Adopt a Prospect
I did this a few years ago, and it seemed very popular, so I'm going to redo it.
Here is the old thread http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...-prospect.html Entering the 2014 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 575 if you are a high schooler or 555 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 250 if in college: BABIP: Avoid K's: Gap: Power: Eye/Patience: Example would be as follows (high schooler): Current/potential BABIP: 50/125 Avoid K's: 30/85 Gap: 50/125 Power: 30/105 Eye/Patience: 40/105 You can roll a dice for defense and speed ratings For speed possibilities, I do a dice roll, so pick a number 1-6. If your number is rolled, then you will get 200's all across the board. If you are one off from the number, then you will get 160's across the board, if you are two off from the number, you will get 120's across the board, if you are three off, you will get 80's across the board, if you are four off, you will get 40's across the board, and if you are five off, you will get 0'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 the exact same thing for defense 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 725 potential, or, if you are a college pitcher, a combined 700 for a college pitcher, and current ratings for a high schooler are 275 current, and if you are in college, it is 325 So an example would be: Fastball: 50/160 Curveball: 50/135 Changeup: 50/135 Movement: 75/175 Control: 50/135 I'll give a monthly update, and posters will get to decide where they go as free agents, and when they retire. Below, please follow the following formats I am selecting a shortstop for myself Here is the format I want you to post in your reply to this thread Name: Jeffrey Lage Nickname: N/A High School or College: 11/27 - HS Hometown (needs to be a real place): Cape Girardeau Uniform Number: 1 Personality Attribute, pick 1-200 in each of the following, totals equal up to 600 combined: Leadership: 1 Desire for Winner: 99 Loyalty: 99 Greed: 1 Work Ethic: 200 Intelligence: 200 Height: 6’4 Weight: 225 Bats : S Throws: R Position/Role (if you pick a position player, select a primary, and then two secondary positions): SS/CF/2B Dice Rolls: Speed - 3 Injury - 3 Defense - 4 Current/potential BABIP: 40/115 Avoid K's: 1/30 Gap: 1/50 Power: 100/200 Eye/Patience: 58/180 Last edited by Jeffy25; 04-25-2014 at 11:35 PM. |

I would love to participate, but I need a day or so to think about what I want.
If that's cool, thanks.

So we have five players, that means I'll take 5 more before I begin.
Would like at least two more pitchers if we can. It helps if you sign up, if you believe you will keep up with the thread, because you will have some interactions, such as which free agent offer to accept and some of the player desc. If I can't get a hold of you, then choices are just made for hou |

Entering the 2014 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: Dean Caughlin Nickname: Beer Can High School or College, and birthday (don't need year, just month and date) College 9/16/95 college is BC Note - college players will have slightly higher current ratings (10%), but could have less potential (-2%) Hometown (needs to be a real place): Kingston Jamiaca Uniform Number: 99 Personality Attribute, pick 1-200 in each of the following, totals equal up to 600 combined: Leadership: 200 Desire for Winner:99 Loyalty:100 Greed:1 Work Ethic:100 Intelligence:100 Height: 6'11 Weight: 230 Bats :R/L/S L Throws: R/L L Position/Role (if you pick a position player, select a primary, and then two secondary positions): SP 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.

Looks like I have more than I am needing here.
I am only wanting to carry 10 guys, so I will take the first 10 that posted (assuming I have a good mix of pitchers and hitters). I will go ahead and move forward making the players. |
