Posting:

* Individual players should be in their own thread, with the full name of the player and position(s) in the title. Don't add superlatives or any other shout outs to it... we will see your guys...
* If you post a team or a set of players, add players by editing your starting post so they're all in the same post. A bump to announce the edit is appropriate.
* Posting images are fine, provided they are small in dimension and data. 800x600 and ~50Kb should be the biggest you can post inline (using the [IMG] tag), anything larger, post a link or a clickable thumbnail instead.
* If you have wiki rights, add your player(s) and team(s) there as well!

I created a pretty spot-on Nick Green after watching him play all season. Not great contact (.239 lifetime average), but a little bit of power, some fielding (but bad E Res), and an arm like a cannon. I'm talking the Cannon Arm ability, and a maxed out arm rating (15). This guy's throws from shortstop and even the outfield were incredible - and what's more, when he came in to pitch, he had no trouble hitting 90.

So, once I obtained the gambling ring, despite him being a position player, I boosted his stamina and top speed up to a realistic level (85-90). Not sure you can even put a position player in to pitch - never tried it - but it you need to, he would be the one to do it with. He also pitched two scoreless, hitles, walkless innings - I think his arm has a future in the bullpen.

In hindsight, I could've made him 2B as primary (he's not a great SS), and made 3B his 3rd position instead of LF, but I didn't remember any 3B starts for hiim this year. I do remember him playing OF, and not badly. Turns out he's played 44 games at 3B, and only a handful in the outfield. So, note to self - check baseball reference FIRST.

I pitched the final inning of the championship game, AND then hit a walk-off single for the win!!!

fielding, speed, and E Res got higher than I wanted - one unexpected GoodJob visit did that. So I dumped my bat and glove and focused entirely on speed - 87 mph top speed should work.

Again, I wish I made him 2B/SS/3B, but oh well - gotta move on.

wow nice job, thats almost exactly how I edited him but your Greens' arm was better

I got the privelence of seeing Nick Green pitch against the White Sox in person, that was the most exciting anyone in Fenway Park was for that whole game because we lost by like 4(it was kind of fun though, we rallied, Drew and A-Gon hit back to back homeruns and Drew hit another one in the 9th inning)

Green was throwing about 80-87, I was very impressed by him
