Trajectory 3
Contact 7 (8 without blues)
Power 142
Speed 11
Arm Strength 13-14
Fielding 7
Error Resistance 7

Firstball Hitter – over .090 points from regular career BA
Good Infield Hitter
Cannon Arm - Dear God...

Throwing 4?

Cannon Arm, Throwing 4, and honestly, after the throws he made last season, you gotta consider a 15 Arm for Yo.

Maybe an 8 for fielding, too. Everything else (not so sure about IF Hitter yet) looks good.

how about 14 Arm Strength with the Throwing 4 and Cannon Arm? and I normally give Good Infield Hitter to players with C (10) or higher in speed

He has good speed, but infield hitter would not be good. He always swings out of his shoes, which makes him slow out of the box.

So 2 opinions for no Good Infield Hitter, I'll remove it then.

Possibly CF as a secondary position, has a decent amount of experience there

He did play there last season, and has 75 games there in his career; I will give it to him

My take:
LF/CF

Trajectory 3
Contact 6 - Pretty bad here, not good enough for 7 or bad enough for 5 though
Power 150-160
Speed 11
Arm Strength 14
Fielding 7
Error Resistance 7

Firstball Hitter
Good Infield Hitter
Cannon Arm
Throwing 4 - Needs Cannon Arm, Throwing 4, and 14 Arm Strength. This dude is unreal.
Slugger?
Pr Small Ball, if possible. Pretty easy to get with Frank
TIMELY WHIFF!!! - Dude K's a ton, slowly becoming one of those two outcome guys like Adam Dunn or Dave Kingman

I'm still saying you gotta consider giving him a 15 arm. If OOTP can give him a 20/20 arm, and 3 points off from a 100 arm, that's pretty damn good.

I didn't give Machado or Simmons a 15 in Arm Strength. I'm more towards a 14 with the 2 abilities

On Contact 6: his splits are almost identically with BA. Against righties he hits .265, and lefties .260 (both career stats) which just touches 8 in contact. And I've followed what we've been doing by lowering contact down a point if the player's BA was in the lower second half of the threshold. Ex: Range for Contact 8 is .260-.274, .260-.267 would be the lower second half

On Power 150-160: His highest power in a season would be at 152, but then I added his career ISO and AB/HR which lowered it to 142

On Good Field Hitter: Aaron said, "He always swings out of his shoes, which makes him slow out of the box" so no for that, but we're getting mixed opinions on this

On Slugger: I don't think it's possible to acquire this

On Poor Small Ball: I'm not one to really give this ability out, that's just me

On Timely Whiff: He actually sits at the league K% average of 20%; so that's a no for me. And his K% actually decreased by 4.1% from 2013 to 2014.
