It's causing me a lot of trouble to continuesly deal with this...

The guy is doing this FOR FREE. Give him some slack. Since your league depends on this roster set, I would be considerate he's taken his time to do this. Especially when Christmas is only a few days away. Some people do have things going on and don't just sit in a janitors closet with their laptop and a bottle of KY like others. Give him a break.

100% ROFL.....this set, and any other set is never 100%, but if you are wanting a date as to when this will be done as far as stats, here ill let you and everyone else do that math.....

1. Im recovering from a major knee operation so i dont get to move much away from this damn desk.
2. I have 2 children, 1 of them has been diagnosed ADD/ODD/ADHD so he demands quite a bit at times.
3. I have a wife....whoever has a wife out there, there is no need to explain this one, for those of you that dont, imagine living with 4 differnt versions of your mother but not allowed to date, kind of like Norman Bates.
4. I have a job. Granted i work for myself, which means i make very little. But im always working on something sports related all the time.
5. Im a full time student
6. We are moving the 24th of Jan. back to California.
7. Both me and my wife are disabled vets so that makes moving REAL fun
8. Its Christmas, which means ill be home about 7 hours total in the next week, plus i would like to be able to dump my kids on my in laws and get drunk on New Years

Ok now with all that known, i personally dont know how i can give you a date, but if you really really want one, ill be done around the 30th of Feb.

Seriously, i dont know an exact date, this set is always a work in progress and im usually working on it for 4-5 hours a day, granted most of it is when the wife is busy and the kids are gone. I always target, the start of spring training as the time when i am done with the hard stuff (stats, ratings, player histories, etc.)

halofan26 · 12-22-2005, 11:03 PM

whats wrong with smelly hand lotion?? thats all i have in this damn house now

edddgar · 12-22-2005, 11:03 PM

You missed the Yorvit Torrealbea for Marcos Caravjal and Luis Gonzalez. That's the only thing I have noticed so far. Also Felix Hernandez is vastly underrated, Yuniesky Betancourt has been compared to Ozzie Smith with a better bat and he really sucks in the game.

Also the Mariners don't have Scott Spezio he was released during mid-season.

CD1083 · 12-22-2005, 11:04 PM

the only reason I ask is to get an idea for my own benefit - if you planned on releasing an update in a week, I'd wait for that but if you don't think it will be for awhile than thats fine too - that's all

IIRC, halofan uses some magical program that comes up with his ratings by player's stats. If you really don't like the ratings, you could always edit them yourself.

P.S. Thank you halofan

Make the changes yourself then skippy. He said it's not done but released it now to please the people who have aggravatedly harrassed him.

Edit: By the way, I'm going to find your home telephone number and harrass the hell out of you on Christmas to do me a favor for free and see how you like it. Merry Christmas.

Finish your homework, your 7th grade teacher won't be happy to hear you were looking at porn instead of doing your math.

halofan26 · 12-22-2005, 11:12 PM

well i was gonna see what i can get done and if i make some headway, i can release another one......as for Betancourt and Hernandez......Hernandez was great last season and will probably be great next season and years to come, but remember, i do things off stats, but i cant include minor league stats as this would make things real ugly. Hernandez will get adjusted as he has more time, plus i dont use other scouting reports and have talked to Hernandez and scouted him personally so i know what he can do

as for Betancourt, if it was up to me and my opinion, he is a 1 star chub....the guy cant hit anywhere, and if he is "ozzie smith" reborn, ill shot myself in the face....however, i think he is a 3 star prospect in this set based on the ratings and defense ratings he does have.....sorry but Betancourt is not impressive to me. Unless i get some type of hard evidence that he is that good, there isnt anything i can do

halofan26 · 12-22-2005, 11:13 PM

im looking at the set now and i see the Torrealba trade in there?

Klew1986 · 12-22-2005, 11:20 PM

so is the set up on your site?

halofan26 · 12-22-2005, 11:21 PM

man i hope you are kidding lol

Klew1986 · 12-22-2005, 11:34 PM

Dude, there are quite a few players in the FA that shouldnt be FAs.

Grant Balfour, Byrnes, Randa, LeCroy, Kolb

edddgar · 12-22-2005, 11:34 PM

Relax OfficerTC, I'm just trying to fix some mistakes that he made for the next one, everyone makes mistakes

I see Yorvit on my roster. He's the only ML Catcher on the roster.

halofan26 · 12-22-2005, 11:40 PM

ummmm those players are free agents...they were non-tendered, that makes them free agents until they sign

Klew1986 · 12-22-2005, 11:41 PM

Ok sorry. Just out of curiousity, will there be like an update once the off-season is complete? Like an Opening Day roster?

edddgar · 12-22-2005, 11:44 PM

Marcos Carvajal, one of the guys we got for Yorvit, is listed on San Fransisco for me, he was traded from the Colorado to the Mariners. Mariners got Yorvit from the Giants though

halofan26 · 12-22-2005, 11:44 PM

there will probably be three more before i do an opening day set, so yes there will be an opening day set

harveytorriti · 12-22-2005, 11:45 PM

Just a couple of things Halo, re Betancourt........

Quote:

"A Cuban defector who signed a $3.65 million contact in January, Betancourt hadn't played in 2004 and was largely an unknown. His glove didn't let him stay anonymous for long. After seeing his plus range, arm and hands, PCL observers were convinced he had Gold Gloves in his future.

"He's by far the best defensive prospect I've seen since I've been coaching and managing," Tucson's Chip Hale said. "His hands are special. He's going to be another Omar Vizquel."

and Hernandez....

Quote:

"He's the best minor league pitcher I've ever seen. That's the best report I've ever written," one scout said.

From Baseball America's top 20 prospects of the PCL.

OfficerTC · 12-22-2005, 11:47 PM

Not complaining, just curious.

I've had other leagues where the ratings were really inflated because of the league setup. So maybe these ratings seem low becaues of that.

Derek Lee has under a 50 rating/talent for Contact. He hit 287 last year and 278 the previous year. He hasn't hit under 270 since 1999. It seems like he's going to be hitting under 270 very frequently with a 47 contact rating, right?
