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!

well, that's an odd coincidence. Yo mama, Yo-Yo Ma! :D

And I suggest that J. Irving becomes the starting Catcher, ZackAttack plays third base, my guy (I don't want to reveal his name yet) plays first base, and Yomama can DH, with Alexander the backup catcher/defensive replacement.

He's on the wiki, both as the new 1B for the HI Islanders and has his own page.

Good News!

The SJax Pix page is up for the team!

Also, we REALLY need to be working on the individual player pages. Especially the SP. Because...

I stand corrected. The Wings actually LOST IN OT a week ago against our rivals, the Komets (Yes, I spelled it correct). DARN IT!

umm... Apple, we need to know the Batting Hand/Throwing Hand of your players. Currently the B/T column is filled with ??.

So... team summary (so far):

The Hawaii Islanders are an extremely strong team with a dominating starting lineup. You know you have a good team when ZackAttack is relegated to DH. Bay is the best player on the team; yet, all of the fielders seem to be the stars. Most of the fielders are also excellent fielders; most of them have even won Gold Glove awards. It is a great defensive team. The Islanders have an above-average player at every position except catcher. They also currently have some bench problems, but that should be solved soon enough.
The Hawaii Islanders' biggest weakness is the starting rotation. Apple4960 is an excellent ace with unbelievable stamina, but aside of him, the starting pitchers are a bit weak in fastball speed and stamina. The starting pitchers mostly focus on control and letting hitters get themselves out; however, with fastball speeds below 90 mph, it will be a challenge in and of itself. Thankfully, the Islanders' starting pitchers have an excellent defense behind them, so opposing hitters will still have trouble getting hits and scoring runs.
In contrast, the Islanders' relief pitchers are phenomenal, although they will need a few more pitchers to complete the bullpen. When guys like David Wrong and Luigi Iqus are limited to setup or middle relief roles, you've got a pretty decent bullpen. Terminator, Wrong, and Iqus have overpowering fastballs and also tricky off-speed pitches; both Terminator and Wrong even have a knuckleball. In addition, Wrong and Iqus have very high stamina in comparison to average relief pitchers; they could go 2, 3, 4 innings without getting tired. This is a great relief to the starting pitchers; and isn't that just what relief pitchers are for?
In conclusion, the Hawaii Islanders have a few holes here and there, with the biggest weakness being the starting rotation. Despite that, however, they are still an overpowering team, and they will BLOW YOUR BRAINS OUT!!! HAHA!! :D

And also, I think (as before) that we need to add a good "co-ace" with very high top speed and at least A stamina, even if it means F control. He'll need good breaking balls too. We can then relegate Falcon to Swingman.

After I finish up my first baseman, I'll work on a reliever. I'm a relief pitcher specialist. :D Actually, I already have 3 relievers all planned out.

Should we add World Wide Web? If so, which one? Dishnetkid's or Me_and_Lucy's? I think we could add both, with M.a.L's being in the major league bullpen, and Dishnetkid's in AAA. We'll need to credit that if we do so.

I have 2 pitchers with A stamina (one is 190) with 4 lvl 7 pitches and alot of abilities. Other is lefty with lvl 7 ORG slider and lvl 5 breaking balls.

You want to be part of the team, too, don't you? :mrgreen: I say, fine with me. It depends on the top speed of your guy.

On the pitching issue, are you looking for maxed out players (99+mph, lelv 4+ pitches, all kinds of abailities, etc) or relatively realistic players?

I'm creating a player per day, about, and posting them to the Wiki; I have 2 starting pitchers up there now, 93 and 96mph, but my guys are similar to the in-game pitchers - some good pitches, some weaknesses. You're free to use them if they help.

probably something in-between. For instance, my players have many abilities and good stats; however, they do have some weaknesses here and there. So if you could make a guy with 105 top speed, 200 stamina, and good (4-6) breaking balls, that would be great!
