Finishing what Tengen started...

[Clambutt]

what is the speed cap?  do i re-rated EDavis or just use his NL ratings from RBI?

[Gantry]

Otis Nixon was a sub on the Indians and I gave him 148, same as Coleman.  He had an ABSURD 23 steals in 110 plate appearances in 1986, almost warrants at 150. 

I'd say use the RBI ratings already given...

[Clambutt]

Kal Daniels had a monster year in '87.  .334  26HR, 26SB in 108 games...

[Turd]

For speed cap, I'd say there isn't one. Use the original as a guide.

For all-star ratings, I'd say use the ones they gave for consistency's sake

[Gantry]

Jesus, that's worthy of 900+ power AND 140 speed

[Clambutt]

Jesus, that's worthy of 900+ power AND 140 speed

I went 890 & 138

[Gantry]

I say go higher for the power - his SLG was 20 points higher than anyone in the NL that year, though he didn't qualify based on ABs.  Plenty of 900+ power guys of the orignial 10, I think those stats are worth it. 

I gave Joe Carter 909 and 138 for his .302/29HRs/29 steals in 1986

For all-star ratings, I'd say use the ones they gave for consistency's sake

I'd assume this only applies if it's an '87 team.

[Turd]

Good point, Beef...I am not sure how I feel about this...

Same guy on the ROM twice with different stats from different years
A guy on the 86 team with his 87 stats because the all-star team has him rated already (or vice versa)

Great job by the Cubs when they got his washed up ass.   

[Turd]

Man, I'm torn about this...Tengen gave Molitor 744 for power, even though he hit .353 that year...if Gantry is correct that 768 is a good generic mediocre power rating, that's awfully low for Molitor in my opinion.

What do you guys think, in these situations, do we ignore the ratings from the all-star teams and rate as we think they should be rated?

[Clambutt]

yes or no...imo

[Turd]

Thanks for clearing that up Clam! Which one is it?

[Clambutt]

Molitor should prolly have better power than Pettis; so...

[Gantry]

I have no qualms with saying screw you to the stats from the AS teams....

[Turd]

awesome, after seeing a good example, I'm of the same philosophy, Gantry.

[TβG]

i'm using 1987 for the dodgers. 
question:  bob welch had a superior year to fernando, and since fernando is already in the game as an all-star, i should favor welch on the dodgers roster, right?

[Gantry]

Sounds right

[TβG]

how are we rating player's running speed?

[Gantry]

I'm just loosely basing it off stolen bases, CS, triples and plate appearances.  Nothing scientific at all...
