See, I understand he should have Walk for having the most BB's in MLB history, but I don't want to go through all the stress and effort into making him and have him end up having 4.00+ ERA's. He has a 3.19 career ERA, so he wasn't the greatest in that area, but still dominant nevertheless. Maybe we could remove Poise 4 to help balance him? I could increase his stamina to 190 and as for Release 2, since I would be dating Lucy (for intimidator) I wouldn't be able to date patty (I think that's how it works). Or unless someone knows a different way to acquire Release 2. If I remember, I will conduct more tests with Walk on an edited version. If he can have an ERA under 2.80 (for a few seasons) then I will be satisfied with giving it to him.

Yeah, as far as I know, there's not another way to get Release 2 other than dating Patty.

Jag, there should be a vote for which team you will make Ryan on.

My tests:

Tests with Walk
Test #1: 105 MPH / 100 CTRL / 180 STM / 5 CB / 3 CHG / Poise 4, FB Life 4, Spin 4, Release 2, Recovery 4, Dr. K, Walk, Intimidator

ERA - 5.03
K/9 - 13.9 (222 K's in 174 IP)

27 Starts (6 man rotation)

Also tested my newly made Mantle. He hit .302 with 47 HR's (led Majors) and 182 RBI's (led majors). Seems like everything worked out well with him.

Test #2: 105 MPH / 100 CTRL / 180 STM / 5 CB / 3 CHG / Poise 4, FB Life 4, Spin 4, Release 2, Recovery 4, Dr. K, Walk, Intimidator

BB/9 - 4.6 (85 BB's)
27 starts

Test #3: 105 MPH / 100 CTRL / 180 STM / 5 CB / 3 CHG / Poise 4, FB Life 4, Spin 4, Release 2, Recovery 4, Dr. K, Walk, Intimidator

ERA - 4.48
K/9 - 11.44 (216 k's in 170 IP
BB/9 - 4.4 (83 BB's)

Tests without Walk
Test #4: 105 MPH / 100 CTRL / 180 STM / 5 CB / 3 CHG / Poise 4, FB Life 4, Spin 4, Release 2, Recovery 4, Dr. K, Intimidator
Record - 18-7
ERA - 3.01
K/9 - 11.0 (233 in 191 IP)
BB/9 - 2.35 (50 BB's)

Test #5: 105 MPH / 90 (lowered by 10) CTRL / 180 STM / 5 CB / 3 CHG / Poise 4, FB Life 4, Spin 4, Release 2, Recovery 4, Dr. K, Intimidator
Record - 19-2
ERA - 3.13
K/9 - 11.7 (243 K's in 187 IP)
BB/9 - 2.9 (61 BB's)

Test #6: 105 MPH / 60 (lowered by 30) CTRL / 180 STM / 5 CB / 3 CHG / Poise 4, FB Life 4, Spin 4, Release 2, Recovery 4, Dr. K, Intimidator
Record - 17-5
ERA - 3.10
K/9 - 12.0 (265 K's in 198 IP)
BB/9 - 2.3 (51 BB's)

Now, even though his walk rates are down by almost half without Walk, his ERA is much more pleasing. Even though his K rates stay the same with Walk, I understand that everything else but his ERA seems normal.

I will do 1 more test by adding Walk and W/RISP 4 to see if I can get his ERA to dramatically drop. He will also have 90 in control.
Record - 15-3
ERA - 3.74
K/9 - 11.3 (214 K's 171 IP)
BB/9 - 3.7 (70 BB's)

Actually, 1 more:
Record - 9-7
ERA - 4.69
K/9 - 11.2 (222 K's 178 IP
BB/9 - 4.45 (88 BB's)

So with all of this, I'm just gonna stick with not using Walk and not using W/RISP 4. But I will try to get his control really low to somewhat help compensate.

Top Speed 105
Control <95
Stamina 200

Curveball 5
Change up 3

Poise 4
Fastball Life 4
Spin 4
Recovery 4
Dr. K
Intimidator
Consistency 4

D you plan on having him on the Rangers, jag? If not, I would just put him on a Texas team to be safe.

Here he is, enjoy!
