Proper Batting Stances/Pitching Deliveries

I just think Franco is WAY too exaggerated to use for anyone except Julio Franco. The only guy I can think of that even comes close to looking like that in real life is Kevin Millar.

The reason there isn't great variety in stances is because a lot of the stances in the game are so outlandish that they can't be used for more than a couple players (Bent, Franco, High, pretty much all of the old-fashioned ones, Sierra, Batista, and a bunch of others). Carlos Guillen is definitely Renteria. Renteria doesn't fit as perfectly with Youkilis or Martinez but it's still the best of the available options.

Just another point on Derrek Lee: I think the reason everyone gives him such upright, rigid stances is because he LOOKS like he's upright on TV because he's so damn tall. But if you really look close you'll see that he's about halfway between upright and crouched.

I realize Lee is tall and bends his knees, etc. Another player like him is Alex Rios....Lee and Rios seem to have a Bernie Williams-type stance, but taller or more upright, with the tense knee bend.

We can nitpick all day, but its just that some of these suggestions make me question whether these people even watch baseball.

Here's a few that I've come up with: (not any any order by any means)

Pie = Delgado

Glaus = Generic

Ludwick/Polanco = Fullmer

Felipe Lopez = Walker

Hunter Pence = Walker

ryan Braun = A. Jones

A. Jones = Beltre

I guess you could give Jose Reyes and Orlando Hudson the Delgado stance.

Nady could possibly be Walker...

For youkilis I use Renteria... it looks awful, but eh.

I guess Franco could be a good option too. Maybe not. IDK. I don't see how Vina's would work

Anybody have a pitching delivery for Jake Peavy?

I use Pettite, which sucks.

Prior would be a good possibility, but his arms don't go above his head in that wind up. Any suggestions?

Ichiro fits Iwaruma pretty well. For Lester, Mulder or Glavine work. For Garza, maybe Morris?

For Pena, I use either Walker or c. Jones...

For Upton, I use Ordonez. I could be wrong.

Anybody have a good delivery for Peavy or Kazmir?

Pena is kinda like A-Rod's stance, from the left side. Crawford's stance has become similar to Coco Crisp's, who I have as Walker. Neither of them move their body like that, but their body is similarly posed.

Besides the crappy wiggle in the Burnitz option, I think that that best fits Crisp. I use C. Jones for Crawford...

And for Sonnastine I use the Redman pitching delivery, because of the weird arm mechanics.

Here's some stances for the NL Central I've come up with:

Astros:

Bourn: Walker/Delgado/Crouched (I use Garciaparra)

Rodriguez: Generic/Ordonez

Berkman: A. Rodriguez (pretty darn close IMO)

Lee: A Rod as well (maybe Walker, his is a harder stance to master)

Tejada: Ordonez

Pence: I use Walker, but the Bagwell stance doesn't look to bad either.

Brewers:

Weeks: Sheffield or Everett

Hardy: k. Matsui maybe... a reall tough one.

Fielder: Walker

Braun: Klesko

Hart: Arod

Cameron: Beltre

Billy Hall: Walker?

Kendall: Giles

Cardinals:

Schumaker: I use the Ortiz stance, the Burnitz stance works well too.

Rasmus: Walker stance (pretty close)

Ludwick: the only stance that comes close to replicating his weird stance is the Fullmer stance

Ankiel: Ordonez

Greene: This one is a doozy. I've use the Walker stance, the Rodriguez stance, and the Ordonez stance. None of them seem to fit well.

Molina: Here's another quirky stance problem. Walker/Rodriguez/C. Jones/Crouched/Williams. Take your pick

Thurston: Ortiz (perfect)

Barden: Generic

Duncan: A Rod

B. Ryan: H. Matsui

LaRue: Crouched/Generic

Cubs:

Theriot: K. Matsui

D. Lee: L. Gonzalez

Ramirez: Thome/Giambi

Fukudome: Alou

Johnson: Piazza

Fontenot: Ordonez

Soto: crouched

Miles: Reggie JAckson

Pirates:

McLouth: Walker

Sanchez: Walker

Doumit: C. Jones

Wilson: Ordonez maybe?

Moss: AROD

Juan Pierre wannabe (Morgan): H. Matsui

Adam LaRoche: Giambi

Reds:

Tavaras: Ordonez

Bruce: Walker maybe?

Votto: Beltre

Phillips: C. Jones

Encarnacion: couldn't really find a good one. I use the Garciaparra stance

Gonzalez: h. Matsui

Hernandez: Chipper

The Guy in left (name escapes me thanks to a fever of 101): AROD

Some pretty good choices with the stances. By the way, the Reds left fielder would be Chris Dickerson.

Also, here's what I went with for the stances you're not quite sure about:

C. Lee: C. Jones

J.J. Hardy: K. Matsui

Ludwick: C. Jones

K. Greene: M. Ramirez

Y. Molina: Walker

J. Wilson: Helton

E. Encarnacion: Klesko/A. Jones/Walker maybe

And here's some I would've considered myself:

Tejada: Everett

Pence: A. Rodriguez

R. Braun: Green

C. Hart: C. Jones or Walker

B. Hall: Delgado

Schumaker: R. Jackson

Ankiel: Lofton

Theriot: V. Guerrero

D. Lee: Open

Fukudome: Ichiro or H. Matsui

Miles: Classic 3

F. Sanchez: Klesko

Ad. LaRoche: Klesko

haha, yeah. I figured it out as soon as I logged out. I just had a mental lapse lol.

For Doumit, I changed his stance to the Klesko stance.
