cybernetic Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 There was a Steven Smith, 2B, drafted in 2001 (34th round, 1019th pick) by the Angels but I don't find him on any of the Angels depth charts or on a general name search at minorleaguebaseball.com or mlb.com. Probably means he retired or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiddy Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 No offense but these rosters are worth spending 40 bucks on to get the PC version and 2000 to get a computer fast enough to play the game. I'll just stick with 2.2 on the xbox. Still think it's pretty [naughty word] of the guy to stop doing conversion because his panties are in a bunch. his panties in a bunch? he stopped b/c some people didnt listen to him. he didnt want them added anywhere on the net and some guys didnt listen. also he didnt stop converting the rosters to xbox. you have to be a donar on his site to get them. you should be lucky that a guy was converting rosters for ya, saving you some money on a new pc and game.

miget33 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Watching the Cubs game yesterday it seems that Sergio Mitre is throwing a curveball. The ball had a 10-4 trajectory with velocity around 78 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teeds Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 It could mean that he is injured and on the DL. I haven't been able to find out any information on this guy other than he was drafted in 2001, and the last transaction i could find was from june of 2003 when he was called up to arkansas. I suggest that he is moved to free agents, zach sorenson goes from AA to AAA, william collazo from A to AA, and Nick Adenhart from FA to A. Also, it took me an hour to peruse the angels roster on mvp and double check skin color, ht/wt, birthdays, etc., from each of their minor league affiliates official websites. I did it because i want to help out and fix any errors to make the ultimate roster more complete because these guys did a tremendous job. anyone care to help do the same with other teams? we'll gather the info and post it here for llcmac to see.

sfgiantsflgators Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Heres the Royals vital stats changes: first thing: move Alex Prieto from Reading Phillies to the Omaha Royals ROYALS MLB Alberto Castillo - Born 2/10/70, weight 215 Jaime Cerda - weight 200 Ruben Gotay - weight 175 Graffanino - doesn't have anything to do with the game but he was born in amityville, ny...wonder if he lived near "the house" Grienke - weight 175 Runelvys Hernandez - weight 250 AAA Paul Phillips - weight 200 Calvin Pickering - weight 280 Alex Preito - change name to Alejandro Chris Truby - birthday 12/9/73 Denny Hocking - goatee Jamie Jones - weight 215 Justin Huisman - birthday 4/16/79 Steve Stemle - weight 225 Dennis Tankersley - weight 215 AA Byron Embry - weight 265, birthday 9/5/76 Thad Markray - weight 210, he's also black/no facial hair John Draper - weight 190 Justin Huber - bats R, 7/1/82, height 6'2 Donnie Murphy - weight 200 Shane Costa - weight 220 Leo Nunez - 8/14/80 A Barry Armitage - weight 255 Jonah Bayliss - 8/19/80 Mitch Maier - bats L Chris Lubanski - weight 185 Luis Cota - weight 180 Brian McFall - 6/17/84 Billy Buckner - weight 215 i'll go through the giants later. also, on skin color, i don't know the skin tone number system too well except that high is dark and low is light...so i will only be catching the ones that i know are wrong (i.e. Thad Markray).

sfgiantsflgators Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Everything to this point has been added, cept Rich Hil, I'll add him later tonite.l damn, you're fast. well here's some more for ya ---------------------------------------------------------------------- move Seung Song from FA to SJ Giants GIANTS MLB Noah Lowry - weight 210 AAA Brandon Villafuerte - weight 195 (probably switch from Slim to Athletic) Yamid Haad - weight 225 Mike Cervenak - weight 202 Jamie Athas - weight 190 Doug Clark - bats L Julio Ramirez - 8/10/77 Adam Shabala - bats L AA Matt Cain - weight 215 Chris Begg - 9/12/79 Carlos Valderrama - 11/30/77, weight 190 Guillermo Rodriguez - 5/15/78 A Kevin Frandsen - weight 175 (Athletic to Slim) Garrett Broshuis - weight 170 Pablo Sandoval - weight 180 also, create Clay Timpnor (5/13/83, L/L, 6'2, 197). Baseball America rates him as #18 in the system. Here's some excerpt from the Prospect Handbook: "...best defensive outfielder in the system, as he's more accomplished than [Fred] Lewis in centerfield. Timpner has above-average speed and maximizes his range by getting great jumps and taking good routes. His arm is average. [...] efficient basestealer [...] one of the better baserunners in the org. SF doesn't expect him to hit for power at the MLB level [...] isn't sure if he'll drive the ball or be a slap hitter. His bat will determine [...] everday CF or useful extra outfielder." http://www.topprospectalert.com/claytimpner.jpg PS...yay. 100th post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GamerPyle Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Brad Eldred shouldnt have 20 power it should be more like 60-70 power like you gave Balientien and Fielder. • It doesn't get much hotter than Double-A Altoona first baseman Brad Eldred. Eldred, the Pirates' sixth-round pick in 2002, homered in his fifth straight game Sunday, a 9-5 loss to Trenton. "Big Country" is batting .321/.371/.802 with a minor league-leading 11 homers and 23 RBIs in 81 at-bats. http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:74TgI4p...tball&hl=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GamerPyle Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 The only surprise that jumps out at me is Brad Eldred. PECOTA loves him, projecting 20 doubles and 20 homers in only 364 at-bats. With 127 strikeouts for a final line of .256 / .326 / .485. Not too shabby. All the forecasts which fail to work with last-minute playing-time adjustments fail to impress me, overall. Why 364 at-bats? All the systems generate those numbers by comparing the player's profile to that of other players. Or so I gather. Of the 20 guys most like Eldred, that's the rough average of the playing time they received in the year after they put up stats that were so like Eldred. These aren't forecasts so much as they are ways of summarizing what the player's career has been recently. PECOTA says that Eldred has shown enough power. We should focus on that and not on his inability to make contact. Guys like Eldred have hit enough big-league doubles and homers to be useful. Using PECOTA as evidence in a Brad Manifesto, demanding that management release Daryle Ward and give Brad the first 350 at-bats at first base, would be totally naive. Here are some other general thoughts I have about forecasts. First of all, you have to read everything at Tango's link on the right. The difference between all the forecasting systems isn't as great as you'd think. But it can be significant. The Bill James forecast bugs me because there's no explanation of a methodology. They just magically appear. I find Shandler's book appealing and compelling because so much of the methodology is explained. I don't know enough about how the ZiPS forecasst is put together, but it appears to be some kind of juiced-up Marcel the Monkey. The PECOTA system creeps me out because it smacks of eugenics and late-nineteenth-century social Darwinism. I believe it is the only system to put great weight on a player's height and weight. This is why we're always hearing that Khalil Greene is too big for a shortstop. Or is he too slow? Memory fails. There may some advantage to this system. Only time will tell. The 2004 PECOTA forecasts did not impress me terribly much. There were some hits but there were some misses. And worse, there were a lot of fools who wouldn't believe their lying eyes because players were outperforming their PECOTA forecasts. So that besmirched their reputation a little more for me. The BP guys have struggled to balance their snake-oil hyperbolic marketing against its disciple-producing embarrassments. If they want to be taken as scholarly and serious, they will need to be more scholarly and serious as they market their product. All that said, maybe PECOTA will start kicking *** right now.
