kgbaseball Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I imported UR 5.2 into my game yesterday, but there was a big problem. Everyone from the AL and NL All Star teams were available in the Free Agents. Any idea why? At first I thought it was because they weren;t hidden, but even after making them hidden, they still show up. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROLJamas Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Hey kraw, just wondering what was up with the old UR 5.1 file, if that file had been fixed yet for ps2 users. Not sure what the situation was on that, or if you we're goona convert your 5.2 file, but yeah, any word here would be appreciated. Thanks for all the hard work, man -- looks like you do a whole hell of a lot around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totte Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I imported UR 5.2 into my game yesterday, but there was a big problem. Everyone from the AL and NL All Star teams were available in the Free Agents. Any idea why? At first I thought it was because they weren;t hidden, but even after making them hidden, they still show up. Any ideas? That's weird...I tried out the rosters myself before uploading them and I didn't experience that problem. The only way I know would 'cause such an issue is if you have imported a new team from a .met-file to replace the All Star-team. Chosing replace would mean that the players are automatically transfered to the Free Agent list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herky Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Some brief scouting reports for the requested Tiger prospects. Kevin Whelan Position: Relief Pitcher Height: 6-0 Weight: 200 Born: 1/8/1984 Bats: Right Throws: Right Background Whelan came to the Tigers as a 4th round draft choice in the 2005 amateur draft, out of Texas A&M University. He joined the Aggies as a catcher in 2003, but never really got it going behind the plate. After some struggles during his freshman, and early in his sophomore campaign, Whelan gave pitching a try because of his very strong arm. Kevin had some growing pains during his first season as a pitcher, but worked hard and improved his craft dramatically heading into his third season. After a sparkling display in the 2004 Cape Cod League, Whelan rejoined the Aggies, posting a 2.90 ERA and striking out nearly twelve batters per nine innings. After signing with the Tigers for $265,000, Kevin went on an absolute tear, dominating both New York-Penn league and Midwest League hitters. Kevin’s totals during his brief professional debut included a net 1.48 ERA, 15+ K/9, 5:1 K:BB, and 15 saves in 25 appearances. Scouting Report Any discussions of Kevin’s baseball ability should begin, and nearly end with one thing; his big-time arm. On the mound, he sits comfortably in the 92-94 range, touching 96 regularly in game situations. Despite being able to touch 96, it doesn’t always benefit him in terms of making quality pitches. When he over-throws, he not only loses some control, but also loses some of his potentially devastating movement. When throwing free and loose, Kevin’s ball has a bit of late explosion that rides in on right-handers, inducing a lot of soft liners and weak groundballs. Offsetting his fastball, Whelan relies on two variations of a split-finger pitch. Both pitches have out potential, but lack consistency in both control and late bite. He’ll need to develop at least one of these offerings to maintain his success at higher levels. Kevin is not a great athlete, and frequently struggles to repeat his mechanics. This problem could easily go away as he gains more experience on the mound, but until he does, he’ll be at an elevated risk for injury. Due to his inexperience, he often struggles with some of the nuances of pitching. Things like setting up hitters, using his pitches wisely, fielding his position, and being in proper backup position still escape him, but he should improve them all with more innings on the hill. Overall, Whelan has the arm and talent to become an elite late inning reliever, but he still has some significant maturating to do. Health Record With so few innings under his belt, Whelan’s arm is still fresh and has been free of injury. He’ll need to begin repeating his mechanics better to avoid future injury, but for now, his bill of health is clean. The Future After dominating in the late innings for both Oneonta and West Michigan during his professional debut, Whelan will head to Lakeland to start the 2006 season. With an outstanding spring, there is a chance the Tigers could push him to AA-Erie, but that chance is slim. Kevin has electric stuff and one of the highest ceilings in the entire system, but he’s also got some of the most work to do. If Kevin can prove that his gains during his pro debut were for real and not just a product of facing inexperienced hitters, then he could fly through the system and see Detroit for good sometime in the 2007 season. The Tigers love his raw ability, and will push him quickly if his performance warrants it. He has a great chance to be the first player from the Tigers 2005 draft class to reach the Majors, possibly late in 2006 as a September call-up. Jordan Tata Position: Right-Handed Pitcher Height: 6-6 Weight: 220 Born: 9/20/1981Bats: Right Throws: Right Background After a solid career with Sam Houston State, the Detroit Tigers took Tata in the 16th round. As an experienced college pitcher, Jordan started his professional career with Low-A Oneonta, where he posted some very inspiring numbers, including a 2.58 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 73 innings. Early in the 2004 season, Tata struggled with his control, velocity, and with the overall transition to full-season ball. Tata’s first half is the exact reason the season is so long. The second half saw a breakthrough performance from the second-year pitcher. Through the last two months of the season, Jordan backboned the West Michigan rotation that dominated the Midwest League and brought the championship to Grand Rapids. With a promotion to Lakeland, Tata figured to be challenged to great lengths in 2006. However, he is the one that did the challenging, dominating FSL hitters. Jordan finished the year with a 13-2 record, 2.79 ERA, and over a 3:1 K:BB ratio, and capped it by being named TigsTown.com’s Lakeland Tigers Pitcher of the Year. Scouting Report Tata’s bread and butter is his 91-93 mph sinking fastball that can be dominating when he’s controlling it well to all parts of the zone. Jordan has dramatically improved his control over this pitch during the last two years, and he now has confidence to throw it to all parts of the strike zone. His second best offering is his cutter that can reach 94, but sits in the 90-92 range. His cutter has good movement and explodes as it reaches the plate. His only change of pace offering is a weak curveball that must improve significantly to maintain its effectiveness. Jordan has a big, strong body that helps him profile as a durable, innings eater as he moves up the ladder. He is an average athlete who fields his position well, and has very good composure during all situations on the mound. With only two above average offerings (fastball and cutter) Tata may end up in a Major League bullpen, but with improved consistency and bit on his breaking ball, he could remain in the starting rotation. Health Record Jordan has had no major injuries in his career. The Future A big test awaits Jordan now that he’ll be facing experienced AA hitters in 2006. Tata will pitch this season at age 24, and must be effective to retain his status as a top-notch prospect. The Tigers will give him every opportunity to stay in the rotation, but should he struggle, don’t be surprised if he’s moved to the bullpen in an attempt to make use of him at the Major League level. He could be a dominating reliever and possibly gain velocity with a move to the bullpen. After an exceptional season for Lakeland last year, Tata is poised for success at Erie this coming season. Advanced hitters and much tighter ballpark dimensions will pose a big test for Jordan, but don’t be surprised to see him post some solid numbers as he tries to anchor the Erie staff. TT: What pitches do you throw? Are you developing any new pitches? JT: No new pitches. I throw a 4-seam, 2-seam fastball. The 4-seamer I cut a little in on the lefties. I also throw a circle change, and I throw a spike curve ball; like Mike Mussina……it’s not as good as his right now, but one day. Cameron Maybin Position: Outfield Height: 6-3 Weight: 200 Born: 4/4/1987Bats: Right Throws: Right Background The Tigers top pick in the 2005 First-Year Player Draft, Maybin is one of those rare high school talents that people talk about for years. Coming out of TC Roberson High School, Maybin holds more school records than you can actually list here. He holds the South Carolina state record for career batting average, ending his career hitting over .600. Despite a commitment to play baseball at the University of South Carolina, there was almost no doubt he would turn pro. In the days leading up to the draft, Maybin’s stock was falling due to unfounded concerns over his signability. Rumors were circulating that Maybin’s asking price was far higher than post-draft indications are showing. Widely considered one of the top three talents in the entire draft, the Tigers appear to have gotten a steal with this selection. Maybin signed too late to play in any of their minor leagues this season, but did report (and impressed) in instructional league. Scouting Report The term “5-tool talent†is often tossed around far too much, but when used in reference to Cameron Maybin, it should be taken seriously. Maybin possesses speed, power, defensive prowess, a strong arm, and the ability to hit for average. Scouts believe Maybin has the speed and instincts to man centerfield at the Major League level, even in the vast expanses of “Comerica National Park.†Even as Maybin adds additional muscle and weight, he should be able to maintain most of his top notch speed, allowing him to remain a centerfielder. At the plate, Cameron commands the zone reasonably well for a young player and shows the raw skills to become a patient hitter who works counts in his favor. His long, wiry frame has incredible, raw power potential that could develop quickly given his advanced physical state. Maybin may struggle at first with seeing professional caliber breaking pitches day in and day out, but if he can adjust to his increased competition, he has the chance to move quickly. While comparisons are always hard to make, and often even harder to believe, Maybin is considered to have the overall ceiling of Vlad Guerrero. Health Record Maybin has not experienced any major injuries to this point in his young career. The Future The organization was extremely impressed by Maybin during the instructional league season. He displayed maturity well beyond his years, and worked hard to fit in with his new teammates. The Tigers know Cameron is a special talent, and they are likely to be aggressive with him, pushing him to West Michigan for his first taste of pro ball. The Midwest League should prove a nice challenge for Maybin, but if he hits well, don’t be at all surprised if he gets a shot at Lakeland late in the summer. Cameron will be pushed aggressively if his play warrants it, and don’t be surprised if he surfaces at Comerica Park for a sneak preview sometime in the 2007 season. Chris Robinson – Catcher This University of Illinois product is the organizational hope as the successor to Ivan Rodriguez. Drafted in the third round of this year’s draft, Robinson has a relatively advanced approach at the plate, and should hit for average and get on base at a decent clip quickly. There is some potential for future power to develop, but Robinson will never be considered a true power threat. Overall, Robinson is a solid offensive prospect, with outstanding defensive tools. Jeff Larish Position: First Baseman Height: 6-2 Weight: 200 Born: 10/11/1982 Bats: Left Throws: Right Background Larish arrived at Arizona State in 2002 and exploded onto the scene as a freshman with a .328/.447/.477 line. Larish continued his onslaught against the ASU record books throughout his career, becoming only the second player in school history to log 70 walks and 70 RBI in the same season in 2003. After battling a minor hand injury during his junior season, Larish was taken by the Los Angeles Dodgers, but turned down a reported $660,000 signing bonus to return for his senior season. After a solid final campaign that saw him end his career with 47 homeruns, 229 RBI, and a .333/.460/.585 line, the Tigers selected Larish in the 5th round and signed him for $220,000. Larish joined the GCL Tigers and later the Oneonta Tigers posting a combined line of .280/.404/.549 during his pro debut. Scouting Report Larish’s strongest offensive tool is his exceptional strike zone judgment and ability to recognize pitches. He is a patient hitter who is focused on finding his pitch and driving it when it arrives. Larish has great strength in his wrists and snaps the bat through the zone with exceptional force, generating loads of power to all fields. He has a unique stance that sometimes precludes him from getting around on inside fastballs, but he’s shown the ability to adjust without revamping his mechanics. Larish can hit pitches in all quadrants of the strike zone with power, and is willing to drive tough pitches to all parts of the park in order to be a complete hitter. Larish is an average athlete with moderate speed, but good instincts around the bag at first. He was a third baseman during his freshman season at ASU, and an outfielder during his junior campaign. He has a very strong and accurate arm that, and his experience could help facilitate a move to another position if necessary. Larish may struggle to hit for big time power as he moves up, but if he can keep his swing short and continue to get his hips opened up, he shouldn’t have too much trouble. Health Record Larish’s minor hand injury during his junior season has not been a lingering concern. Aside from that injury nearly three years ago, Larish has been the model of health. The Future The Tigers’ system lacks any first base prospects of note, and the Larish should be pushed aggressively. He is likely to start the season with High-A Lakeland, but could force the issue and get a shot at AA. He is an advanced, experienced player who the Tigers should be able to promote in short order and get to the Major League quickly. If he moves rapidly through the system, the Tigers will have the option of having him split time Chris Shelton at first base and DH, or they could use his versatile defensive experience to their advantage and move him to the outfield to get him at-bats. There are very high hopes that Larish will quickly establish himself as an elite hitting prospect, and the expectation is that this establishment will begin with Lakeland in 2006.
