OOTP 15 Adopt a Prospect 2.0

[captaincoop17]

Stealing this idea from "Jeffy25" who ran the original "Adopt a Prospect" thread a few months back.

Starting with the 2014 season, I want 10 people to "Create a prospect" and I will post about the players as their careers progress.

To create your prospect, I'm going to need this information;

Basic Info
Player Name:
Nickname (Not necessary, but if you want it):
Coming out of High School or College:
Birthdate (Month and Day):
Hometown (City, State):
Uniform Number:
Height:
Weight:
Bats (R/L):
Throws (R/L):
Position/Role (Position players pick a primary position, then two secondary positions):

Attributes
Pick 1-200 for each, total may not exceed 600
Leadership:
Desire for Winner:
Loyalty:
Greed:
Work Ethic:
Intelligence:

Injuries
For injuries, I'll roll a dice to determine how injury prone a player is. Pick a number from 1-6. If your number is rolled, you'll have 1's across the board. If you're 1 off from the number rolled, you'll get 40's across the board. If you're 2 off from the number rolled, you'll get 80's across the board. If you're 3 off from the number rolled, you'll get 120's across the board. If you're 4 off from the number rolled, you'll get 160's across the board. If you're 5 off from the number rolled, you'll get 200's across the board. As a piece of advise, I'd recommend picking a number in the middle to minimize your injury risk.

Position Player Ratings
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

Speed and Defense
For speed, I'll roll a dice to determine how fast a player is. Pick a number from 1-6. If your number is rolled, you'll have 200's across the board. If you're 1 off from the number rolled, you'll get 160's across the board. If you're 2 off from the number rolled, you'll get 20's across the board. If you're 3 off from the number rolled, you'll get 80's across the board. If you're 4 off from the number rolled, you'll get 40's across the board. If you're 5 off from the number rolled, you'll get 0's across the board. As a piece of advise, I'd recommend picking a number in the middle to make sure your player has decent speed.

For defense, I'll do the exact same thing.

Pitcher Ratings
For pitchers, you get 3 pitches. One of those three pitches MUST be a fastball/sinker/cutter or knuckleball.

Pick from the following;

fastball
sinker
cutter
curveball
slider
changeup
splitter
forkball
circle change
screwball
knucklecurve
knuckleball

You'll then need to select current and potentials ratings for each pitch, 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

An example would be (College Pitcher):

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.

Please use the following format when posting your player

Too many other attributes and I don't have time to pick through them. You decide. He's going to be a guy who I envision is a Frank Thomas/Bo Jackson type of football player turned baseball player with good speed, solid power. The beauty here is, I'll create his son in my dynasty.

Love it, can't wait to see how these careers go.

Just a quick note, can you change my hometown and highschool to Lemont, IL...if not, not worries.

Awesome. Squid is from Fanwood, NJ. If the game doesn't have that, use Scotch Plains, NJ.
