I love/am baffled by how insane OOTP’s engine is when determining what positions young players play. Lenny played only SS, 1B, and OF this season, is the size of a phone booth, and is listed as a Second Baseman?

Tonya Guitar was drafted 10th and didn't sign, that means I won't be able to find any general stats for her yet, right?

Name: Scott Brosius Again DOB: 8/15 Height/Weight: 6'1" 200lb Throws/Bats: R Position: 3B Country/City of birth: Milwaukie, OR Background: College Prospect Player profile: Brosius grew up in Milwaukie, Oregon, where he attended Rex Putnam High School before going to Linfield College. In 1987, a freak Physics 101 accident opened up a wormhole during a lab, creating an exact duplicate of himself that was sent 30 years forward in time, leaving him bewildered and confused but nonetheless determined to continue his baseball career. Solid hitter, good defender. Very Scott Brosius-like.

Part of me wants to create a player, but the other part of me is curious if anyone would realistically sign a player who's amazing at fielding, but crap at hitting.

Having a lot of experience with OOTP you'd most likely get unrealistically high trade value and overall rating as long as your speed and base running is top tier too. I have to stop myself from taking advantage of the computer with my amazing fielder packages for Mike Trout.

Opening Day: 2019 MLB Season League Website HERE Hall of Fame Inductions Mo Rivera League news Clayton Kershaw signs VERY team friendly deal with the loving Cardinals. Goon player news: Several goons in preseason top prospects list including Joseph Money (1), Bo Jackson (2), Tempus Liksnart (3), Mike Rotch (5), Marvelous Trent (6), Boon Doggle (7), and Larry Leftball (3). Couple goons make MLB rosters: Corbett, Dirgler, Jackson. Check out the offseason moves, preseason predictions (Royals lol), top prospects, and best minor league systems! note: upload should be complete within the hour Also: it is really fun trying to write your player descriptions into the game. I'm pretty proud how noted Canadian Gord Doug's scouting report came out: "Teammates often question Doug's dedication because of his lack of outward emotions". bewbies fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Nov 7, 2017 |

Funny things I dug up: Chris Sale mega trade to LAA. Next year's FA class is pretty amazing: Sale, Bumgarner, Altuve (who amusingly did not start a good chunk of last year...the Astros are really loaded) and Boegarts should all be $25-30mm guys. Shohei Otani is simultaneously the best pitcher and hitter in NPB; I think he'll get posted after this season. It is too bad the game mechanics literally don't allow for a two way player.

Also: for the next draft, for our last fake base ball man I will input ONE (1) historical player. This can be anyone who played an inning of professional baseball at any point, ever (if they're in the database). Want to see how Babe Ruth would hit against black and latino pitchers? Want to see how many strikeouts and hit batsmen Nolan Ryan would have in the modern game? Want to see Bartolo Colon get fat, again? Submit your nominations for a player to LIVE AGAIN!
