I have a good question.

Lets say the top 100 rookies are listed by Baseball American (BA),

Do you arbitrarily look at, say the top 10, or top 25 and assign them a star rating of 5 or 4?

If not, why not?

If so, how do you discern what to assign each player.

I've come to this question as I've been scouting Jeremy Hermida in 2008 of my dynasty and am wanting to take him on my team via trad but I think, am not sure, he has a star rating of 3 when I believe it should be a 4-5. I have a list of 4-5 players I will try to trade for and then I saw BA put their list of top 100 players and all fo these questins came to mind. Any words or discussion about this would be appreciated. Thank you. Mo.

Do you guys know if Total Audio works with any version of UR? Like, what if I have UR .49 or .50. will Total Audio cause my game to crash or do I need Total Audio .53 to go with UR .53, you know, have the versions .53 match up in other words. Like if I have .49 of UR, do I need to find me a past version of Total Audio of .49 for example. Thanks.

Unclo Mo: I assume it wouldn't crash. I think audio can be assigned to anyone. The worst thing you would have is a wrong name.

As someone mentioned in the "Issues" thread, Piazza's numbers are still a little too high. He has a steady decline now for three years and it's only going to get worse, especially playing at Petco. Suffice to say, he will not be the top hitting catcher in the national league this year.

Jeff Keppinger, a member of the Mets, should have a higher contact rating that he does. He has hit .325 in single A, .334 and .362 in AA, .337 in AAA last year be fore injury and a decent .284 in 116 AB's two seasons ago in the majors.

His plate discipline should be raised as well,

2002: 47 BB , 33 SO (478 ab)

2003: 23 BB , 28 SO (342 ab)

2004: 43 BB , 28 SO (505 ab)

2005: 16 BB , 13 SO (255 ab)

If you look at it, he's a pretty decent little player. I'm surprised he's not regarded any higher in the Mets system. Plus, he plays a few positions pretty well.

Is it possible to import Johnny Damon's MVP04 cyberface to PS2 so he has no facial hair?

No, I don't think so.

NYY AAA (Columbus Clippers):

--Eric Duncan (may be in AA in your rosters, is going to start in AAA this year)- Stance Glaus

--Kevin Howard- Skin tone is too light, should be somewhere between faces 13-15

--Kevin Thompson- Same with Howard, Skin tone too light

Tampa Yankees (A)

--James Brent Cox- I wanted to edit him because I believed that he deserved 4 star potential, however whenever I edit him the James Brent of his name dissapears, and he becomes just J. Cox.

--Perhaps create Jose Tabata, Tore up the Rookie League last year hitting .320 with over 20 steals

--Austin Jackson- skin tone needs to be darkened a little bit maybe, also his facial hair should be removed as no Yankees have facial hair

-- Jon Poterson- skin tone darker

Mark, what's your take on this?

I haven't decided yet but I'll I'm thinking about reading the scouting reports carefully and look at stats to try and build my own opinion on players. The top 10-15 players will probably be rated with a star power of 5 while you might see a guy ranked 97 with a 5 too. As of now, it seems that most 4's will be handed out.

Actually Totte, I wouldn't go handing out 5 star players to ALL the players in the top 10-15. People have said that this list was weak compared to years past, especially pitchers.

UR 5.2 has been post-poned 'til tomorrow because I don't want to release anything just halfway done.

Also, thanks to Tony3 for the transactions =)

Pitcher Kirk Rueter retires.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Kirk Rueter retired Monday, ending a 13-year major league career during which he became the winningest left-handed pitcher in San Francisco Giants history.

In the 5.1 rosters Bob Wickman of the Indians is rated with an 89 velocity for his fastball and a 91 velocity for is sinker.........I believe it is reversed?

We discussed this before Christmas and agreed that the velocities were correct.

Really?.....is that something the pitcher is doing on purpose, or is that just his natural disposition?

One person i think should be added on to the Braves roster is Eric Campbell - 3B - Atlanta Braves. He is the best 3B prospect the braves have. Wonderful rosters so far...keep it up!!

Sorry but I have to do that. Just got home from floorhockey practice and there's something wrong with my connection making my Internet run terribly slow. I still have some work to do on 5.2 plus the changes you just posted and Mark e-mailed. Look for the new version tomorrow night instead. That's 99,9% sure :D

just wondering what the major changes are going to be in 5.2. are minor league teams going to have full 25 man rosters or will that be more for the opening day release? just curious. thanks again for the great work.
