Quick Update on Rolen's Roster Set

jackflash · 04-06-2007, 04:23 PM

Hello everyone, I just wanted to give everybody a quick update on where we stand with Rolen's roster file. I accepted the job of manually editing all of the transactions from opening day 2006, basically to get each team's correct opening day roster. As of 4:00 PM EST I have finished and correctly updated each team's opening day 25 man roster as shown on MLB.com. I will be taking a short break when I get home (dinner)

and I will then dive into each team's minor league systems (after I talk with Rolen). Currently, the contracts still need updated but getting the correct 25 man rosters for each team is a start. I will be plugging away at this throughout the weekend. I do not like to list ETAs or anything like that because this is still Rolen's set, he controls when they get released. But I felt with all the bad posts and bickering going on, people wouldn't mind a little bit of positive news.

left15401 worships you!

Thanks, can't wait for the release!

Any interesting ratings you can share? Dice-K? Alex Gordon? Always interested in that kind of stuff.

Thanks again

NO!

The LAST thing we need right now is discussion on the ratings in the set! Just let them finish the ()@#$ thing!

Watch out, they all love you now, but if anything goes wrong, they will turn on you.

Actually I was a member of the vast majority that did not turn, but whatever...
(A few people with multiple logins were causing the problems, for the most part)

Actually, jack was amoung those who supposedly "turned".

jdickins · 04-06-2007, 05:55 PM

The impatience that people have about these roster sets is understandable at first -- they want something and so they just ask for it...over, and over again.

But many of these people don't seem to have a clue about the following:
1. A good roster set takes an IMMENSE amount of work to complete.
2. Roster makers are generally working and donating their efforts for FREE.
3. No one is ENTITLED to these rosters and mods.
3. Pestering these good people for ETA's and previews, etc. is actually discouraging them (look what it did to APujols5)

If I were a roster maker, I think I would go completely into hiding to avoid all the pressure from people who expect something that they really have no right to expect.

jackflash · 04-06-2007, 05:55 PM

I just want to see this thing done more than anyone else. Keep in mind, this is still Rolen's set. He has final say in any release of anything.

Is anyone savy in editing rosters in a csv format? If so, contact me on AOL ISLTwins, could put you to work

Also I am waiting on Rolen to get online right now to continue on, but right now I am beginning work on updating the contracts of these players

fantastic, i just want to be able to play a game with the MLB 07 rosters and team colours, etc with no messing about

Cant wait.

mattkma · 04-06-2007, 05:59 PM

I hope these guys don't eventually pick up their toys, go home, and not play anymore. Keep up the good work!

Well, at least he is putting his money where his mouth is, and attempting to fix the problem. I respect that.

Sounds like you will be getting that and a whole lot more.

One bit of information I need from the community is can anyone find a current listing of players that are currently on the DL? That would be an awesome help.

Definately true. That is very cool of him. (I didn't mean what I said bad).

Way to go Erich, jack, and anyone else who is pitching in.
