Create a Prospect

[Jeffy25]

Entering the 2012 season, I want people to 'create a prospect' and I will post how your player is doing as their career progresses.

Here is what you need to tell me


Name:
Nickname: Not necessary, but if you want one
High School or College, and birthday (don't need year, just month and date)
Note - college players will have slightly higher current ratings (10%), but could have less potential (-2%)
Hometown (needs to be a real place):
Uniform Number:
Personality Attribute, pick 1-200 in each of the following, totals equal up to 600 combined:
Leadership:
Desire for Winner:
Loyalty:
Greed:
Work Ethic:
Intelligence:


Height:
Weight:
Bats :R/L/S
Throws: R/L
Position/Role (if you pick a position player, select a primary, and then two secondary positions):


For injury possibilities, I do a dice roll, so pick a number 1-6. If your number is rolled, then you will get 1's all across the board. If you are one off from the number, then you will get 40's across the board, if you are two off from the number, you will get 80's across the board, if you are three off, you will get 120's across the board, if you are four off, you will get 160's across the board, and if you are five off, you will get 200's in every thing. So it's clearly better to pick a number in the middle (unless you are feeling risky) so you minimize the chance of you having a high injury risk.



Do you prefer to be a position player or pitcher?
If you choose a position player, then select from the following:

You may have potential ratings that total combined, up to 555 if you are a high schooler or 540 if a college player, ratings are 1-250 (1 min, 250 max):

BABIP:
Avoid K's:
Gap:
Power:
Eye/Patience:

And you must select current ratings, if in high school, will combine for a total of 200 current attribute points in each of the same selections as above, and 220 if in college:

BABIP:
Avoid K's:
Gap:
Power:
Eye/Patience:

Example would be as follows (high schooler):

Current/potential
BABIP: 50/105
Avoid K's: 30/85
Gap: 50/125
Power: 30/105
Eye/Patience: 40/105


Speed and defense ratings will be set as a fixed rating for each player, 125 ratings at every position you want to be applicable to be able to play, same with speed.


If you select a pitcher:
You get 3 pitches, pick those 3 pitches, one of them MUST be a fastball/sinker/cutter or knuckleball:

Say those three pitches, your choices are:
fastball
sinker
cutter
curveball
slider
changeup
splitter
forkball
circle change
screwball
knucklecurve
knuckleball

Then select a current/potential rating for each pitch that you select, and for movement and control as well:
If you are a high schooler, max potential has to be a combined 700 potential, or, if you are a college pitcher, a combined 685 for a college pitcher, and current ratings for a high schooler are 250 current, and if you are in college, it is 300

So an example would be:

Fastball: 50/160
Curveball: 50/135
Changeup: 50/135
Movement: 50/135
Control: 50/135

The format you should follow is in post number 2 of this thread.

I'll give a monthly update, and posters will get to decide where they go as free agents, and when they retire.

I rolled the dice, and got a '3', so all his injury ratings are right at '40'

You are a 20/63 (all ratings are on the scouting scale of 20-80), should probably be a middle first round pick or so.


I'll wait a few days to get started so more people can post in this thread if they want to have a prospect.

Since you didn't pick any current ratings, I'll just evenly distribute them based on potential, and since you didn't pick a dice, I'll pick for you (4).
And since you didn't give me a birthday, I just gave you the default 11/19 birthday.



I rolled, and got a '5' on the dice btw, so 40s on injury



(Ideally, I'd like to have at least 5 or 6 prospects before starting this)

I'm not sure if you read the description or not.

But those numbers won't equal the player you have created. There is a limit on personality and on skill. And you gave him both pitcher and hitter ratings.

I need you to shore it up with the above descriptions.

I didn't see a dice roll or current ratings, I picked a '3' and rolled a '3' so you will have 1's on your injuries.

And I have set your current ratings to work in conjunction with your potential ratings.

I rolled a '2' on the dice roll, so your injury ratings are all 40's. Thus far, nobody has worse than a '40', so that's pretty awesome.

[Jeffy25]

Would like someone to make a high school pitcher preferably, as well maybe a closer (if anyone wants to, I might make one of each just to have them in the sim if nobody wants to do that).

and I made a small revision to my player, I changed his third position from 3B to CF.

I'll wait until this evening before starting the sim.


So everyone is aware, and for the sake of ease with this. I will just have everyone sign with the team they are drafted with for their signing bonus amount. So we don't have to wait a year for anyone to get drafted again.
