Forum rules


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!

Pretty sure he hasn't been made yet, so here's what I have.

CF/LF (Natural CF pushed to LF by The Cutch, played CF all through the minors and this year when he took a fastball to the ribs)
Trj. 2
Con. 10 (If Chris Johnson has 10 contact, he should to as they have nearly identical career averages)
Pwr. 120-130 (12 and 13 HRs in consecutive years, and projected for 15 next year)
Spd. 14 (fangraphs has a cool advanced stat called spd that takes everything a player does and converts it into a single number to sum up a players speed. 4 is average, Mike Trout is a 7 ad Starling Marte is an 8!)
Arm. 8 (Rated as 0 runs above average)
Fld. 10-11 (Solid above average DRS scores)
E Res. 6-7 (Only a .960 fielding percentage as an OF)

Base Running 4 (consistently 5 runs above average baserunner)
Timely Whiff (over 20% K rate)

No version exists that I am aware of! Yay more Wii players. I think we have an old Tabata somewhere, so we might have a whole success PIT OF, lol.

My only recommendation would be to lower speed one point. If 15 is the max, giving 14 to Marte seems a bit much. According to that same SPD state form fangraphs, Marte was 27th in MLB in that category last season, well behind guys like Eric Young and Dee Gordon (some of those were part-timers, but still). He also led the league in CS in 2013...he has a 72% lifetime success rate (83 for 114) too. So if you give him baserunning 4, then first avoid stealing 4 like the plague, and second I'd put his speed in the 12-13 category. Alcides Escobar was a 12 for me, and his lifetime steal success % is much higher, steal totals a bit lower. 13 is the upper limit for me.

I know, I'm conservative, I just get scared about racking up steals. In my My Life mode I can rack up like 200 SBs a season. Once you get to 14-15 speed, you can outrun any run down...it's like Mario with invincibility, haha

He was actually 5th in 2014, and 3rd over the past 3 seasons combined, so I do think 14 speed would be about right, but with Stealing 2 if possible

yep its right here: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=6901&p=122955&hilit=starling+marte#p122955

13 speed! haha. But its over 2 years old, so Rob has his contact at 7. Aggressive Steal seems like a good ability tho.
