Forum rules


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!

Also has Good Pace. Sorry I did not end up getting FB Life 2 but I didn't find time for the Patty arc. Durability 2 would not have been feasible either, I think.

rob had:
Quote:
David Buchanan SP 94/157/140, Cutter 2/2SFB 1/CCHG 2/SCB 1, Recovery 4, FB Life 2, Gd Pace, GB Pitcher, vs LH Hitter 4, Durability 2

Comps to Kendrick
Reliable GB pitcher
Not overpowering
Uses SNK and control on corners to get groundballs
Strong work ethic
Throws SLD/CHG per Wikipedia
FB/CUT/CB/CHG per Fangraphs
Hits 88-90 MPH

Quote:
Buchanan does not throw as hard as he did in college, working at 89-93 now, averaging about 91. This is OK because his command seems better at the lower velocities. He used a slurvy slider when drafted, but swapped that out for a more traditional slower curveball, a changeup, and a cutter which is now his go-to pitch. His secondary pitches are better than they were three years ago and the sinker and cutter help him generate ground balls.

A few scouting reports have remarked that he had slurvey slider prior to being drafted but got rid of it for a slower version. The slider should be a cutter even though fangraphs noted it as a slider

Yeah I agree with rob on that.
94 should be the max Top Speed for him, will help with STAM and CTRL.
I'd recommend lowering his STAM by 5-10 points to help get better CTRL.

How does having lower stamina increase your control? Is control relative to your stamine? Eg. 160. control on a starter is less than 160 control on a reliever?

Noticed that I can't see the pics, phillies, you mind re-uploading him?

EDIT: Just noticed that most of the images for passwords of players you uploaded with tinypic are gone. Maybe you can put them as attachments?

I believe I can take pics of them with puush and reupload those versions.

Lmk if there's any specific players this happens for and I'll check on them.
