Switch to BM13 for 2031 season

The best time to move would be following the world series and before the re-signing file. This will allow people to plan their re-signings around the rating changes.

And as I said in the other thread...

I'm not worried about rating changes. As some go up, others will go down. Another positive is the ability to choose the buyout percentage, which I can imagine would help some of the tedious work of editing cash.

I'd just like to give another vote of confidence to BM '13. I've been looking through the default file and I'm impressed with the defensive changes. The biggest thing that I notice is defense doesn't improve as much as it used to. I think it's incredibly unrealistic for some of the defensive progressions we've seen on BM '11. You can progress defensively, but it's rare to take what would be an average defender on draft day and turn him into a Gold Glover. For BM '11 you routinely see mid 70s defensive vitals turning into very good fielders.

Back to the catcher I was referencing, with one year left to progress he's projected to improve Assists +1 and Putouts +6. This has no improvement on the big three vital ratings for defense, though I'm sure there's some minute effects to the various things listed on the skills tab. Also, in LF he's projected to improve Putouts +3, which boosts Range +1. For a one year of development Outfielders surely improve more than just +1 Range wise.
