One other selfish roster request I have, biased though I am as a Cub fan, is to consider adjusting Javier Baez's personality type a bit. He is given all the worst traits in the game and that seems a bit harsh. The reality is that he's an incredibly hard worker, a very emotional player, a "sparkplug," and helped care for his [now deceased] disabled younger sister while growing up. His dad died when he was 10 years old and he taught himself English by procedurally memorizing words as a middle-school aged kid--after coming over to the U.S. so his family could get medical treatment for his sister.

He's been criticized somewhat for his flashiness and swinging for the fences when a more balance approach would be better. But, he's basically a good dude that has really become a team leader over the past couple of years. It would be nice to see some "green" qualities on his player profile instead of the "orange" ones.
