA Nov-2024; don't believe he resigned with the org
Aidan Maldonado - FA in game but should be in MIL A+
Tanner Gillis - FA in game but should be in MIL R
Garrett Hodges - FA in game but should be in MIL R
Jack Hostetler - missing Rok League
Joan Pena - missing DSL
Johandry Ramirez - missing DSL
Luis Aguayo - missing DSL, on restricted list
Jose Arias - missing DSL
Gustavo Garcia - missing DSL

(game officially launched as I was compiling this so sorry if a couple of these are inaccurate)

[Lukas Berger]

Thanks. Fixed Smith, Duplantier, Mejia, Spain and Chirinos.

The guys showing as FA who should be in the org were a bug, they're fixed already in the release version.

The missing new IAFA and low level guys will be added into the db before long.

Can you elaborate on this? Are there any Korean players in the KBO who were randomized? I assume not because you have the license but since the foreign players aren't part of the KBO license I am not sure.

We only have rights to the KBO 60-man rosters, not to the KFL players not on that. Also not to the foreign players.

[Red08]

Just a quick note from a quick look at the Cards. Brandon Komar is showing on their minor leagues but he is currently in the Cincinnati Reds org

[negroleagueenthusiast]

Tai Peete from the Mariners - has been working in the OF, starting in CF in the Spring Breakout game.

Trying to give him a clearer path, it seems. He should have some type of ability there imo.

Also, would think with 45 SB last season his ratings would be a little bit higher in terms of speed and baserunning.

[negroleagueenthusiast]

Colt Keith from Detroit-

Is set to be their starting 1B this season.. doesn't look like he has any ability there currently.

[negroleagueenthusiast]

I am not sure if I am supposed to put it here, but the farm system rankings and prospect rankings could use a closer look. Maybe this is just on my file, but here goes-

Compared to the consensus in real life of being a bottom five system, the Angels start out as the No. 11 system.

Toronto at 10th doesn't seem right either.

Seattle and Detroit both seem heavily underrated in terms of farm system rankings at 14th and 15th. Miami too at 18th.

Jackson Jobe as the No. 218 prospect stands out in Detroit. Thayron Liranzo too.
Noble Meyer, Andrew Salas, Agustin Ramirez, and Head from Miami all could use a closer look.

[negroleagueenthusiast]

Atlanta-

Is AJ Smith-Shawver not rookie eligible in-game? Hurston Waldrep too?

[JG141275]

A couple small Dodgers notes:

Miguel Rojas has a fair amount of experience at 2B and 3B and will likely see time at both this season. I’m not sure what the minimum experience to get rated but he played 10+ games at each last year.

For Dodgers minor leaguers, the DB is showing Ogdon for 2024 stats at Rancho Cucamonga. May be some tie to the old Pioneer League franchise.

What about retired MLB players who are up for a Hall of Fame vote and are Korean (i.e. Yoo-Young Yang = Chan Ho Park)?
