dkrause Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 http://krausesports.com/Cubs.xls Here is a spreadsheet of the top 10 Cubs hitters stats of 3 seasons vs the real life three year splits. I think its is interesting stuff. The info backs up my last post with Burnitz, Barrett and co being lower (not hairston to my surprise). Somelike Patterson, Nomar. Could be raised even.

dkrause Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 http://krausesports.com/CubsPitching.xls Here is the pitching one. The guy did a good job on these. A few could be closer but its mainly just some K/Bb ratios off. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kangarooboy78 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 unlike you who think its ok to raise guys having a great two months but not dropping- Why is one ok but not the other? Don Guys like to see their new jump on the band wagon players get props. D. Lee for example is getting big recognition cuz of his hot couple weeks. When I say give props, I'm thinking maybe a 3 pt increase in Righty batting average and power. Not push him into the 90s. People want to use or face a Garland, a Eaton, a Lee and a Perez and see them perform similar to their current real life performances. I dont mind a few point increase or decrease, I just dont want to see a dramatic or drastic one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totte Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Here's what I came up with studying Brewers closer Derrick Turnbow in last nights game vs. LA: He throws his 4-seamer between 96-98 mph. Also, he threw a 2-seamer which isn't in the rosters and it had a slight drop at the end (kind of a combined 2-Seamer/Sinker). I don't recall the speed :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot tell me the majority of players in this file were not changed alot. I really see zero reason to give someone props for 2 months of the season. I might be the minority here but i would to actually see a set that is kinda finished, not with players raising because of two months of work. Then we are all stuck those inflated ratings. Like jeter last year- i would assume you would have had him drop since he was hitting like .210 at this time. Well he ended up like .295. I really don't get why three year splits are so bad to you, but boosting over two months isn't. You still don't really base your posts on anything but feelings. Maybe some research would be nice.

AI03 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Some suggestions: Pedro Martinez: Blue glove and his 4 seam velocity should be upped to 94. Norihiri Nakamura: Should his power be boosted slightly? Should his speed go down as well? "Norihiro Nakamura hit his seventh and eighth homers for Triple-A Las Vegas yesterday. Including the three games before he was originally called up by the Dodgers, Nakamura is hitting .340/.421/.880 for Las Vegas. He's getting playing time at short and first in addition to third, giving him a better chance of making it back to the majors." (Foxsports.com) I believe he should also have wristbands 3 or 6 Jason Repko: Should his speed be upped to a few more points? He Is a CF prospect, and 2 SB this season with 0 CS in 35 games. Thanks, and please let me know if these will be integrated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarlinsFan Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Can anyone check if Yorman Bazardo on the Marlins AA Carolina Mudcats, crashes their game when they select them? Not sure if the Ultimate Roster is the cause. here's the thread I started on the problem... http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?name=Foru...pic&t=11424 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI03 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Also, wanted to know if these players were corrected: Reds AAA: 3b Edwin Encarnacion : "Encarnacion is up to .316/.396/.556 in his first year in Triple-A. He could take over as the Reds' third baseman if Joe Randa is traded in July. The job most likely will be his on Opening day next year." (rotoworld.com) His contact vs. RHP is in the 20's, and I believe it should be moved up into the mid 40's. AJ Zapp : He has some 0's in fielding, throwing, etc. Jared Fernandez: He is throwing a 68mph knuckleball, 78 mph curve, and 82 mph fastball. Is that correct? NYY SP Kevin Brown: He was throwing 95-96 mph 4 seam fastballs vs. Royals this past week. KC Zach Greinke: he was throwing 91 mph last week vs. NYY too...

Totte Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 I've been going through the Red Sox system looking for appearance corrections - here's what I've come up with: MLB Kevin Millar – White shin guard AAA Kelly Shoppach – Dark brown hair, large wristbands on both arms Abe Alvarez – Dark brown hair, no facial hair Mike Lockwood – Dark brown hair Anastacio Martinez – Goatee Dave Berg – Dark brown hair Jack Cressend – Goatee Geroge Lombard – Goatee Jason Kershner – Dark brown hair, goatee (Padres AAA-team) Cla Meredith – No facial hair Denny Tomori – Black hair Chip Ambres - Black hair, hair style shouldn’t be bald Jeff Bailey – Brown hair, hair style shouldn’t be bald Tim Hummel – Blonde hair, hair style shouldn’t be bald Luis Figueroa – Barbiche Justin Sherrod – Brown hair, no facial hair AA Jon Papelbon – Dark blonde hair Mark Malaska – Blonde hair Phil Seibel – Dark blonde hair Kason Gabbard – Dark brown hair Lenny DiNardo – Brown hair, goatee Adam Stern – Dark blonde hair Billy McMillon – Goatee Chris Durbin – Dark brown hair Jim Buckley – Black hair, hair style shouldn’t be bald Justin Sturge – Dark brown hair Kenny Perez – Black hair, soul patch (goatee?)

bbythepier Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 llcmac, HypnoxXx, millennium, abacus, jbmagicfan, Andruw25, etc., It's nice to see you kept your chins up from the early blows. You even went back to the "Ultimate" moniker. Congrats and keep up the good work. I will continue to stay on the 'silent' sidelines and tweak my roster. But I love to use your set for appearance changes and such (like from Totte's post 2 or 3 back). It brings back memories seeing the squabbles over Halladay's knuckle-curve, Tejada's stance, Captain Caveman's facial hair, Derreck Lee's "Triple Crown" ratings, Schmidt's changeup and the like. I wish I had the energy to keep coming to the podium and pulling out my 'evidence' to make my 'case' (like dkrause on Rolen a few posts back), but I've found it's better this way for my heart rate and hairline. I'm just happy to get Capuano's and Wise's change right based on the video against the Dodgers instead of some Brewersfans.com site or some scouting magazine. Keep hittin'em 'High and Deep', sooner or later it'll be 'Out of here". later, Brian by the pier (the jackass that screwed up all your pitchers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkrause Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Probably another case where simming a few seasons would help but to guessamate. i would guess like 85/93 would be a mildly generous contact for a .282/.309 split. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernetic Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I'm still using 2.3 for my dynasty since I started it before 2.35 came out but I'm wondering if anyone else had this problem.. the Brewers signed Brian Boehringer as a free agent and the Jays play them in interleague play around mid-June on the schedule.. anyway when they start to warm him up and the game says they have him getting loose, as soon as they're about to show his stats the game crashes. Since they have him as their closer I can't really stop them from warming him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavicchi Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Todd Helton's 3-year splits: L-.346 R-.345 Source: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/spli...mp;type=batting 2002 vs. L .327 vs R .331 2003 vs L .387 vs. R .344 2004 vs. L .320 vs. R .360 Contact vs. L 87 Contact vs R 96 Looks to me that Helton is way underrated compared to Scott Rolen and Ivan Rodriguez just to name a few. Of course, we could also say Rolen and Rodriguez are overrated. Ivan Rodriguez has Contact vs. L 96 and Contact vs. R 90 3-year splits of .343 vs. L and .305 vs R Anyway you look at it, Rolen's Contact rating is over-inflated. A 97 rating for .309 when Helton has 87 for .346 and Ivan has 90 for .305 verifies something is wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
