Posting:

* Individual players should be in their own thread, with the full name of the player and position(s) in the title. Don't add superlatives or any other shout outs to it... we will see your guys...
* If you post a team or a set of players, add players by editing your starting post so they're all in the same post. A bump to announce the edit is appropriate.
* Posting images are fine, provided they are small in dimension and data. 800x600 and ~50Kb should be the biggest you can post inline (using the [IMG] tag), anything larger, post a link or a clickable thumbnail instead.

Road Runner is by far the fastest and slickest player on my future team. A real all-star, he is maxed in speed and has A contact. While he is only an average-to above average fielder, his batting ability, despite his lack of power (f), can more then pull his weight. He has B- arm strength, D+ fielding, and D- error resistance. He has quite a nice mix of abilities too with Stealing 4, Base Running 4, Contact Hitter, Hot hitter, Tough Out, and Tough runner. He hits particularly well anywhere on the right 2/3ds of the strike zone with the exception of the top middle (which is not red or blue). Road Runner had light orange glasses and is fairly popular. Road Runner was my second player in success mode but I was rather dissatisfied with his B- Speed and bad fielding so I brought him into MLB life. He unfortunately became way better then I originally planned so he is a little over-powered. If his power was E or D, he'd be by far the best hitter in the game due to his great clutch-hitting and contact.

Well, he seemed excited about it being paper clipped, and I wasn't sure if he knew what it meant. If he did, well then I misunderstood the meaning of his sentence.

It's fine, just a mistake.

By the way Cownip, sounds like he's an amazing lead off hitter.

Haha, its fine, I don't feel to smart right now though. Thanks, all though I wish he wasn't that good because now I need to tone down the rest of my players. I lost all of them including this guy (He was in my-life thank god so I got his code) due to a damn corruption problem in which I clicked yes because I was in a hurry and didn't pay attention. I had a practically maxed power hitter there with 240 Power, A maxed contact, most of the abilities (not intimidator :cry:) but f run-speed (intentional). I also reloaded till everything was g fielding so you never use him as a fielder.

Still, it was at the bottom of the page. Post them on the wiki then instead and they'll be much more accessible.

Road Runner has become a much better player and I'm thinking about re-uploading him. He now has 68/9 power (40 before), Maxed Contact, (it was 14 before), Maxed Speed (same), 3 Trajectory (used to be 1/2), B+ Arm Strength(13, it was 12/11/10 before), B Fielding (C before) C+ Error Resistance (D/e before)?. He also has quite a few more abilities like push hitter, spray hitter, Good 2B hitter (or whatever it is that makes you hit well after the previous runner got a hit) and a few more I don't remember. He's actually more then halfway to Power Hitter even though last year (his third) he broke his season record with 14 (previously 8 haha). This year, his power is good enough (and will be at least 80 since I have maxed culture and a huge arsenal of training eqipment) he could probably hit a little over 20. I'm thinking of waiting for a year or two untill I have E Power, A Arm Strength, A Fielding or B+ fielding, and B/B+ Error Resistance. He makes 24 million a year in his fourth year so I can probably manage this. I'm going to save and reload next year to get the Jet and finally find out what it does!
