Bio
Bob is a 19 year old baseball prospect who gained fame in his hometown of Xiamen, China, for being able to throw 90 mph at the age of 11. When he was 15 his family immigrated to Allentown, Pennsylvania, where he discovered the sport of baseball and his skills at it. He played baseball throughout high school and college at MIT, where he graduated magna cum laude with a double major in environmental engineering and philosophy, as well as being the best player on the baseball team, at the age of 19. He was then faced with a tough choice of pursuing his promising academic career or choosing his floundering love for baseball. Then, he heard about an environmental engineering job offer from a firm in Portland, Oregon, the Greenest City in America, as well as a new baseball team based in the area as well. Seizing the opportunity, he packed his suitcases, shaved his mustache-goatee (whatever it's called), put on his thin-rimmed glasses, picked up his trademark blue glove and yellow wristbands, and set off on a new journey, one that would define his career and his life.

Scouting Report
Bob is a good prospect with tremendous natural gifts. As a pitcher, he can throw over 100 mph, and has a great selection of breaking pitches due to his tendency to use different throwing methods and experiment with his release (ahem, gyroball). However, his accuracy and control is very poor, and he gives up plenty of walks. He is very inconsistent and has plenty of things to work on until he can become a polished, dominating pitcher.
As a hitter, he has power potential, however, he seems to strike out a lot, especially in clutch situations. He has below average speed. He has a tough time judging fly balls (probably due to wearing glasses) and makes a lot of errors in the field.
His best assets, in addition to his arm strength, is his intelligence and passion for the game. Even though he has only been playing for about 4 years, he knows the strategy and techniques of pitching, hitting, and fielding.
He does sometimes have mental lapses while playing, and seems to be unsure whether baseball is really what he wants to do in his life. He almost always shows up late for pre-game activities, due to his job at the company.
Overall, he is a typical "raw" prospect, whose ultimate success in baseball will be determined by how much he can improve and polish himself.

Sorry guy i cant update tonight, i am currently on the cape for 3 days without internet access in my house. i can use my phone and i can go outside in my backyard for intetnet access tomorrow to update.

i am still cureently waiting for one more response hopefully i can update tomorrow!

Which positions are available again? I'd love to be a part of this...

We could use a pitcher probably

OK then:

Name: Clarence Fair
B/T: L/L
Position: SP
Best Skill: Electric Stuff, gets plenty of strikeouts
Bio: A short, yet buff lefty, around 5'9', 185 lb from Corona, California. He was adopted by a man named Russell Smith and his wife after his biological parents gave him up. Fair went to Centennial High School, a football-dominant school, and promptly made its baseball program a force to be reckoned with as well. A skinny freshman at first, Centennial coach Tim Kieveno got his fastball up to 80 mph as a sophomore, 85 as a junior, and then to 90 as a senior. He came into Centennial with his twin brother, Gregory Fair, a 2-sport athlete. He was one of the best second basemen in Centennial history, but left it to pursue his other love, which was basketball. Fair graduated Centennial by the skin of his teeth, juggling school, sports, and of course, girls. He was drafted out of high school by the Angels, who cut him after he was caught doing drugs with another draftee, Victor Hession. Fair hopes to regain his baseball career after a coach by the name of HitAndRun found him practicing with his brother. Fair is one of the few African-American baseball players, with short curly black hair, and a soul patch. He has his red glove and bat he got from the Angels. After he went back to his house, he told his dad what had happened, packed his stuff up, and hitched a ride with his soon-to-be coach.

Hey guys, i cant update tonight my aunt just got engaged and we are going out to a fancy resturant by the beach. i have some of the update already written on a word doc. it will be up by tomorrow night

I am still waiting for one more peron's decison

aww man i was getting ready for the next update!!! who has to reply yet?

Just do something like this:

Tobias simply stood there and watched the pitch go past him, as he was unable to decide on his approach.

Alright here we go:

It was about 4:30, the tryouts were over, the players had gone home, and the coaches met in the empty weight room.
"Sorry, Mr. Grey the meeting room is being refurbished right now," called Mr Pilfery from down the hall when Grey asked him where the coaches could meet.

"So, Bill any important items of business you want to share with the staff about our fielders?"
"Yeah sure coach, alright guys we got a couple o' nuggets in the rough, if you know what I mean." said Grant
"Diamonds, you meant Bill." corrected Ted.
"Uh yeah, anyway, well this SS Keaton O'Brian, he.." said Grant as he wrote the name down.
"Bill you spelt his name wrong it's a 'y' not an 'i'." corrected Grey.
"Okay, Coach, I'll change it, while whether or not I can spell his name doesn't matter right now, he's got the stuff coach, but his not confident, he is unsure he can make the play and even if he does he nit-picks the tiny details. Which is good and all when you get to a certain level, but he isn't there yet." explained Coach grant.
"As I remember correctly I had him on the hand-eye test correct? how did he finish?"asked Grey
"Above average coach, but his body language is timid, I can't have that in a SS, the hear of the D needs to have heart in him self, coach." answered Grant.
"Alright, I make a mental note about his passion, it will be tested if he wants to stay on this team."

Keaton O'Bryan
Error Resistance-↑ (For stat-ups and skills I will acknowledge them when you receive them)
Passive Fielding-↑
Gd Morale-↓
Coach Eval-2/10 (you need 6 points to make the team 10 to start, you will all make the team, the points depend on your skill and morale.)

"Next Bill." said Jim
"Yeah we worked with him today, coach, umm... what's his name uh Simpson, Frank Simpson."
"Oh yeah, double play boy." said Ted.
"Oh so Coach told you Ted." said Bill
"Yeah Bill it's not everyday you get to see Grey field again." said Ted
"It wasn't so spectacular I almost threw out a hip running to the bag."
"SO thats why you were limping the rest of day."
The 4 coaches laugh.
"Want me to check on it Coach?" said Trainer Pete Savard.
"No way Pete."
"Anyway back to Simpson, you guys should of seen the kid's eyes when Coach beat me to the bag."
"Bill what about his full report?"
"Sure coach, kid's got good range like his counter part, Keaton, I had them work together today, he also has quick hands able to get the ball out of his glove quick, he needs to work on liner's and his footwork on turning two. Again like O'Bryan he's timid and unsure, their like twins them two. Other than that he has a good passion for learning the game which is good for a young player."
"Very well Coach."

Frank Simpson
Gd Morale-↑
Pivot Man-↑
Coach Eval-3/10

"The outfielder coach Valentine how was the rest of his day?" asked Grey
"Not bad, not bad at all, but you know he's a really nice guy."
"What do you mean Bill?" asked Ted.
"Well, Coach saw it, he 'hummed' a ball from deep right all the way home getting a guy out from second, he was all smiles after it, but the catcher wasn't. The poor kid got cleated in the throat on the close play at the plate. We got him stitched up and back on the field thanks to Pete, but Valentine didn't want to throw home again. Real sympathetic that kid you know?"
"Oh a softy, baseball isn't for softies." said Ted
"Weren't you complaining earlier that I was going to hard on the hitters?"
"That's different."
"Hardly, anyway Bill full report please?"
"Well he's got a cannon in right, enough speed for center, and enough heart to be a donor for 40 patients."
The other 3 coaches shook their head.

Thomas Valentine "T-Val"
Gold Glover-↑
Cannon Arm-↑
Gd Morale-↑
Coach Eval-4/10

Hitter's next.
Hopefully you like.

Lol poor Tobias,waiting in the dugout...

Haha, "And enough heart to be a donor for 40 patients". Since I got the most eval, I do like

Hitter's turn:

"So Ted it's your turn, let's see who is better my pitchers or your hitters." said Jim
"I'll be sure to remember that maybe after the tryouts we will have a little game."
"Sure Ted, on with your reports I better write your info down." Said Jim
"Well you know this guy Allen, Buddy George."
"Mr. 102 in I recall." said Grey
"Mr. 102?" asked Grant
"Yeah the other players gave him this nickname when he hit a bloop single, with a crisp swing."
"It's getting late Ted, full report, please.'
"It's only 4:30 Coach you got a hot date tonight?" mocked Grant
"Yeah with some tea and some ice for my hip."
"Anyway George has the makings of a great lead-off hitter, a real spark plug, and a nice fluid swing and well a nice personality, and he seems to be playing for his life, but is really comfortable in the position he is in."
"No faults eh?" said Jim
"I'll let your star staff dissect him, further."
"Ted, tell the truth?" said Grey
"He's a bit slow on the recognition of breaking balls, he's a first pitch swinger mind you." said Ted

Coach Eval-3/10

"Ted, what about the Zulu kid?" said Grey
"Zulu Stingers?" asked Jim.
"Yeah this kid was obsessed with them growing up you should of seen how he hung on to every word Grey said." said Ted
"What did he do?"
"Grey, I like this guy as a number 2 hitter, great table setter, he was hitting to all fields today, I heard he was a PAC-10 all american on our home town ducks, he's old a senior. He has got solid contact, but hardly any power. I think he will listen to anything you say he idolizes you Allen."
"Looks like we got a solid one two in our line-up."

Zeke Woods
Spray Hitter-↑
Table Setter-↑
Gd eye-↑


"I heard you got a couple of big hitters down there in the batting cage, huh Ted."
"Yep, you should of seen them Jim, your pitchers would have been shaking in their cleats."
"I missed the end of the HR derby what happen?" asked Grey
"Well Joesph ended up winning 9 to 8, I think it was, he got a hold of one of them and barely made the fence, I gave him the point because he actually hit the final ball, and Tobias got weak-kneed up there and backed down."
"He backed down?" asked Grey
"Yep, couldn't handle the heat."
"How did the rest of their day go, Ted."
"Eh, Jorgenson did relatively, well he looks a bit lazy, but he knows how to hit, good patience, power, and eye. Well Tobias on the other handle didn't show up past the home run derby, from what I saw though he has a bit more contact, but less power than Jorgenson."
