2005 ROM ratings thread

[TempoGL]

i am essentially basing pitching stats (esp for the padres) off of players in RBI of similiar ability.  for the white sox, my pitching stats were more scentific - i know that Buehrle has a good curveball.

i think the all star teams should be done RBI-style...i'm still disappointed to see that we will probably end up with all star teams though.

[Shooty]

I'd be in favor of changing Johnson to a side armer

I like this idea alot.  Hell it looks like he throws from the side of his body anyway.  Good way to increase his RBI-appeal without bastardizing the ratings.

Also, should we start a different thread to debate who would be on the all star teams?

[Stock]

Your best man is gonna go nuts.  If I had no clue any of this shit was possible and someone handed me an updated version of RBI I'd damn near lose my mind I'd be so excited.

And Attabozzle is right. That's an even better idea.

Here are the pitchers I have for the ROM I am putting together.  I am trying to make sure I have all the sidearmers.  I know Meyers (Boston) is a side armer, but not sure if  I missed anyone else.  Can one of you stat heads let me know if there are any sidearmers here:

You are using Milwaukee instead of SD?

Yes.  I was born and raised in Wisconsin and any custom ROM I make will have the Brewers.  It was a pretty easy decision as to what playoff team would get the boot.

[ultimate7]

Sorry I deleted my post shortly after I posted when I went back and saw what you had posted before about making the ROM.

[Attezzobal]

It'd be a little bit of overkill, but Bradford on Boston is also a sidearmer.

Ummm...I doubt we'll need to worry about that.

My bad, that was post was directed at Stock's question about getting all the sidearmers in the game.

I tried to be honest with these guys, and frankly they just come out sucking. Not one individual stat of any player on the Braves (other than AJones) is impressive. The problem with the Braves is that clutch hitting, good fundamentals, and team chemistry can't factor into their RBI version... For the record, I also factored strikeouts into the contact rating.

Pitching is going to be an even more difficult task but I'll try to get to that soon. I was thinking of giving Smoltz/Hudson a lot of stamina since of any team's one-two punch, they probably have the highest average IP/game in the majors, but I don't see how I could make it much higher than what's already been made for the other teams...

I'm so looking forward to playing this ROM when it's done.

Why would Francouer's contact be that low?  He struck out once every 4.4 AB's while Andruw was every 5.2 AB's

And for this year at least, shouldn't Andruw also have the highest Power rating?

[BeeJay]

Johnny Estrada should be much, much faster.

[Big Hath]

Johnny Estrada should be much, much faster slower.

My bad, that was post was directed at Stock's question about getting all the sidearmers in the game.

I wasn't trying to GET all the sidearmers in the game.  I was just wondering if anyone in my list of pitchers was a sidearmer besides Meyers?

[BeefMaster]

Usually, contact is made to represent average, rather than ability to actually make contact.  Contact rating in RBI affects how much power is lost from a less-than-optimal hit - it doesn't actually affect a hitter's ability to make contact (that is entirely dependent on the player).

Which Rincon is that? Ricardo or Juan?

This is Juan from MN.  He had 24 holds this year along with a 2.47 ERA in 74 apearances.

For the Cardinals, I would include Al Reyes instead of Julian Tavarez.

I wouldn't know where to start to make a realistic roster for the Redbirds, but these are the players I'd include.

Eckstn
Walker
Pujols
Sandrs
Edmnds
Gdzlnk
Nunez
Molina

Rolen
Mabry
Tguchi
JRdrgz

Crpntr
Mulder
Reyes
Isrhsn

[JoeDirt]

Great work, Strass.  I'm not sure that Ramon Hernandez and Mark Sweeney should be the two with the highest power ratings, but it's a good start.

Rolen has to be in the starting line up...per RBI rules--he's still in there despite his injuries.

[TempoGL]

per RBI rules?  mind you, i am drunk right now...but what players that were inured and didn't apepar in the posteason made it into the starting lineups in RBI?  are any even on the roster?  it doesn't make sense to me.  i mean, Frank THomas has better stats than any bench guy on the White Sox besides Everett, but since he was only around for like a month, it just didn't feel right to include him, especially since he hasn't played since liek july.
