International Complex

When do you guys move players from the complex to Rookie Ball? What determines your promotion?

When the current ratings are good enough for them to handle it.

Which means that most ratings are in the 40's and maybe a couple are getting toward the fifties. Real ratings, not scouted. With scouting on you have to guess a little.

On what scale? 20-80? 1-100?

The 1-250 scale of the actual ratings in the editor. I'm not 100 percent sure what that works out to on the different scales.

Essentially you want their current ratings to be very similar to the ratings of the guys that are already in your rookie league. Or your SS league if that's where you're planning to move them.

If you can move them to the target league and have the game actually put them into your lineup or pitching staff in a decent role, not as the last guy on the roster, then they're ready.

Obviously this depends on the person but I go with high potential players. They don't necessarily have to be developed, but considering these kids are usually 16 when first in the IC and I check it a decent amount (I'll tell you why in a second) unless they're high potential players I don't really see the point. Especially considering they're so young and they're usually super raw if they don't have a high upside it's usually not worth the risk and I can draft/sign someone better.

I check a decent amount because I had one player from the IC shoot his way through the minors in a season and a half? And at 18 became the #2 SP for the Sox...he was THAT good. Granted that's the exception, most of the talent is subpar, but the IC is a super cool new feature.

I just checked the batch of prospects that I moved from my international complex to rookie ball, and they have current ratings in the 60's in the editor. I've done this for several seasons now, and the best ones seem to really fly through the minors.

It seems I now have two different strategies for talent, depending on how I acquire them. For draftees, I am more deliberate in promoting them. I try to pay some attention to their HS and college stats. For international prospects, I project them more. I figure out which ones will turn from a $50k hack into a premium prospect IF they develop a little better than normal.

For example, I have been signing 16 year old pitchers that have at least four pitches, with low projected stuff, (30 on a 20-80 scale), average movement (45) but high control (70). If they get a little lucky, and have a big boost to stuff, by the time they turn 20, their projected stuff is a 50. These guys make good MR's. I've gotten really lucky once and had P whose stuff went to 70. He won a Cy Young Award at age 22, doing a Pedro Martinez imitation.

I figure if I hit 1 out of 10 on these sorts of pitchers, I am making bank.
