I haven't dug into the file on OOTP yet, but I love that I started 3-0!
I also hit 9 HR's in those 3 games, so by my calculations, the 2024 NSBL Angels are assured to hit 486 HR's, with Tom Murphy hitting 162 of those.
Baseball season has officially started!

2-2 week, not bad Offense showed up on the weekend. Masyn Winn will eventually be a great third baseman, but that may not be until August lol  |

Respect. My roster composition is weird. Until Brady House is ready, my third basemen will be a converted SS of some sort. Correa is rated as the slightly better SS, so Rosario and Winn get to learn third! |

For defense, the base ratings are stagnant, but the amount of experience at the position isn't. So for my example, Winn started with 0 experience but the skills to be an 80 defender. He will slowly gain experience by playing the position. I'm not sure what happens with the other skills. Like if a guy is a 20 power with a future 40, I'm not sure how that increases nor when. |

And a tip for those that don't know, you can edit the columns and add more information. One of the things in there is potential at each position. So I added those to my position ratings page:  |

Not sure why Arraez wasn't since he plays there a decent amount in real life, but ah well. Second half of the season will be a better measure of their skill I imagine |

I think this week is proof that Ranger Suarez was the missing piece. Never should have traded him. Gonna win 100 this year!

When you edit the table, you can hit check boxes that show "3B Pot" and similar. Player pages only show positions that they have experience in. This can help inform you whether you should have that player learn a specific position or not. Sorry I am in the office today or I would give you screen shots |

Are we going to use the website to display standings and basic stats like we did last year? If we don't because it's too difficult, takes too long, or takes too much room, that's fine. I'm just curious.

I'm just curious. There is a discussion happening right now about that. I think we are going to get things set up for a new site. We'll figure out a way to archive our historical data and move forward. |

Does it do any good if they have a rating below 10 to start with? Can they become passable before the season is over. When we reset each spring you have to start over? Is this something to just do for fun or if a guy has a chance to be useful before the end of the season?? |

Nothing is being edited except the table. If a guy is under 10, he's probably pretty bad, but if he's 10/60 (meaning potential of 60), he could be decent in a few months time. If you need a second baseman, and you have an extra SS, it's worth it to try.

I did learn from doing this that Enamnuel Valdez has a potential rating of 80 at catcher, and his blocking potential is over 100. Could be great catcher! Except, his catching throwing is at a 2 🤣🤣

Except, his catching throwing is at a 2 🤣🤣 There are lots of random ratings like this. I don't know if they are mistakes from loading data into the game or just the devs being ridiculous. My favorite is Aaron Ashby having 128 OF Range as a pitcher. |

Can a guy improve enough to be usable though before the season is over if we are buying the new version every year?
I see the point if you play it out and play many seasons on the same years software but does it d Is any good to learn that new position if they have a low rating? How much can they gain in one season?

How much can they gain in one season? It isn't ideal to have to do it in season -- spring training gives defense experience at a much faster rate -- but it is viable. If a guy plays regularly at the position, he should be maxed out with experience by the end of the year. |

How much can they gain in one season? Personally, I would only do it out of necessity, and only with switches that make sense, ie moving a SS to 2B or 3B, or a CF to LF or RF. As fun as it would be to make Enmanuel Valdez into a GG catcher, it ain't worth the headache in this type of set-up. Also, you can make pretty much anyone a passable 1st baseman. |

I see the point if you play it out and play many seasons on the same years software but does it d Is any good to learn that new position if they have a low rating? How much can they gain in one season? The more they play, the faster they learn the position. I was without a 3B to start last year and moved Jake Croenworth over before I traded him. In just a 6 weeks, he was already at 45 (55 potential) for his 3B rating because his base skill ratings were good. Based on that experience, I am playing Connor Wong all over the field in a reserve role. I wouldn't sign a player with the expectation to change their position. If you have a logjam of talent, I would check their defensive ratings to see if they have the error rate and range and arm necessary for the position you need them to play. |
