Best Created Players

Post by Cardinals »

Was having this conversation with a couple people lately. Who are the best players you've created as free agents? Obviously, the draft doesn't count for this. I've made my fair share of solid prospects/players over the last few years:


Pirates Darren ODay MR Create 3/15/08 3:16 pm
Pirates Kenley Jansen CL Create 5/30/08 1:10 am
Pirates Cesar Puello RF Create 9/17/08 1:17 am
Pirates Darwin Barney 2B Create 4/20/09 6:57 pm
Pirates Matt Carpenter 3B Create 6/2/10 10:42 pm
Pirates Oscar Taveras CF Create 8/10/10 12:35 pm
Pirates Trevor Rosenthal MR Create 4/8/11 11:13 pm
Pirates Mookie Betts 2B Create 2/22/12 4:48 pm
Pirates Edwin Escobar SP Create 4/11/12 12:03 am
Pirates Yan Gomes C Create 5/17/12 1:39 pm
Pirates Teoscar 11-Hernandez OF Create 4/26/13 1:24 pm



That's probably the best of the bunch there. Varying degrees of worth, but a solid list.

Goes back to March 2006. Should be pretty accurate.

I'll play

Athletics Antonio Bastardo MR Create 9/2/07 12:54 am
Athletics Randall Delgado SP Create 8/29/07 2:57 am

Look like the highlights. Swindle was a sweet sim lefty for a couple of years, the rest of these guys all played some. Xander obviously the biggest one, sure wish I hadn't given up on Keuchel so quickly. Looking forward to seeing some of my more recent creations can do to join this list

Nobody significant for me. I was better at finding under the radar relievers like Clippard, Venters, etc. and signing them after they were in the database but before anyone else grabbed them

So my list sucks

Bryan Shaw 2/22/2012 1:09 PM
Ronald Torreyes 7/30/2010 1:38 AM
Jonathan Villar 7/10/2010 3:35 AM

I even went to look through all of Dave's old creates and he didn't do much creating either. His best would have been Brett Pill who is now playing over in Korea.

Any particular way to look up what players have been created by a franchise? Or we just going off memory?

This will be a little difficult. I don't have much of any as my tenure as GM in Houston. But this franchise has found a few:

Astros A.J. Griffin SP Create 4/30/11 10:19 pm
Astros Kris Medlen SP Create 11/2/07 11:58 am
Astros Allen Craig 1B Create 5/30/07 8:05 pm
Astros Alejandro De Aza CF Create 3/28/07 10:25 am

As the former GM of the Reds, I don't think the records go that far back.

But here are a few that I know were me:

Reds Derek Holland SP Create 8/16/07 5:02 pm
Reds Mike 0-Lincoln MR Create 4/28/08 8:22 pm
Reds Robbie Grossman CF Create 1/2/09 4:15 pm

Thats about it. Throw Jose Tabata on there..thats one I know from memory. Wish we had records further back, there would be more.

Thanks for the help on finding this info..shows how often i visit the transactions page..ha.

I was Astros in 07 actually, you were still Reds. The franchises don't change in OOPSS with the GM

Where is Tullar's list, pretty sure when I look for a player Patrick has already signed them a month earlier.

Chris Davis did not show up in my OOPSS list, and I just remembered another that did not show up on list - RF Gerardo Parra. We'll put him in CF and send LoMo to the bench.

I created David Holmberg, but nothing else has had much success (I've only created like 10 guys since I started). Now that I'm starting to have more success and am less stacked with top prospects, I'll be creating more guys. Right now I'm carrying Edmundo Sosa, 18 year old SS in the Cards system who is showing some great promise. Also have Tyler Wade, SS in the Yankees system who is putting together a solid season.
