bbythepier Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 SORRY HYP, didn't hit refresh. There is no other infielder with any spring training stats, so I'll look another 5 minutes. Hyp, You know how to pickem', seeing as Round Rock was their AA last year and Orleans was AAA. Anyways here you go. Royce Huffman-1B/C Stats: http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/royce_huffman.shtml Taken from: http://kffl.com/player/11086/MLB Astros | More on Huffman Catcher Switch - from www.KFFL.com Sun, 20 Feb 2005 16:40:01 -0800 Updating a previous item, Alyson Footer, of Astros.MLB.com, reports the experiment to move Houston Astros 1B/C Royce Huffman from first base to catcher is intended to bolster the team's bench. Huffman has a big bat, and could help fill a utility role as a third catcher. According to MAN Phil Garner, if Huffman decides he doesn't want to make the switch after a couple of weeks trying it, it wouldn't be held against him or affect his place in the pecking order. Stats during spring training: .235, 3 RBIs, no Xtra base hits (not exactly tearing it up) from: http://houston.astros.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/h...ining_stats.jsp BTW, my ex-teammate N. Lowry has 1 run allowed in last 18 inn. How 'bout the next "board meeting" you put a little word in for my boy's 80-rated changeup that STATS calls "one of the best in the league". That 6-0, 3.90 ERA was during a pennant race. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HypnoxXx Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Ok...Rosters are again upto date for now, with 4 new CAPs. We'll have to see what the next 4 days bring as far as transactions... Bby, you tryin' to tell me Lowry's change still isn't good in our roster? I have him at 7 (60) movement, 85 control, 75 velocity with a 12-6 trajectory. It should be a top 15 or so change now.

bbythepier Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Do you really think they'll keep Bruntlett - SS on the MLB team? The last 2 years he started in AAA and was called up as guys got injured (i.e., Everett). He would be their 7th infielder, while only 4 in AAA?

bbythepier Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Hyp, No worries on Lowry's change. I don't know how the game determines a pitch's overall rating, but in the game it's only rated 80. A piece of s**t like Schoeneweis has an 85 rated change. It must be the movement #. I'll relax. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbmagicfan Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 when roster comes out on opening day approx. how often do you guys plan to do updates for the roster during the season? any chance to release a beta roster around Wednesday, so the public can check out the roster and find any errors you guys might miss before the opening day release plan for friday? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldensuitcase Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 - Armando Rios (Twins), is now a free agent, turning down the assignment to the minors. - Nationals acquiired Carlos Torres from the Red Sox to complete a previous deal. "Torres, who turns 21 next month, hit .257/.368/.466 in the Gulf Coast League last season, leading the circuit with eight homers in 42 games". He will likely start the season in A-ball. - Pirates optioned Mike Johnston to AAA Indianapolis - Colorado optioned Jeff Baker to AA Tulsa and also reassigned Greg Norton, Eddy Garabito and Andy Tracy to minor league camp. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phanatic Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Does this roster include the Phillies minor leaguers? Because, if you want, I have created them (AAA, AA, A). I still need to tweek some things. I have included their top 50 prospects and others. Also, where can I download this roster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldensuitcase Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Are you guys really planning on releasing this on Friday? I didnt realize you guys were that far with everything. I dont want to rush you guys though so take your time to do what you want to do. I think people here can deal with waiting for a great roster set. Anything I can do for you guys, just let me know.

Goldensuitcase Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 - Scott Erickson of the Los Angeles Dodgers will be their 5th starter - Craig Monroe of the Detroit Tigers will be the starting center fielder - The Oakland Athletics sent Dan Johnson to AAA - Orioles has reassigned Sal Fasano to their minor league camp. - Ben Grieve is not likely to make the Pirates roster - Denny Bautista has officially won a rotation spot with the Royals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerPyle Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Seattle Mariners Ryan Franklin is in the Pen , The fifth starter is Aaron Sele. Joel Pinero will miss the first 2 weeks the 5 man rotation looks like this. 1.Jamie Moyer 2. Gil Meche (Pitching this spot till Joel gets back) 3. Bobby Madritsch 4.Aaron Sele So I dont know if you want to put Joel in the fifth spot or not. Also Travis Blakley will miss the entire season might want to move him to A ball. Felix Hernandez is in AAA. Julio Mateo is the Long Reliever along with Franklin. JJ Putz and Jeff Nelson in the setup role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HypnoxXx Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 The release on Friday would be ML, AAA and FA only. AA and A will still have many fakes. llcmac, Snash and GH are working hard on AA and A, but you'll have to ask them for an approx. release on those. As far as further updated releases once our completed roster is finally released, I don't know. Pehaps bi-weekly or monthly sounds like a good bet, but that is by no means a promise/official statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llcmac Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 Due to the fact that there are no good sites for minor league rosters and that rosters havent been set, AA and A wont be ready on opening day. We are working on them and at some point should have no fake players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabroni Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Weight wise, he has slimmed down. Of course, professional boxers slim down from training, too. Ponson's offseason - 8 days in Aruban jail for punching an Aruban Judge. DUI on 1/21/05 that the club doesn't find out about until last week. Oh yeah, and he punched a guy 'in self defense'. Get it together, fat ***. We still need you to be the workhorse. He won't get it together. It's obvious that the only season Ponson cared was in 2003 when he was working for that fat contract. It paid off for him and now he can go back to sucking at Baltimore's expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbythepier Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 - Scott Erickson of the Los Angeles Dodgers will be their 5th starter That's the best news a Giant fan has got all spring. 2. Gil Meche (Pitching this spot till Joel gets back) "Hey Gamer (olyrunner or any other M's fan), Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Meche throw a knuckle curve? I got my teeth kicked in w/ Halladay, so I'll let it come from you guys, if he does. BTW, Jay fans like MikeB, I ran into this the other day. "The Blue Jays initially took away the knuckle-curve that (former Blue Jays scout) Bus Campbell taught him in high school, but in the middle of (the 1998) season allowed him to start throwing it again.

Nomarhits400 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I am NOT at all trying to sap the fun from a great game. I am NOT offering suggestions. JUST A COMMENT. Whatever formula you set up to determine hitting is fairly concrete. You either hit Home Runs or you don’t, you either get base hits or you don’t. Pitchers effectiveness is easily checked through simulation to match the numbers. But some of the major league ratings leave a little to be desired. If you think Slammin’ Sammy has similar fielding prowess and range as say Trot Nixon, I’ve got a big golden bridge in my hometown to sell ya. He might be the worst right fielder this side of that steroid author. Poor Aramis Ramirez’s fielding and range ratings are based on 2003 when he committed 33 errors and not last year when he lost some weight and only committed 10. Mike Piazza has one of the longest swings in baseball. If down and in is one of his hot zones and high and away is one of his cold zones than I’m Stevie Wonder. If Marquis Grissom, a “dead fastball†hitter, has a 0 and 1 miss rating on breaking balls against righties than I’m a monkey’s uncle. If I made a “tweak†suggestion on every inaccuracy or “outlierâ€, as GForce calls them, my post count would be up in Snash’s neighborhood and HypnoxXx would have droned me out a month ago, if he hasn’t already. I love the game as much as the rest of you, but it’s obvious that EA didn’t put as much into the consulting budget as say perennial powerhouse Madden. Sure TO can catch a pass and break a tackle, but on a running play he couldn’t block my grandma, and Madden’s team wouldn’t and doesn’t make that “egregious†error. In some cases MVP’s does. Nothing another $20-30K and Peter Gammons couldn’t fix. [i'm allowed one of these type of posts every 10 or so, as long as I keep giving to Hyp's & llc's drinking fu..., I mean donation fund] Amen...I agree 100%- the default ratings for the major Leaguers are a joke- I have no idea where they got some of these ratings- especially "take" and "miss"...Ignoring the major leaguer's would be a big mistake, I think- they need TONS of work in many cases. I believe GForce ended up doing just that last year....Easy for me to say- but true nonetheless. I'd just hate to see the portion of the roster's we play the most- the MLBers- neglected alltogether. I'm not sayng you guys are doing that- but some seem to be implying that the default rosters are ok- and I think that's way off base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the pitch he used for five of his eight strikeouts in the one-hitter against Detroit." taken from verbatum: http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/features/03_awards.html Yeah Gil Meche throws a Knuckle Curve in fact he throws a real good one for 2 years now, Dueled with Roger Clemens and beat him thats his out pitch, Believe it or not Gil Meche has four 4 strikeout pitches, rating 70 or better on the scouting scale. His delivery is exactly the same as David Wells picture perfect. heres the report on Meche: The 6-3, 200-pound Meche is a power pitcher with command of his four-seam fastball, sinker, curveball, slider and changeup. His four-seamer touches 95 mph, his sinker 94 and his slider 86. Sometimes he labors when throwing his four-seamer. He throws a good diving changeup in the 84- to 85-mph range that moves away from lefthanded hitters. He features two types of curveballs: a 12-to-6, or overhand, curve, and a knuckle curve. His 12-6 has good late bite and tilt, but his knuckle curve has sharper bite. He challenges lefthanded hitters inside with a plus sinking fastball and goes at righthanders with a four-seamer that rides in hard on the fists. A heavy sinker is his pitch of choice; that and his changeup are his out pitches. He is deceptive, and he mixes his pitches well. He will set hitters up in a pattern: curveball away; fastball away; sinker inside. Hitters think he is predictable pitching inside, but he is not.

I wasn't sure how Total Minors was constructed last year even though they were my main rosters. Do I trust you guys and GForce as well as the formulas...absolutely. They truly take the subjectivity out of ratings adjustments. The more you look at EA's rosters, the more problems you can identify. Chipper Jones having more power as a right hander? Everyone knows it's the opposite, so tweak away! I was mainly trying to understand the approach since these are clearly the rosters I'm using. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
