I am sure most of you know this but I stumbled on this browsing just a few minutes ago:

Very interesting! Thanks caseybats.

1's on defense:

2B - Hudson & Phillips
SS - OCab, Rollins, Vizquel
CF - several players
RF - Victorino & F Gutierrez
LF & 3B - none

I am new at this.

What does it mean 3-B2?

Thanks.

That means a 3 in the advanced game and a 2 in the basic game.

Thank you LMBombers. :D

[quote:690633bc4a]Please take note of the following codes. You will see one of the following abbreviations next to a players name under the CARD column.. The abbreviation refers to the type of card he will receive. Here is the defintion for each abbreviation:

Reg: Regular Team Cards
Mix: Mixed Player Group
Add: Additional Player Cards
Comp: Computer Player Only (no printed card)

There a few batters with no range ratings, they were either DH's or played no time in the field but had at-bats. Pitcher range ratings are not included in this file.

A player with a split rating (basic/advanced) will have for example 2-B3. This means he has a 2 rating in the advanced game and a 3 rating in the basic game.

Like MLBombers, said a 3-B2. Means a 3 in advanced fielding ratings and a 2 in basic. This happens when a guy makes an extremely high or low amount of errors, since basic fielding does not have an error rating. For example a 2B-3 e1 might be a 2B-2 in basic, while a 2B-3 e36 might be a 2B-4 in basic.

Does anybody know if "MIX", "ADD", or "COMP" players will be in the online game? For example, Jacoby Ellsbury is "MIX." Will he be in TSN's game?

I hope not :twisted: :P

.....unless it means you are trading.......

The basic rating, just in case it wasn't clear, doesn't matter at all in TSN :)

The only thing you know for sure is that COMP players are not in the TSN game. For all other players, it's going to depend on whether TSN feels their card can plausibly be used as a representation of what they'd do in a full season, based on the amount of playing time they got and their talent level.

Complete list of 1s:

C: Y. Molina, Varitek, Martin
1B: D. Lee, Pujols, Kotchman, Youkilis, Mientkiewicz, Teixiera
2B: B. Phillips, O. Hudson
3B: Lowell, A. Beltre
SS: J. McDonald, O. Cabrera, Rollins, Vizquel
LF: C. Crawford
CF: G. Sizemore, T. Hunter, Ichiro, V. Wells, An. Jones, C. Beltran, Rowand, N. Morgan
RF: Francoeur, Victorino, F. Gutierrez

Hard to understand Adrian Gonzalez getting a 2. He's a vacuum @ first.
