Yeah, I ended up picking 3-quarters 6.

But he began with a CHG already! Sadly his fastball is only 77, that will have to be worked on alot.

It said somewhere he can throw a Sinker.... Can try to help me validate that? I am 85% sure he doesn't throw one.

The SLD is his secondary pitch, he throws mostly Fastballs.... Should I make the Sld a 2 or 3?

It might actually be true.

look at this:
http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?pl ... #pitchtype
XX is unidentified, and here's the glossary for pitches:
Pitch Type Information:

FB - fastball
SL - slider
CT - cutter
CB - curveball
CH - changeup
SF - split-fingered
KN - knuckleball
XX - unidentified
PO - pitch out

This will also help with choosing the break.
You're welcome.

He used to throw Cutter, but he never threw Splitter or Knuckle. XX could be sinker.... But maybe it's a pitch that no one else throws, like his own variation of a Sinker.... Maybe I could put in an ORig Snk.....

Ok, no sinker for Balfour. I had him already finished before AAA!!! I just need the FB a couple more up. So I started dating Lucy for no reason...

Darnit! I lost the last game with Gil but made it to Majors, thinking If I don't get the 98MPH I'll do it again, but Lucy GAVE ME INTIMADATOR! NOW I can only get a 97MPH and I can't decide whether or not to keep him. I also got Dr.K but neither intimadator or Dr.K go with Balfour.....

I know it's only 1MPH so I may keep it, but like I said, Dr.K and intimadator have nothing to do with Balfour

Hey Dr, Mario, pretty cool that you are doing this.

Balfour throws almost all fastballs, usually topping around 95-97.

Check out this page, with a forum that may help you get some of these questions answered:

http://www.draysbay.com/2008/9/3/606867 ... -good-at-r

I will try to get the answers to some of these questions tomorrow.

Thanks again!!!

So why did you date Lucy if you didn't want the abilities she gives?
