The Big O Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 My bad about Stephens and Kester, and I was going off the best Orioles fansite to boot. Anyway here are a few scouting reports: Billy Rowell: Lefthanded hitter with power and patience at the plate. Has dazzled scouts with power display in major-league stadiums. Some scouts compare him to a young Troy Glaus. Hits to all fields and rarely strikes out. Has good speed for his size (6-foot-5, 215 pounds) and is a smart and swift baserunner. Has good range at shortstop and a rifle arm, but seems better suited to third base. Exudes confidence. Pedro Beato: Beato has a hard sinker that sits around 90 mph and touches 96. He also has a sharp 84-85 mph slider and a promising changeup. He has a strong build at 6-foot-5 and 210 pounds, and his biggest need is to improve his mechanics and, by extension, his command. At age 19, he has plenty of time to figure that out Ryan Adams: Adams was drafted as a shortstop, but he profiles as an offensive second basemen. He's also battled with several hamstring injuries. That, coupled with his increased muscle mass, has cost him a bit in terms of speed. He has an advanced approach at the plate and should develop above average power for a middle infielder. The O's will have to keep him close to the trainer's office, but he has loads of potential Scratch Hernandez and add this guy: Zach Britton, LHP SP In the past year, Britton's velocity has shot up from 86-87 to 92-93. And his lanky 6'3'' frame portends to even more gains in velocity, which could make it a consistent plus plus pitch. There are two major concerns here. The first is that his velocity dipped as the summer wore on. Coincidentally, that's probably the biggest reason that Brandon Erbe was available in the 3rd round last year. The second concern is that, right now, the fastball is all he has. His curveball needs loads of work, but there's nothing in his mechanics that will prevent it from developing into an average pitch. He also has little in the ways of a changeup, which will make him vulnerable to righties at higher levels, but that's hardly damning for an 18 year old.

TwentySeven Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Don't know where this fits in but Chien-Ming Wang has one of the best sinkers. You don't even give him a sinker, last I checked. Its a big reason for his success, so many ground-ball outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myztery Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Two quick things. Joe Inglett (CLE) is a utilityman, not infielder. He plays all OF positions as well as all IF positions except catcher and pitcher. Also, Travis Hafner has insane plate discipline. Top notch. Probably 95.

D-Unit Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I think Bobby Abreu deserves a severe boost in plate discipline. EDIT: Same goes for Jason Giambi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myztery Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Also, sorry for the double post, but Vlad's discipline is also a bit high, considering he is notorious for chasing terrible pitches, even though he hits 'em hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HENNLAYSEGG Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I don't know is its permanent or not ,but Giambi has just started using the black elbow guard since he got hit on the elbow the other day.Here is the best pic I could find; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myztery Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 This clip is part of a Scott Kazmir scouting report. "Kazmir has four pitches in his arsenal. Arguably his best pitch is a mid 90's fastball that he throws with relative ease. Kazmir also throws a hard breaking 10-4 slider that comes in the low 80s that works well as a major league pitch as well. His third pitch is a changeup which according to a scouting report published by Baseball America, appears to be a major-league quality pitch as well at times. Kazmir struggles with his changeup at times however, sometimes not being able to make the bottom of the pitch fall out like it is supposed to. His final pitch is a 11-5 curveball that while having good movement, often comes in too fast to be an effective pitch, usually clocking in the high 70s to low 80s and looking too much like his slider."

alcoholicstepfather Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I just want to extend a great big thank you to Totte for all of his hard work on these rosters. He does a great job, not only with keeping up with all of the roster moves, but dealing with all of the jackasses that keep asking when the newest version will be released. When the downloads went down, I tried to keep up with the transactions myself, and it took all of about 2 minutes for me to say screw it. I can't speak for everyone here, but I truly appreciate your efforts in making this game as enjoyable as possible. (That goes for all of the modders that contribute to this site.)

Myztery Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 ^Exactly how I feel. With all of the things that we're able to do with this game, we can keep it alive for years to come. However, the work can be very hard and tedious, so you must have great patience. We're all lucky that Totte is so great at keeping up with things, and that he's continually working hard to keep us happy. Thanks Totte. You're the best.

D-Unit Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 ^^^Ditto what these guys said^^^ These rosters are as accurate as these stupid n0obs that ask for the MVP06 mod are annoying. Yes, I said n0obs. With a n0ob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronuconn Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Well, you know I love the rosters but I will say it one more time. I just wish these ignorant noobs would search before asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernetic Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Jays RP Jason Frasor changed his repertoire which is the reason he got sent down to AAA. He hasn't been able to command his curveball this year so they're working on changing his arsenal. He will now be a fastball-slider-splitter pitcher. Although I wouldn't delete his curveball at this point. The only thing to do is add a splitter. I don't know the velocity/movement on it though since I haven't seen it all and the article about it on bluejays.com doesn't mention anything like that.

There are two open spots in the Orioles organisation. Do you have any specific players you want added? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
