Can we see the personalities in the BNN page of these players?

I mean IMO I think its really simple why the Sox made the trade.
They gave away a average player (too much weight on ratings, ratings are taken into account even when its at 0%) for a stud pitching prospect and a utility prospect. If more weight was given to stats, the player in question would not be rated that low and the trade wouldn't have went down. I'm interested to know what was the potential rating of the rookie of the year. I'd be more concern about why did the other team give away that prospect for that player. My only guess is that the Sox was rebuilding/neutral while the other team was win now/neutral. Last edited by SirMichaelJordan; 05-31-2015 at 10:41 AM. |

That's not a 1B I'd want to keep. Good contact/power, but absolutely no eye. He had a good season but I'm sure there are better options, and if you have other needs he's a good guy to sell high on. I'm not a huge fan of pitchers with the highest attribute being control, but it's a smart idea to sell high on that 1B. His value will never be higher.

I know we can sit here and question whether Meyers can keep up the pace and if he's an ideal 1B. His ratings etc..
But the big picture and my main point here, is would a GM really trade a rookie coming of that statistical season? Think about it in terms of real life MLB. Not a chance. Is it partially my fault based on the AI evaluation settings? Should I change them and have more of the focus on stats? Last edited by Habsfan18; 05-31-2015 at 11:12 AM. |

Remember, one season does not define a player. I'd like to see how this pans out at least a few years down the road.
There has been plenty of talk about the Cardinals upgrading at 1B this year and you heard none of that last season when Matt Adams was having a similar season as the player who was traded in this thread. Meyers value is high at this point in time, might not be so high next year. Last edited by MizzouRah; 05-31-2015 at 11:13 AM. |

Anyway my point was about his low eye, not his avoid K. Quote:

Are the White Sox crazy??

Low eye is not all be all of ratings. His contact and power is high enough (along with his high avoid K) for his low eye to not hurt him as much as a guy with a much lower contact rating hence why he's hitting over .300. He'd probably be a career .270 I wonder what his average says in the editor. From the looks of it the OP is probably more concerned with realism rather than the AI predicting the future and dumping a player a year early. In my experience with the game these type of seasons aren't flukes for a player without all around pretty ratings. Last edited by SirMichaelJordan; 05-31-2015 at 11:33 AM. |

maybe they thought they were selling high on the guy? what was his BABIP? its all a game of asset management and if they thought his value was at its peak it would make sense to pull the trigger. Crazier things have happened.

At those evaluation settings, you are valuing the player's ratings for 40% of the rating, and only 30% on the great statistical season he just had.
That pitching prospect has some amazing potential ratings. I don't think you are having the AI evaluate the stats enough in its calculations... and I don't think it gives a rip about the awards, strictly the numbers it is presented with.

I never said he'd fail to hit for average or that his lack of eye would make him regress/suck. I just said that I personally do not like low eye players, especially from a position like 1B which is entirely based around his bat. I would sell high on contact/power no eye bats, and keep looking until I find a guy who is successful at all 3 skills.

Out of curiosity what AI Eval settings do you use?

Either 25/25/25/25 or 0/50/25/25. I've been using 0/50/25/25 lately since amateur stats doesn't seem to carry too much value in this year's version. With the same setting in older versions I was seeing too many draft picks make their MLB debut the same year they were drafted. |

If you want the AI to act more like a real life GM you need to lower their reliance on ratings, plain and simple. I usually go somewhere in the 10%-15% range. Your settings are only giving the great season in question 30% of the consideration.
I like something like 10-50-30-10 for a more realistic AI. Last edited by Rain King; 06-01-2015 at 08:08 AM. |

I wouldn't jump to conclusions based off one trade. I still believe we need to revisit this trade a few years down the road. |

I just had a relatively similar situation getting ready for "2016", where the Padres traded Wil Myers (big star, just 25) to Seattle for Chris Taylor (better SS than what they had) and Alex Jackson (stud OF prospect). It's hard to imagine players of Myers's caliber getting traded as they're just going into their prime, but it happens. Heck, it's happened to Myers himself twice, IRL. (Going from KC to TB, and then to SD.)
As annoying as it must be for the San Diego fans to imagine the team folding its cards for a couple of years (and they can't have been thrilled at watching management let Ian Kennedy walk after a 12-3 season in 2015, either), it does make long-term sense. They added a useful piece and reposition themselves for when Jackson is ready, which will be right when Myers is probably demanding $30 million/year or so. And the White Sox, in your fictional world, seem to be doing the same sort of thing. I wouldn't worry about it; they just are looking at their "window" for contention being a couple of years down the road, rather than right now. (The Padres' cosmetic rental of Dexter Fowler [1 year, $8.9 million] is a little more dubious, but I guess they don't want the season ticket base to completely erode while they're waiting on Jackson…) |

For what it's worth, the default fictional league settings are something like 30/50/15/5, which I prefer.
