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!

Ahh, Casey.

Here's what I am aiming for:

Ctrl: E/F
Stam: high C?
top speed: 92mph
two curves, one flat (1), and one better DCB (2/3)
slider (1)
change (1)
sinker (1)

red abilities like fat pitch, durability 2 possibly?

video of Casey talking about slider/sinker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itygu3WNOCI
wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casey_Fossum

thoughts/additions? I don't see a PS2 version to compare to.

Here are a few of my thoughts based on what I've read, keeping in mind I've never actually seen him pitch:

Durability 2 should be good.
He could have the pickoff ability.
Maybe 93 mph top speed, the range said 88-92, but how often do any of the pitchers in this game actually hit their top speed? (I have guys with 105 top speed that fail to hit triple digits sometimes)
Changeup level 1 should be good.

I gave him good pickoff and durability 2.

I had Choke Artist but lost it. I tried to Fat Pitch - again! - but couldn't get it. Arrgh.

I heard he had a big eephus pitch a few years ago, maybe I would have made that 3 DCB a bit better.

Yeah, I thought about it. Had enough points to make it DCB 4, but...there's a reason he hasn't been in the majors.

He actually has 3 curveballs (per the Wikipedia page), so I emulated the first two. the last one is that eephus (Fossum Flip), but since in this game you can only have 2 curves, there wasn't much I could do. Oh well.
