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!

OK, I went to about 5 different scouting reports and all them contradicted each other. These are the stats I think I'll give him:
TRJ: 2
CON: D+/C-
PWR: E+
RUN: D
ARM: C
FLD: E+
E RES: C-

PLEASE give me some input as I really have no idea what to do with this guy.

According to the Minor League Baseball Analyst 2010 (published by Ron Shandler's company, if you know who he is):
on a 1-5 scale:
PWR: 1
BAvg: 4
Spd: 4
Def: 4

"Dynamic SS prospects. Plus range, soft hands, and strong/accurate throwing arm. Makes consistent contact and should hit for contact and moderate power. Plus speed allowed him to swipe 28 bases in '09 and he held his own following a midseason promotion to AA. Cubs SS of the future."

I still wouldn't give him too much power, though, he's only hit 3 homers each of the past two seasons in the minors.

Oh, crap. I got a successful Dr. Goodjob operation, but it bumped my trajectory up to 3. Should I save or exit and reload?

And what sucks is that was my first successful goodjob EVER :evil: :evil: :evil:
Anyway, I have 10 CON 82 PWR 9 RUN10 ARM 9 FLD 10 E RES All I need to do is boost power a little. I'm also debating whether or not to try and get timely whiff. I think Firstball Hitter (which I have) and Timely Whiff might recreate his impatience (kinda).

No. Not at all. That was what I was thinking when I made that post.

Password. Sorry the picture's so big. I had to save it in paint to get the file size low enough and it got blown up.

Nice job, thanks for making a real player. I added a link to the Wiki to this thread. Abilities are kinda high, considering he just debuted in 2010, but I'll use him anyway. Cubbies need all the help they can get. :)

That happened to me when I was making my version of Jeff Samardzija! It was so frustrating having to exit after getting a successful operation.
