I was thinking of ideas for a new success player and I thought of Ken Griffey Jr's son Trey Griffey. This got me going and we can make a team of sons of future hall of famers.

We can have one or two teams, AL and NL (Based on original or team they had the most success with)

I need ideas for other players too.

Stats will be based off of the stats of the parent when they were in their prime.

Good idea or no?

It's a good idea. One question though: would the sons have to actually be in existance?(Koby Clemens, Trey Griffey, Tony Gwynn Jr.) Or could they be non-existant? (Craig biggio Jr, Jeff Bagwell Jr, Lance Berkman Jr, etc.)

Why involve there families. It almost seems creepy to me. Why not do the actualy players in their prime? I mean Ken Griffey Jr. was much better in his prime then he is today. Same with Pudge, Pedro (if he even pitches this year), Glavine, Johnson, Big Hurt (Frank Thomas), Trevor Hoffman (despite his great start), Vladimir Guerro, ect. You have a great team off that already. If you want, even throw Jeter or Ichiro, who while great players, are no longer at the top of their game.

That's missing the whole point.. sorry but I was looking for a fun way to motivate people to pump out success players.

I can't tell if your joking or if your serious? I just think finding players kids names and making players out of them is a little bit of an invasion of privacy. I mean if you were a player, would you want someone doing that about your kids? I mean it's your choice obviously, theres no reason to hold back if you want to because of me. I've never seen you chickenlittle before, maybe you just changed advaters. That's why I'm not sure what the intent is. If your serious and I haven't tralke to you before, then how would you know?
Sorry if I was harsh, but really, there's nothing holding you back at all. You guys all seem to like the idea, so go ahead then. I didn't realize I said anything that bad.

You can, go ahead. I don't think what I said was that bad, I was kind of suprised by the reaction. Can you see where I'm coming from though (on it being a little invasive?). I don't think I was being a jerk or anything by saying what I did before. I don't know what the ruining our fun again was though, when did I before?

What do you mean?
The advater change was because I had the devil for my success team log, Las Vegas, which is long dead now. Hence the advater change.
