25 player slots, it's up to Agent what positions that everyone will make. I'm gonna set the rule that you have to go with a 5-man rotation though.

Yo alright so we got:

AgentP (me)
detroittigers15
PP27
Paul McCartney15
Kungfupandacam
aar0nat0r
Zumikaku
scott0530

Any preferences? I'm thinking everyone can make 3-5 players, preferably at least 1 hitter and 1 pitcher each, just to keep things fair. Does anyone have any idea on whether they'd rather do more hitters, more pitchers, any types of players you prefer (SP/RP, power/finesse pitcher, offense/defense, INF/OF, whatever you may prefer) or should I just randomise everything?

I'm thinking as far as overall team build we shoot for a pretty balanced team, with some specialised bench players for late-game subs and hopefully a pretty deep pitching staff, but I'm open to suggestions

For me, I was always better at making pitchers, mostly low control, power pitchers, with B Stamina. I can make some relievers with better pitchers. Not nasty, but good enough to get to at least a five.
However hitters are now very easy for me to make since I found a new way to do them. Only problem is usually power, but that's about it. Fielding and run spd is easier now for me with contact.
So really, I can make anything, but 180+ power anymore(which is somewhat easy to get to a high 180).
I wouldn't suggest I make a power hitter, but mostly high contact, fast, good infielders with a C like power.

Power hitters are my best, but I can make pretty much anything in terms of hitters. Pitchers I'm not great at.

I wouldn't say I really have a specialty, I can generally make pretty good players of any type (at least that's what I'd like to think) so I'm a bit more versatile.

As a rule, we do have to have at least one player from each user in the starting lineup, so that certainly will help keep things fair.

KFPC, if you could maybe work on a SS or 3B with good defense (like B arm, C fielding, C e res at a minimum) and at least decent hitting (2/D/E/D maybe?) that'd be cool. Maybe a reliever after that, I'd dig having some power arms out of the bullpen

Aar0n, if you could get me a slugging 1B, that'd be great. I'd like to have everyone do a hitter and a pitcher at least but no worries if you don't want to

When I get back I'll try to start working on something, maybe a catcher or a pitcher?

@ The rest of y'all who haven't responded: Please do so asap so I can start divvying up assignments

About to start a L/L 1B, aiming for 4CACDDD, not sure what abilities yet.

cool cool, works for me

Is there a rule about 2nd positions?

Yeah that sounds good.
I'm going for gyroball and an Original pitch from stiitch.
Because we S/L if failure then it will probably end up at Galaxysharks game.
SS will be a Jeter like player. 3CBCCCC and some fielding abilities.

i'm still trying to figure out how to play with the dolphin emulator and all that but when i do i'll be down to make a starting pitcher and then a hitter doesn't matter what position

Justin Carlisle 1B/LF 4CACDDD

Sorry for DP, but here's a guy I already have made that might be a decent player for the team:

http://www.mlbppworld.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=8455&hilit=+Castellano

nice what abilities though.
anyway looking at it,
it will take some luck trying to get both gyroball and original pitch from stiitch's arc, but should be easy enough as long as the whole mashing the a button event. I may use my keyboard for that. So if I'm not going to really go for a high stamina that should be achievable with a semi-good original pitch and maybe 97-100 Top Speed. My specialty is 97 with some exp left. And the 110 breaking ball pts you get from lucy should get my original pitch up.
Also might just give him a V-SLD because it's nasty.

I'll make whatever you guys want me to make. My "specialty" is pitchers without VS LH Batter 4, but since this is about making the best players and not the most realistic that isn't really relevant.
