MetsDrummer Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 -I suggest changing Reyes' speed to 95 or higher, stealing tendency 99, and give him better defensive attributes. -Pedro's velocity should be 93 MPH, he hit that consistently on opening day. -Make Tom Glavine suck........because he sucks. (bad mood comment) -Cliff Floyd isn't THAT bad against lefties, 49/54 is ridiculous. I would make him in the low 60's in both......same for Mike Cameron.

acosme Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I used GH's formula to get Reyes speed....its a 99 I'm also using GH's formula for the Mets. Floyd had better number against lefties, Reyes speed is up, also Doug M had better power against lefties (he had better SLG% agains lefties than righties). I'm waiting for the Pitchers formula to complete the Mets rosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smart88 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Velocities should be 2-3 MPH below peak velocity. Pedro should be a 90-91. GH I tested that theory by playing a game with variable stuff turned on. I pitched with Sean Burnett who had an 87 speed rating and he threw 88 at max strength. I did the same thing with Edwin Jackson, with a 97 speed rating, and he was throwing 98 at max strength. So, I would say make the speed 1 mph less than in real life.

debauchlord Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 As far as "star-ing" players, I think it should be either the top 15 or maybe the top 20 of all the prospects get 5 star, regardless of what team they play on...so in theory, teams like the twins and oakland will have handfuls of top rated prospects while teams like say, the yankees will have virtually zero. Just like in real life. Sure, it'll **** off yankees fans, who'll defend robinson cano and eric duncan as five star prospects (they aren't) while in reality, just because they are the best your minor leagues can offer does not mean they are five star prospects (personally, cano might be a three, duncan between a two and a three). The wins have people in A ball that are probably better than most of the yankees AAA squad. That disparity should be reflected. Take heart though, Metro fans, knowing that when another squad's prospects become real good (and thus, expensive) you can just sign them with impunity. Just like in real life. My two cents.

basballfanatik9 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 baseballfanatik is there a way you can make a list what you gather for changes? This way we dont have to worry if Hypnoxx has the info. and people dont have to keep posting over and over the same corrections. Maybe you or Hyponxxx can start a new thread and title it Ultimate roster 1.0 corrections and updates. then list what you gather in there. and then people can add changes and updates not on the list yet. i think it will look a lot better with a new thread in the forum. would hate to see version 1.1 come out and not see the change we posted here in the forum. thanks Good idea, I'll do it right now.

HypnoxXx Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 AAA S.O.S. I now have in my possession the current AAA rosters for 27 of 30 teams courtesy of MinorLeagueBaseball.com So now I need to find the other 3... Scranton/WB (Phillies), Indianapolis (Pirates) and Durham (DRays)...Neither the Phillies or Pirates AAA teams have a roster posted or at least mentioned in a news story, and the Durham roster on their website is completely messed up.

bbythepier Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 It didn't take but one day to go against something I posted earlier. I'm such a hypocrite! But I had no choice in order to get a base. I typed this up last night. OK, the top 5 pitchers. One quick side note. I know I preached simulation now may give skewed results, but I did 3 seasons with Kazmir three times (say that fast). Huh? Using Bill Harris' progression mod, I did a simulation for Kazmir with his current stuff and then 2 different ones. To all the ratings modders, here's food for thought. Increasing a pitch's rating by say 5 points seems to have different effects. What do I mean? Well, if you increase a pitchers best pitches, in this case Kazmir's fastball and slider, you do not get the same effect on stats if you increase his worst pitches by a similar amount. The logic is, a pitcher will be less apt to make a mistake when using his "least best" pitches than further dominating with his "best" pitches, probably because the CPU uses a similar mix of pitches regardless of small adjustments to their ratings. I hope that makes sense. Plus, I did not want to give Kazmir, a 21 year-old a 96 rated fastball to get his stats similar to his projected ones. So instead I bumped his worst pitches up to a 71 rating. This gave me 3 good seasons around his projected stats. Thus I'm happy with Kazmir at: Fastball 91, Slider 82, Curve 71, Change 71 So I'll build the 5 off that. 2. Hernandez Fastball 91, Curve 85, Change 75, Slider 69 Hernandez is hard to rate. His fastball and curve are rated 70 on the 20-80 scale and his change is a 60, but look at this quote: "Word is his slider puts his other pitches to shame, but Seattle is keeping it under wraps in the interest of his health." So I think we should give some very good mov't on it but hardly any control. 13. Cain (sinking) Fastball or Sinker 89, Curve 80, change 70 He uses his sinker as his fastball. He doesn't throw both. Miller is more of a two-pitch guy than the previous according to scouting report. So his top 2 pitches will be equal or better while his change will be worse. 17. A. Miller Fastball 91, Slider 83, Changeup 65 19. Billingsley Fastball 87, Slider 80, Curve 75, change 63 I only did tweaks to Cain and Kazmir to bring them up to the ratings above and simulated 3 seasons and was happy w/ the results. If someone has a little time to waste, maybe you could try to do the same for Miller and Billingsley. Note: It's possible that the pitchers with less number of "bad" pitches (Cain, Miller) will outperform the ones with 2 below averages pitches (Hernandez, Kazmir, Billingsley) because the computer is more likely to throw one of the "bad" pitches. (50%:33%). I'm not sure but it might be more confirmation of my theory that a pitcher's performance is based more on their "worst" pitches than their "best". Here's what I used for Kazmir and Cain: Kazmir: Fastball: 0 movement, 77 control, 95 velocity, None =91 C. Change 6, 63, 80, 12-6 =71 Curve: 8, 50, 75, 1-7 =71 Slider: 10, 72, 84, 2-8 =82 Cain: Fastball 9, 72, 95, 12-6 =89 Changeup: 7, 53, 83, 1-7 =70 Curveball: 10, 64, 80, 10-4 =80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plez Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 i'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but for the tigers Kyle Sleeth is in the top 100, not Justin Verlander. i believe that Ryan Snare is the fake name used by EA. SLeeth throws 4 pitches while verlander only 3 (Fb, Curve,Change) hope this helps Plez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbythepier Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 BBY--Got some new homework for ya...I've got four new players I need to make for Fresno, was wondering if you'd like to create them yourself or at least do some research for me...They are: Brian Munhall, Doug Clark, Jack Taschner and Adam Shaballa. Teacher Hyp, I got my homework assignment. Gave me some real winners to work with. How about Taschner’s stat line in AAA last year: 4-7, 9.28 ERA. I know you think I’m lazy, but I suck at making CAPs, not to mention these four “zeros†don’t bring much inspiration to start now. Doug Clark Specs & Pic: http://cbs.sportsline.com/mlb/players/playerpage/174670 Scouting: http://sfgiants.scout.com/2/336033.html OF Doug Clark: (One year old) Entering 2001, Baseball America rated him among the Giants top 30 prospects. Since then his career has stalled in AA-ball. His 2003 season was an improvement over his previous two campaigns as he hit .301/.371/.409 for AA Norwich. Defensively, he is viewed as limited to left field at the major level. At 28-years-old, he seems unlikely to ever reach the major leagues. Brian Munhall Specs: http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/brian_munhall.shtml Pic: http://gozags.collegesports.com/sports/m-b...ll_brian00.html Scouting: Average AAA C Jack Taschner Specs: http://cbs.sportsline.com/mlb/players/playerpage/546046 Pic: None Scouting: “Last week, Taschner was promoted to AAA Fresno, where he had an impressive debut against Sacramento on Thursday. His 88 mph fastball and 78 mph breaking pitch kept Sacramento hitters off-balance through most of the game. The question for Taschner, who is already 25-years-old, is whether he can continue to build upon this half-season of success as he faces more experienced hitters.†Adam Shabala- Specs & pic: http://cbs.sportsline.com/mlb/players/playerpage/292133 Scouting: Average AAA outfielder GForce, I thought you might find these posts, from before LAST season on one of the SF Giants blogs I frequent, refreshing. “After Correia, he is likely the Giants second-most advanced starting pitching prospect. Baseball America does not view Lowry as one of the Giants' top 10 prospects. Prospect guru, John Sickels, however, rates him among the Giants' top 5 prospects. Lowry's fastball is generally 87-91 mph. His curveball is very good, although his changeup may be his best off-speed pitch.†“Oh, and while I'm at it, I'll throw my two cents in about BP's prospect lists. They've never impressed me. I've always appreciated how they would stick up for the less-heralded/good results crowd, like Brian Lawrence, but at times they seem to go against the scouting grain for the sake of going against the scouting grain.†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
