So the draft picks of 2006 is Project 1
Project 2, may need someone who has Baseball America access for this. I want to get the same basic information for all the 2007 top 200 likely draft picks.
Name, Pos, B, T, HT, WT, DOB, Place of Birth, Ranking in the list
Project 3, College team. I want to get the colleges into the game as well. So I know that Foz has already put together a template for the colleges. What I want now is for someone to put together spreadsheets with the rosters from the team web pages. So I need the basics
Name, Pos, B, T, HT, WT, DOB, Place of Birth, Year
For this I would say that people should post what conference they want to work on, put 1 conference per spreadsheet together, sign up in the thread here for a conference, do the conference, send me the conference, update saying it is done here in the thread. Then if you have time grab another one.
Project 4, I will be looking for people who can help to update the player text files in the game so that we have all their proper history in the game. I will be putting out a list of the things that "I" will want to have in the files. This will be a very long project and will probably have people work on a team at time because it can be very tedious.
Project 5, Will have people going through and doing QC on the players, making sure that we have their Pro Years and MLB time correct. This was a huge problem in the 2006 sets as players were becoming eligible for Rule 5 way to early, 6 year minor league FA too early and this will also affect arbitration and free agent timing.
So basically what I am doing now is to make this a community roster project for things. Everyone has stated that they want to be part of it and want to help well folks now is the time to do so. Now by doing this it is going to make the rosters probably take a little more time to get fully done, but once we have all of this put together it will make it a roster file that will be easy to add to going forward and make every file that much quicker to release.
