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.
* If you have wiki rights, add your player(s) and team(s) there as well!

Next on my list for the update are some Padres players not in the game. After Quackenbush I am going to do Derek Norris and Alexi Amarista, maybe some people can help me with other Padres like Robbie Erlin and Casey Kelly.
Quackenbush is a young righty reliever who was rushed into the Majors and eventually the closers role by the Padres last season, however, I doubt he'll be the closer next season. He will have low stamina either way.
Here's what I'm thinking:
TOP SPD: 94 (That's the highest I've seen him hit)
CTRL: 100-115 (Control needs some work)
STAM: 40-55 (As I said earlier, not a reliever who works over an inning)
Pitches:
CURVE: 2-3
CHG: 1-2 (I have no idea on this guy's pitches, only scouting report I could find was from Arizona Fall League in 2012)
Special Abilities:
???

Any help is necessary and greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

On top of the pitches you have; v-slider (1-2), 2sfb 1. Release 4 gd pick off. Vs LH4 you could get but his minor stats reveal a much closer split than his major league ones. I think CB should be a 2-3 the others (v-slider, change and 2sFB should be a 1).

My stats:

Top Speed: 94
Ctrl: 130-140. 3.0 BB/9 rate is pretty consistent
Stam: he's averaged less than an inning, so the minimum is fine - no need to get it higher than 40

CB 2-3 is fine
CHG or SPLT 1-2
The other pitch types he threw twice or less in the whole season (??) so despite a scouting report talking about his great slider, I'm just not sure. Unless the CHG/SPLT is actually a V-SLD, that might make sense. it moves straight down, whatever it is.

RISP/4 - he's consistently stranded runners at a high rate. 79% last season. Poise 4 could also work. Dude avoids hits.
Dr K - yeah he's a candidate for it. 9.3 SO/9 in his one season so far, and three minor league stops had rates over 10/9 IP (and one of them he averaged 15 Ks per 9 IP, wow)
Vs Lefty 4 is actually okay with his splits last season, but as was mentioned, that's a tiny sample size, use with caution

Flyball Pitcher would be a good ability, only 37% GB rate

Ok, I heard that he had a splitter, but wasn't sure. I'll start him now, thanks for the help, robhallett and AOW.

Finished. Came out the way I wanted him too. Appearance wise, birthday wise and ability wise. Any help with other Padres players (Norris, Amarista, Erlin, Kelly) is greatly appreciated. Enjoy!
