2010 Roster Set Underway

Download the file above.

Features list:

• Updated ratings for the 2010 season including fielding based on UZR and other fielding metrics (love me some UZR, but it can be a bit biased), hitting numbers based on projection systems, GB% for pitchers as to what they are in real life
• Top 30 prospects and top 100 league prospects, rated in proper BA order, with full scouting reports
• Completely accurate pitch speed and types for pitchers who have pitched at least one inning in MLB
• Edited personality ratings for any active player who has played a game in MLB
• Edited injury ratings for any active player who has played a game in MLB
• Stadiums including dimensions, capacity and park effects for any ballpark in major or minor league baseball
• Full coaching staffs for major and minor league teams
• Accurate uniform numbers for MLB rosters
• Accurate rosters/players at the proper levels to start for minor league teams as of the end of 2009/start of 2010

This will be the second release:

• Every minor leaguer fully rated for fielding, hitting, pitching (and pitch types as I have scouting reports for them, if they were in a BA top 30 group in the last 5 years, I have them) --- most of them have already been done, but for guys who played their first year and weren't in a top 30 this year, will have rough ratings until I hit this in the next few weeks after release
• Draft pool for the 2010 class --- in my sim league, we added around 300-400 2009 draft prospects. Planning on doing the same for the file.

If you need some help, I'd be happy to help with the prospects once the BA Handbook is released. I have access to BP too.

As a Tiger fan, grandersons looks about right except the low fielding number

Will the game start off in 2010 or 2009? I can help out with the contracts as well - I know the contracts of the Braves especially. But if you need any reference to the contracts, check out Cot's Baseball Contracts.

Should be 2010 since the stats are updated(2009 stats) in the screen shots.

[CubbyFan23]

Still alive -- good progress is being made. First copy will be a bit rough in that I'm not going through and re-doing a ton of minor league ratings.

I'll be leaning on you guys for some serious feedback.

Hey Garrett, any time table on a first release?

[mentor24cards]

Let me start by saying that I haven't played since 6.5(liked the interface better and the OOTP2007 really wasn't fun for me) just recently downloaded the free OOTP8(excited for this start). So with that being said....I am just curious if these rosters or any rosters for OOTP9 or OOTPX are able to be used in OOTP8 and if so, how would I go about installing them? Sorry if this is somewhere else, but this was the first post I saw for newest rosters.

[Wheels123]

Excellent news, looking forward to it. Thanks for the great work!

I'm hoping to have the first release out by mid-February, although that could wiggle either way.

I just wrapped up all hitter ratings today, so the only thing left to do is re-rate pitchers (which is a beast of a task with pitches now) and then touch up prospects to fit the top 30 or so.

I'm more happy with hitter ratings this year than ever due to some things I learned about ratings last year while we were in beta. I think fielding ratings will be MUCH improved. I leaned on UZR and scouting reports quite a bit, and there's a more wide gap, with some fielders in the 10s and 20s (/100) and some in the 80s/90s or even 100s. In my previous sets I leaned way too much on everyone falling into the median, with poor fielders around a 35-40 at worst. I hope this makes the new age of defensive metrics more important, as guys like Joe Crede, Adrian Beltre, etc. will actually be valuable despite subpar bats.

Will keep you guys in the loop.

What do I get from the roster sets that I don't get from the Lahman database?

1. Updated transactions
2. More precise contracts
3. Most players rerated by hand, from scouting reports
4. Better ratings for prospects based off of real scouting reports


Lahman database is good for historical leagues. The one cubby makes is a lot better for playing in the current time.

Sorry cubby i'm not trying to speak for you just saving you the time so you can get your rosters out sooner
