... The generated players in the draft with long last names (such as Villanueva, Manzanillo, Van Hekken, Smitherman) had a letter cut off when there was room for it? ... The teams drafted in order of divison, and not by worst to best in the first season? .... The draft was only 2 rounds long? ..... The generated draft players were given bios and if it affects their abilities in any way? More to come.... |

2 rounds long to keep from flooding teams with prospects. 2 is just the right amount. |

Yeah, also one more last name... Van Hekken reads "Van Hekke" |

The generated draft players were given bios and if it affects their abilities in any way? I don't understand - why are you surprised about this? |

Sorry, I didn't realize. From what I can tell, those phrases make no difference whatsoever; however, the few times the description read "was an MVP," the player had the stats to back it up. Still, the former MVP could be seen as the best all-around player in the draft without that phrasing. In a way, I finds it odd how when checking a players abilities using the set of screens where you can check throwing, batting, fielding, etc - where you'll see of there are special abilities - pitchers will be classified as "starters" "mop up" etc, and I find that except for experienced players, those are generally irrelevant |
