Ah, I remember him. I saw him pitch once, he has good stuff and potential. I think your over-rating him a little though mate.
There have been a lot of good, young new rookie pitchers with a lot of potential coming up the past 2 years (Joba, Hughes, Kershaw, Buckholz, Price, Coke to a certain extent, Linecum, you get the picture).

Maybin was a huge prospect in the Dontrelle Willis and Miguel Cabrera trade and plays in the Marlins minorleagues now. He's supposed to be really good, and he's a Center Fielder.

Kind of like Austin Jackson then? You shouldn't make players who haven't played in the Majors yet as you'll have no idea what type of stats they should have compared to others. Triple A is compleatly differeont from the MLB.

He played in the bigs a bit last year, but he was completely overmatched (I think 20 some strikeouts in like 50 AB)

You can't tell from such a small sample of course. Not everyone is going to tear up the league on their debut.

YOU READ MY MIND! I am making him now!!!!! I have him all mapped out.
Then I may make Joel Guzman then Colby Rasmus.

Well, their are many underratted players in the game. He's a strikeout pitcher, so that's a 4 in the main pitch, he has a "plus" potential circle change, so that's a 2. I only made it E control. and he throws a 90+ fastball. He's a starter and ye's young, so I made it B.

I think I underrated him, learn him better and will think differently.

This is like someone saying Brett Gardner is overrated.

I planned that execpt arm is 10 (it's good) and Fld 8 (he sometimes gets back reads on balls)

He does strike out a ton but that's beacause he needed to adjust to MLB Pitching. Besides I can still tell about defense and power and speed, it's just contact......

Then how do we know Brett Gardner that good?

You know he's good, the question is how good. Same with Kershaw. You know for certain a players speed and generally fielding ability (as it is the same at any level of ball), the real question is contact and power. It is the same with a pitchers top speed, but the question is control and breaking ball ability. You get my point? Also, abilities are almost impossible to sign. While you can assign some (like clutch to Gardner who hit 400, almost 500 in clutch situations and had 2 walk-offs), it is very difficult.
