With that said, looking at how SCEA rated potentials, I would have all three of them as high Bs.

I agree with you, Thornburg has a nice arm. But his durability is a huge issue and he doesn't have a breaking ball. Fastball/change up guys almost always wind up in the pen. He wants to make him an A reliever, I'd have no problem with that.

For some reason he's nowhere to be found on the bench or lineup... ANy help to add again injured players would be appreciated.

He's probably on the A roster since he's injured.

The Cubs should have at (2) A guys. Jackson and Baez. I don't like McNutt at all. So a B is fine for him IMO.

Szczur should be a B. Vitters could go a B or C. I'd still give him a B seeing as he is so young but I won't fret too much over it.

DeVoss should be on the roster. IMO he's their best 2B prospect. I liek him more than most and would give him a B. But he should at least be ont he roster and at least be a C.

I should feel ashamed for not thanking all of you guys for doing such great work over the past few years, but after recent personal experience of not being appreciated for my hard work in a personal project, I would like to thank each and every one you that put your time into something you didn't have to do. I hope you continue to do great work in the coming years.

Really? I thought we were listening to ksig for the top guys. Which is why I had Paxton and Nick Franklin are B's for the M's. To avoid bias I defaulted to ksig and BA. (65+ grade=A, 55-60=B, etc.)

How many sim's did you guys run and for how many years? I haven't ran one yet with these rosters but just with my experiance in tuning the ratings for the M's it seems like there's alot of 2010/11 draft picks that are still a few years away from the majors that would be peaking 3 years into a franchise.

I'll run a sim and post results but thats just from glancing over the rosters. Since it seems like there's alot of high potential guys could I recreate a couple guys for the M's? (depending on how this sim works)


Overall, great work by everyone. It's kinda funny seeing how people do faces. Some guys round the facial features, others emphasis any little thing.

A HUGE thanks to all the folks who worked on the rosters. ... I think JoeRyan33's Dylan Bundy is spot on, too, and I've added him and JoeRyan33's Machado to the O's.

Maybe some day JoeRyan33 will be able to do a CAP for this Bundy >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpa5s98ST5Y

Yeah the work people did on the appearances are really amazing. Hats off.

I'm not really sure why there is a debate on potential now, it probably should have been done before the prospects were created. I mean, that's why we all set up threads for the teams we worked on.

That said, I always gave a lower potential if I wasn't sure. But it feels like this discussion might be better off in the corrections thread, since that's why it was made.

Glad to have been a part of the project and thanks to everyone else who contributed in any way as well!
