Quick update...

After taking a couple busy days off I have started up on working on the giant puzzle that is the minor leagues.

I will implementing all the suggestions and names people have given me. PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING! They help so much!

I will post updates on the status of the roster every couple days. Right now I really would like some Angels and Mariners fans to send me any

names suggestions ideas etc they may have as I am starting with those two organizations...

Thank You!

Let get down to the dirty stuff!

Here are the Twins fake player names:

Brian Duensing: Brandon Durrington

Deolis Guerra: Domingo Guardado

Rob Delaney: Rex Denney

Kevin Mulvey: Kristopher Mears

Tim Lahey: Toni Lane

Oswaldo Sosa: Ozzie Sanchez

Kyle Aselton: Kevin Aaron

Jeff Manship: Jessie Morris

Jay Rainville: Jeremy Robbins

Casey Daigle: Chad Dorsey (TEX)

Jason Miller: Juan Mateo (DET)

C-Jeff Christy: Jerry Celic

C-Jose Morales: Jared Meekins

2B-Luke Hughes: Lynn Hundley

3B-Steven Tolleson: Stanley Toombs

2B-Tommy Watkins: Javier Guillen

OF-Brandon Roberts: Boyd Restovich

I'm not sure of any prospects from the Twins in the free agent list right now. The parentheses mean that is the team the player should be on now, not where they are on the roster.

For some reason when looking at the "Pitches" section in Edit Player for pitchers everything is grayed out for me. That means it's not possible to change the pitches a pitcher uses nor the ratings for the pitches.

Does anybody else have the same problem?

A guy did a bunch of names over at Operation Sports:

Fake Player Guide

He only got through like the Indians or so until he ran into the roster editing limit on 360. Btw, does anyone know if there is a roster editing limit on PC? Heres a few I saw that he missed:

HOU-Tyler Lumsden-Trent Logan

TOR-Matt Roney-Mike Rice

Here is a link to 2k forums notes on prospect names converted .

http://www.2ksports.com/forums/showthread.php?t=162631

Seems alot of names from 08 prospects are listed in here too.

Gamer, I'm pretty sure that topic is from 2K8.

Btw, I found an answer to the question I had earlier. Yes, there is a name editing limit on the PC version, which is a bunch of bull. I'm not sure if there is a way to get around it and if anyone knows one, please tell me.

I still have not been able to confirm that for PC anywhere

I was excited to start a franchise, and downloaded your rosters then started to add all of the top prospects (I type 85 ypm and flew through them) and it did stop me before I could add them all. I had a few teams left. I hate to say it, but it is confirmed. I will post screens when I get home.

snash: I followed your instructions with the file and replaced orig rosters with the snash rosters at load prompt. (I have Pc version)

But I dont see certain players like Ollie perez on the Mets. Did I do something incorrectly or were certain players left out of the rosters?

I noticed with the boxed Pc game,Ollie was not included on the mets roster either,for some reason.

Were some players left out due to contractual problems or free agency,etc?

Thanks

A few people were left out 'cuz he was in a hurry.

I don't think Tom Glavine is on the Braves, either.

Nope Tom Glavine is a FA. I picked him up in my Red Sox Dy-Nasty and now have this roto.

Matsuzaka

Beckett

Pedro <---- hes back in BOS<--trade

Smoltz Great combo

Glavine Great combo<--- FA

Jeff Samardzija <Trade

Clay Buckholz

John Pappelbon

Jon Lester

Tim Wakefield<Call up

Hideki Okajima

The Pitching Bar is Full so I guess that means 90+ for pitching

I picked up I. Rodrigez C and J. Edmonds OF off of FA as well

Juan Cruz (RP) signed by KC for 2 years.

Ron Mahay (RP) for the royals is nowhere to be seen, at least I have not found out where he is in game. Thanks for the rosters!

I have found out that Ron Mahay is in the free agent pool under a different name, Ross Moss or something stupid like that. He is a few people below the first page if you sort by setup men. Can you fix his name and assign him to the Royals on your next roster update? He has 1 year left on his contract, he had signed a 2 year 8M deal. Also Cruz's deal is 2 year 3.8M I believe. Thanks!

Pittsburgh Pirates fake names and changes:

2B Ruben Gotay and P Jason Davis should be signed from FA to AAA Indianapolis.

FA 1B Randy Murphy = Ryan Mulhern

FA 2B Angelo Moreno = Anderson Machado

WAS A 1B Luke Borders = Larry Broadway

CHC AA P Dave Valent = Donnie Veal (Bucs' rule 5 pick)

I think the rest of these guys are found in the Pirates' system in the game:

C Mariano Peralta - Miguel Perez

P Dave Deleon - Dave Davidson

P Darren Harper - Daniel Haigwood

P Jim Ham - Josh Hill

P Donald Hasler - Derek Hankins

P Kerry Butts - Kyle Bloom

P Bill Haynes - Bryan Holliday

OF Adrian McDonald - Andrew McCutchen

C Jamey Jacobson - Jason Jaramillo

OF Juan Tavarez - Jose Tabata (need huge ratings boost)

OF Joel Dunn - Jason Delaney

2B Sean Fung - Shelby Ford

OF Brett Cora - Brad Corley

OF Jerry Reith - Jamie Romak

1B Sheldon Lloyd - C Steven Lerud (has played 1B too, but is rated best defensive C in organization, so his ratings need some adjustment)

The following guys have either January 1st 19xx birthdays or birthdays just days off, but otherwise match up pretty closely to real players:

P David Mullis - Danny Moskos

P Bret Lemon - Brad Lincoln

FA P Jim Sanders - Jeff Sues

C David Mount - Michel Hernandez

2B Derek Soson - Pedro Lopez

FA P Virgil Spillane - Virgil Vazquez

actually...in the Cubs AAA...there is a Mark Kerr. That's Virgil Vazquez. Just look at his stats in the pitching section of his player card. Matches perfectly (as does birthdate). This is the 360 version..so i don't know if it's the same or not.

Here are some of the Free Agents I found in the game that have real counterparts:

FREE AGENTS

Starting Pitchers

#77 Buddy Howell= Blake Hawksworth. Put him on Memphis (Cardinals Triple A)

#27 Jake Krevsi= Ramon Ortiz (has his picture). Put him on San Francisco Triple A (minor league contract)

#72 Aaron Mason=Adam Miller (Put him on Cleveland Indians minor league system)

#45 Kirk Darby=Kyle Drabek (put him in Phillies minor league system)

#58 Tim Harikkala=Tommy Hanson (put him in Braves minor league system)

#62 Mark Baker=Madison Bumgarner (put him in Giants minor league system)

#19 Jake Jacobson=Jeremy Jeffress (race is incorrect but should be in Brewers minor league system)

#65 Clayton Wilson= Chase Wright. Move to Milwaukee Minor League System

#22 Max Powell=Mark Prior. Move to Padres minor league system

#22 Earl (last name begins with an M)= Eric Milton. Move to Dodgers system.

Relief Pitchers

#48 Randy Parsons=Rick Porcello (race is incorrect, however should be in Tigers minor league system)

#47 Tim Szotak=Scott Mathieson (put him in Phillies minor league system. Check player card under pitching stats...3 clicks of rt)

SetUp Pitchers

#32 Ryan Moss= Ron Mahay (put in Royals Triple A. Birthyear is incorrect but everything else matches. Birth years are wrong on all "replacement" players who participated in the 95 strike. So Kevin Millar's [Kyle Morgan of the Blue Jays] and Jamie Walker's [Jim Wilson of the Orioles] are also wrong)

Closers

#48 Robb Graman= John Rhienecker (still a free agent)

1B

Nick Rice=Nolan Reimold (race is incorrect as is position. Should be RF. Move to Baltimore Minor League System)

LF

#13 Mark Lowry- Matt LaPorta (put in Indians minor league system)

CF

#19 Felipe Marrero=Fernando Martinez (put in Mets minor league system but race is incorrect)

#25 Jack Martin=John Mayberry Jr. (race is incorrect. Should be in Phillies organization)

RF

#51 James Hunter= Jason Heyward (put in Braves minor league system)

also...for the Pirates...3B Neil Walker is listed as Norm Williams and is listed at Class A Sarasota in the Reds organization.
