BP Expansion
Rob will be launching a site dedicated to what he, and friends (which means you), add to the soon to be growing rank of expanded BPs. I think Rob prefers to dedicate the time that he'll spend on sourcing, editing and preparing, and then hosting and organizing, BP files to older parks, but that shouldn't stop you from seeing if he'll be interested in more contemporary images that you may work up.
I'll be out of the country for much of February so you should keep your eyes peeled for news of the site's debut at Dan's.Read more...

Yay, hey, it's that time of year. The new Peak set is here!
New for 2012 are Adrian Beltre, Miguel Cabrera, Robinson Cano, Chase Utley, and CC Sabathia. Edited for 2011 stats are Carlos Beltran, Lance Berkman, Jimmy Rollins, and Roy Halladay. (2011 was not a great year for peak performers.)
I hope this is helpful in letting you find similar stats for players to supplement your mega-Best rosters. If you find a close similarity from a season set to a peak GarLen stat line, post about it in Comments and maybe other guys will want to add that card to their set.
I removed a lot of the marginal field position ratings of the HoF, Heroes and GarLen cards too, but not for the Negro set as I don't have SOM's stat sheets for that. If you're using the HoF and Heroes in a large card universe you might want to do something similar. It adds value to the flexible position players, and to the primary field of the lesser stars.
I'll do this a bit different this year, with a position at a time that includes a quiz or 2 for those who wish to chance their luck. Winners to be rewarded in a moderate way. I'll figure a little something out.
If you want to put your name down for what I'd really love to see happen, which is a draft league of 30 teams from this monster set by the Willing, please leave your name for me in Comments.
So over the jump to the Catchers.

May 31
Moons ago I started work on a SAdv version of 1956, for my own box of toys. I got pretty far along, until it became time for work to begin on all the stuff for V 17. (The few of us involved "work" almost year 'round these days, so it doesn't leave too much time for an indulgence.)
I must be about 90 or 95% done with the AL, which I'll finish off once V 17 is out of the way. To keep this project present in my thoughts until then, I'll be using this section to post about a fresh replay of the set. Probably I'll just do daily boxes; I'm not sure yet what I'll do. (If you want to see something in particular let me know.)
So, before I restart the set, I'm posting, over-the-jump, the results of my last test replay, for any curious of you.

I wanted to model a Japan set that was quite similar in design to a hybrid of SOM's HoF and Heroes sets. This set draws from the player pool between the years 1936, the start of the professional game in Japan, right through to 2010. Some of the players you will be familiar with, by name if not by deed, like the stars Sadaharu Oh, Shigeo Nagashima, perhaps even Yutaka Enatsu. You'll recognize quite a few of the players who were ex-ML who became stars in the Japan leagues, like Charlie Manuel, Leon Lee, and Alex Cabrera. You may have read about, or perhaps encountered in my classic team cards or in one of Fred or Gary's sets, stars like Fumio Fujimura, Tetsuharu Kawakami, and Kohji Akiyama. And you will perhaps have watched at your ballpark the recent influx of Japan's best like Hideo Nomo, Ichiro!, and Hideki Matsui. Maybe you're curious about the buzz on the young star pitcher Yu Darvish.
The set is two-fold:
A computer set (V 16 required).
A pdf book that includes all of the Heroes in a print-to-card format.
Over the jump we bring you The Pro Yakyuu : Eiyuu (Japan's Professional Baseball Heroes) set for your delight, and maybe even your enlightenment.

Here's something that Ray and I put together. It's just for the comp guys as it is a requirement that in order to use/view this set, you must have all of the 1990 seasons (1990-1999) authorized.
