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!

Just lining up the next guy. McDonald debuted in 2008, and has racked up 512 innings, enough for 21st on my list and the biggest innings total for a 2008 debut pitcher remaining. He's a fringey guy so I will make him as such.

Zerogibson had this:

Top Speed: going with 95, maybe 96...he averages 92.3.
Control: 85-110 (BB/9 4.1 wow)
Stam: 120-138 (5.5 innings per start in his full season starting)
CB 2-4 (best pitch)
2SFB 1
CHG 2
SLD 1 (started in 2012)

Specials:
Recovery 4 sure
Vs Lefty 4 isnt a biggy, he actually limits lefties better than righties which is nuts
Walk is likely with that high BB/9
He'll avoid Fat Pitch, but another red or two might be possible.

Ideas/thoughts?

McDonald's control is horrible and getting worse. His top speed was 93.8 mph two years ago, but he's hit 97.5 in the past (2009).

I would go with:

Top Speed - 96 mph
Control - high F/low E
Stamina - mid B

Curveball 3/4
Changeup 3/4
2-Seam Fastball 1
Slider 1

VS LH Batter 4 is actually ok for him given that he's got career splits favoring him against LHB
Recovery 4 (always)
Walk if you can get it
I don't see any reason to go for w/RISP 4 or Poise 2, the splits are too small

There's a great ozuna that is really Greg miller...but he is a lefty

That's the only 1984 dob on the dodgers aaa pitchers that I see?

He actually never made the bugs tho, so if I edited him into a righty it could work...
