Real international Free Agents

Artoo_Detoo · 10-27-2017, 08:16 AM

Hey all, I haven't gotten far into the game, but I'm trying to create a fictional league. Does anyone know the frequency of "real" intentional free agents, i.e., those coming from [league redacted] (Japan) and Korean Baseball Organization, rather than the generated ones? I know players can be posted once in a while, but I haven't seen free agents from abroad, or at least I never got emails that they existed, whereas I know you get emails for the 10 generated international free agents once free agents filling is complete. Thanks.

i can't speak from experience on rate.

i'm not sure you get an email in teh same way, either... could be wrong. there's a "posted players" section of Free agents. may be more like waivers, if no generated. things may work differently doing it the right way

My question is do people feel the quality of players in the Nippon league is too great compared to that of MLB?

There has always been debate as to how Nippon compares to MLB...some say it's MLB (or very close) equivalent...while others say AAA level quality. I myself feel it likely in the middle and is AAAA quality.

So i guess my question is if people feel the PCM's for the Nippon league is a bit high?...especially for pitchers
