Post subject:  2016 Intimidators
So, reading Jag's guide,
he made a suggestion I agree with
(paraphrase) Intimidator should only be given to the best 2-3 hitters, and best 2-3 pitchers in baseball.

I have two questions
1. How many Intimidators should any given version of MLBPP have?

2. Who should they be for the 2016 update we are working on?

1. I think that 3-5 hitters, and 3-5 pitchers should get Intimidator.

2. Trout, Stanton, Harper, Goldschmidt, Mig Cabrera.
Kershaw, Greinke, Felix Hernandez, Price, Bumgarner(come at me)

well it also depends on their name value.
but you forgot people like chapman and kimbrel

in MLB PP 2008, I think there are 6 hitters and 6 pitchers (off the top of my head)
teixeira, Pujols, A-rod, Andruw jones, david ortiz, Manny Ramirez (maybe?)
randy johnson, josh beckett, pedro martinez, mariano rivera, billy wagner, and k-rod

EDIT: going back to name value, Jimmy Rollins won the NL MVP in 2007, but he doesn't have intimidator. So it's more or less if the player can crush the ball

If I had to choose (5 each):

Hitters: Giancarlo Stanton, Jose Bautista, Miguel Cabrera, Bryce Harper, David Ortiz. (As a Mets fan, I'd be scared of Freddie Freeman.)

Pitchers: Aroldis Chapman, Craig Kimbrel, Madison Bumgarner, Jake Arrieta, Clayton Kershaw/Zack Greinke. (One day, Familia will be up on this list.)

What I see for pitchers
High Velocity, and his best friends
Hitters
Giancarlo Stanton only

I actually stand corrected. For hitters, I forgot to mention:
konerko, derrek lee, adam dunn, vlad guerrero and delgado

Realistically, it'd be great if they could make the game such that any hitter in the top 5 of HRs for, like, 3 years in a row automatically got it, and once you fall out of the top 5 for 2 years, you lose it.

What is the benefit of "intimidator" for a starting pitcher? I only see a difference with relievers in safe situations.

Let me tell you a story of Randy Johnson.

He was so tall and scary I was too afraid too hit the ball.

THE END
Also in my life I got intimidator after hitting only 150 homeruns. The game is dumb.
