Anyone else had this problem?

I'm gonna have to look into this later this afternoon.

Totte,

I'm using "BigShmooz-Kccitystar Models.big". I'm not sure what "models.big" does, but that's the only mod I'm using, that might have an effect. The other mods are for new stadiums, 2007 theme, 2007 loading screens, 2007 overlay, new ball and bases.

Thanks for looking into this.

I have a question re: cyberfaces and UR, and I apologize if this is the wrong place for it, but here goes. What cyberface packs do most people use with this roster? I saw that Totte put a pack earlier in the the thread, and Cami's prospect pack looks good, but is there one big catch-all face pack out there that I'm missing (or would that be the one Totte posted)? Also, and I know this sounds n00bish of me, but how do I even install them? I d/l'd one pack and it didn't have any instructions.

Thanks in advance guys, and sorry again if this is the wrong place for them.

Download Big Shmooz's models.big Lite from the download section and you're all good to go :wtg:

Thanks for your help--do you know if Big Shmooz's models.big Lite is compatible with Kccitystar's Total MLB 1.30?

Also, re: Lamb, his range is probably more of an issue than his hands--from what I've seen, he can handle what he gets to, but as an Astros fan on the East Coast, I don't get to see a ton of games. He's not going to kill you at 3B but he's no Pedro Feliz. As a 1B, his biggest flaw is that he plays there sporadically--if he had time there every day, he'd probably be above-average to average, fielding wise.

Thanks for the info on Lamb.

Yeah you can use KC's work with Shmooz's Lite version. I'm running with that combo myself.

Hiroki Kuroda, RHP - Hiroshima Toyo Carp

Ht/Wt: 6-0/200

Age: 33

2007: 26GS, 7 CG, 12-8, 3.56 ERA, 179 2/3 IP, .261 BAA, 20 HR, 123 K, 42 BB

Stuff -

Fastball:

Kuroda sits 90-92 with a four-seam fastball that shows good leverage, although only a fair amount of sink. He will touch 93-94 at times and with good arm side tail that is very effective against right-handed batters.

He has solid command of the fastball and is not afraid to elevate the pitch to change planes to give the hitter something else to look at, which is ideal since the 33-year-old does not throw a curve ball.

He surrendered 20 homers in his 179 2/3 innings, which is a solid number considering the size of the ballparks, but would benefit greatly from Safeco Field’s spacious alleys.

Slider:

Kuroda uses a true slider in the way that fellow Japanese hurler Daisuke Matsuzaka does, with good depth and varying velocities. Kuroda will typically rush his slider to the plate in the 84-86 mph range, but will need to keep the pitch down more consistently in the states.

At times he’ll fall in love with his slider a little bit, which is consistent with other Japanese pitchers.

Splitter:

Kuroda’s fork-split is his best pitch and the one in which he will record the majority of his strikeouts. He’s capable of throwing it for strikes, but it’s much more effective as a change-of-pace offering that falls off the table into the dirt.

He will induce some swings and misses with it as it travels to the plate in the 82-86 mph range.

The Scoop:

Kuroda is the class of the three free agents and will get the most interest but he profiles as a No. 3 at best, depending mostly on how well he adapts to the patient approach of the hitters in MLB.

He’s slow to the plate but has a relatively compact and clean delivery that gives his fastball some late life. Needs to improve holding runners (this will be something all four scouting reports will read, as it’s generally not a strong area for Japanese pitchers).

Considering the domestic market, Kuroda, even at 33 years old, could command a contract in the $9-11 million range, for at least three years.

“He could blow, like most of the starters that have come from Japan,†said a scout that saw the three free agents this past summer. “But he is the one the group of starters that stands out.â€

Seattle’s interest level is believed to be very high.

Speaking of Japanese pitchers, you may want to keep an eye out for news on Hideo Nomo, since he's currently attempting a MLB comeback--he'll probably get a minor-league deal with some team, but even if he doesn't you can always stick him in the FA section.

RP Luis Vizcaino's contract with COL should be finalized today as he's taking his physical. It's worth 2Y/$7M.

SD has signed OF Jeff DaVanon and C/1B Robert Fick to minor league contracts.

PHI has reached a preliminary agreement with OF Geoff Jenkins on a 2Y/$13M contract.

PHI has dropped out of the running for SP Kyle Lohse, leaving the NYM as the clear favorite.

NYY has dropped out of the running for SP Mark Prior. TEX and HOU are the front-runners at this point.

NYY are also still in the hunt of SP Johan Santana but trade talks have died down and they are again trying to extend him for a discounted rate.
