MLBTS 20 Historic Rosters

biebig2010,
Working with your rosters as mentioned earlier BUT if I execute a fantasy draft certain players are not available in the draft.
Two examples are Christy Mathewson & Juan Marichal.
I have tried several things to get them into the draft but nothing seems to allow them in. I imagine there are several other players with this issue as well and was just wondering if you had any ideas on how I may correct this situation.
They are available, however, as Free Agents once into Spring Training.
Thanks, Don

I haven't run into that issue. I'll try a fantasy draft in the next few days and see if I have the same problem with those players.
Are you using my ALL TIME GREATS roster as I uploaded it or is this a roster of mine that you have been modifying?
-
@stecropper I tried a fantasy draft with my ALL TIME GREATS roster and for some reason Mathewson and Marichal aren't available in the draft. I looked at those two players in particular and don't see anything in any of their settings that would make them any different than any other player.
I don't have an answer as to why they are excluded from the fantasy draft.
-
Me neither --- but I have discovered that they are typically signed as the season progresses. Weird thing is "IF" I wished to be less than fair I could pick them both up the 1st day of spring training. But in my franchise I let the computer handle all that stuff.
So, I was concerned with it all but now discovering how they are eventually signed makes it all OK for me.
I am 17 teams into merging every player from Your '50s-'60s roster into Your All Time Greats. I will eventually attempt to replace all "EXTRA" type players in the roster's Free Agency but that will likely be accomplished once I start merging in Your '70s-'80s players as Version 2 of these mergers since I discovered those a little late in the process.
Thanks Once Again Bigbig2010 --- Your rosters are truly magnificent !

Would love to see the 95 Mariners, that team was fun to watch .... Also, when I think of the greatest teams of all time... The 98 Yankees man, that team was STACKED !!

The 2001 Mariners had a lot more wins than the 95 Mariners so I went with the 2001 team over the 95 team.
I agree the 98 Yankees were one of the best teams of all time. The 27 Yankees were one of the best teams of all time too though. In fact, the 27 Yankees had a .714 winning percentage compared to a .704 winning percentage for the 98 Yankees. Hell, the 1939 Yankees rank right up there too with a .702 winning percentage. And who can forget the 1961 Yankees. They won at a .673 clip.
Lots of tough choices for the greatest teams of all time for each franchise.

Curious. Are you leaning towards the 1919 white sox and what about the giants.

OH no doubt the 2001 M's were the choice for the better overall team, I just thought that 95 team was more exciting in terms of offensive fire power, Griff, Edgar, Tino, Buhner, a young Arod was a great combo.... M's ownership BLEW IT in the mid 90's ... M"s could a won a title with that team had they kept Tino and improve the pitching, but they did the opposite... Yankees benefited from that... Would be cool to see historic teams playable someday, like old school Madden games...

Just Uploaded "Biebig2010s merged ATGs 50s60s" Roster.
It is every player from your '50s-'60s Roster Set moved into your All Time Greats Roster Set that wasn't there already. A total of 494 Players were moved.
This creates a fantastic Roster for use in a Franchise Fantasy Draft scenario.
I have long been an admirer of Your Rosters and wanted to create something that is more to my liking to use in a Franchise Fantasy Draft.
Nothing was changed what-so-ever with ONLY Player Movement/Replacement taking place.
I think this has created a Grand Roster for us Classic Roster Guys that go back to the '50s & '60s combined with many of the Pre-50s and Post-60s Star Players included.
Thanks Again for your unsurpassed contributions to this Classic Community,

Yes, the 1919 White Sox. They didn’t win the World Series but they should have. The 1917 team had a better winning percentage and win the World Series but the 1919 team is the most famous (or is that infamous).
As far as Giants are concerned I’m currently leaning toward the 54 Giants.

Willie Mays vs Christie Mathewson. Two of my absolute favorites. Hard to forget Musial and Joltin Joe. When i was little I loved the Grover Cleveland Alexander movie with Reagan, therefore really liked Rogers Hornsby. My dad being from Cincinnati and telling me all the stories of going to Crosley field in 1919 when he was 7 and thru the 20s was only beaten when he took me to Crosley in the early 60s and saw Robinson and Pinson and Rose who was a rookie going up against Chris Short of the Phillies. Loved the Reds and hated the 61 Yankees. What a team them [censored] Yankees were!!

I literally just posted basically the same thing without even seeing this post of yours lol....I see we think alike as in what we really think was the best mariners team if not counting the win total

SF 1954Dude these rosters are amazing to a baseball nerd like myself. I haven't messed around with any custom rosters yet myself, so this might be a dumb question.
The Darryl Strawberry on the 86 Mets...does he look like Darryl?
-
Thank you. I know over the years I keep saying how great your rosters are but the detail from equipment to hitting, pitching and fielding are unparalleled in any created rosters in any electronic sports game! On a different note, have you decided on the A's team and I guess it will be the 2007 Rockies. Again, thanx!
-
Whoops! My bad. Didnt look at your alltime list I was so excited about new roster, 1990 A's great choice. 2007 Rockies my choice. Can't wait.

Yes, I think it looks fairly close to Darryl. When you see him batting or fielding from a distance it looks like him and when you see his face close up it looks fairly decent.

There was some really, really, really tough choices to make.
The Yankees for example. I was torn between the 1927 Yanks and the 1998 Yanks. It was tough to leave behind the 1939 Yanks and the 1961 Yanks as well.
Boston was another tough choice. I really like the 1946 team and the 1975 team but I went with the 2004 team because they broke the curse of the Bambino.
San Francisco, St Louis, Pittsburgh, Wash/Mon, and Oakland also presented some really tough choices.
-
86 mets vs 69 mets another tough one. I'm really thrilled with all the choices and can't wait to start my playoffs. Thanx.
