You need range and arm at CF, so Navarette would be good there. Duarte would be a good LF. I also see a lot of players on your major league roster that have similar builds and that kind of limits where you can play them. Also having players with a hitting report in their scouting report can help increase offense and possibly get you some more wins. |

Pig_Cola Joined: 09/15/2013 Posts: 1445 Glendale Marshals III.2 | The prospects that you should cut are ones that don't have a hitting comment unless they have a good amount of fielding, range, and arm to be a SS or 2B. You should cut pitchers that have a control report that says "He will always be lacking in control" or "He will always be wild". Taking a quick look at your minors, you need to add more pitchers and release some of the position players you have. Majority of the position you have don't have a hitting report at all and some won't be good at fielding as well. |

AA: Melendez has a control issue (which sometimes works but usually doesn't) and gives up a ton of homers (1 HR/10 IP is the ideal), and also has a lot of points in fielding categories - I'd look to replace him. Ortiz doesn't have a hitting report, and as a lefty is limited to 1B or a corner outfielder spot at best. He doesn't have much to recommend, I'd replace him too. Bonilla is a backup OF at best, not enough points in hitting stats even when fully developed. Morse is a nice prospect, should be a very solid hit/on base guy, but he's not a SS (you'd want 15+ fielding there and he should max at 12 at the most). He'd make an excellent CF though with 3B as a fallback. White is another good prospect, he'll make a solid LF. A: Wrobel is a nice pitcher, should be good. Carmona will make for a solid defensive SS and backup 3B, but he'll never hit much. Stark is the better prospect and somewhat wasted in the OF - I'd move him to SS and have Carmona as a backup plan. Donati will make a very nice 3B though he could just be okay with the bat, still a nice guy to have. Cheney is a cut for me - its almost never worth having a defensive replacement OF on the roster, not when hitting is so hard to find and roster spots are at a premium. Rookie: Rader is a borderline prospect but worth keeping for now. Cockrell is a cut - won't hit at the majors level, doesn't have a defensive position (need 16+ Arm at C). Turpin/Beck - backup C/OF at best, I'd cut both. Oliveri - same, though he could play 3B but can't hit. Basics? You want a positive (good, but preferably very good or great) hitting report, and preferably with power, for all your hitters. Pitching? An out pitch (fastball and/or breaking ball) report with no control issues. That's true for the majors as well as the minors. Good managers are hard to find but a $5M salary for a manager in LLVI is a lot of money. I'd look for someone cheaper, but getting someone as good or better will be tough. A quick look over your majors roster, your team looks okay not great. I think a lot of your team's success is down to the opposition as opposed to talent at your end: four bots, three of whom lost at least 95 games, makes for some inflated numbers. |
