Robhallet (in 2010):
EricDavis in 2011 had:
by 2013 it was:


so I am going with:
#20
age 21 (end of 2007)
main position catcher, might give him secondary of 1B if points allow
TRJ 2-3
CON 9
POW 118-122
SPD 8-9? (had 9 steals, only 1 CS in 2013...is he fast or just perceptive?)
ARM 8-9? (CS% is consistently below average?)
FLD 9? (Total Zone has him coming out above avg, BIS has him below...)
E RES 10-11

Specials:
Vs Lefty 4

Can anyone help on the others - should he have good block, poor small ball, etc?
I can get Contact Hitter, I might bump contact down to 8 if I get it.

He has bunted in the past and has RBI's from those. Thus I would leave it neutral. He is a patient hitter though. And he does hit well with runners in
Position as well

Hey, Alloutwar, from the tons and tons of players that I've made, when ever there's a player that was born in 1988 or later, you set their age (at the end of success mode) to 19. I read that thread you made about it, but I never had a problem with it.
Year---Age (end of success)
1988---19
1987---20
1986---21
1985---22
....
But this is just from what I have experienced.

right, that's what robhallet said and what Dishnet verified. it turns out all the players I had gotten wrong (of 10 out of the 14, to be exact) were due to me trying to set the age a year more to account for the birthday passing in 2008 (before season mode starts).

So yeah, just setting their age in years to whatever it was at the end of 2007 has always worked.

Oh okay, just wanted to confirm too And if you don't get contact hitter, then I think you should bump contact up to 10... he hit .301 last season. He also had 53 doubles last season! But that doesn't necessarily mean he's a speed daemon, so maybe bump up his power to 130ish?

I might give him Good Catcher, because he's been one of the upper-tier pitch framers in the league, if that helps with anything, which I'm not sure it does.

Just my $.02.

Well here's what I've got, AAA starting in a month:

TRJ 2
Con 7
Pwr 118
Run 8
Arm 8
Fld 8 (glove)
E res 9

Vs lefty 4
Hot hitter
Good B2B hitter
1B second position

Already hit two massive homers, the second off Jonathan in the deciding WildJokers game, a 3-run shot with 2 on base. Also already had a Goodjob operation, successful, just boosted everything by 1 and power by 30. Gave me lots of points tho, helps to get Vs Lefty 4 and 1B as a second position out of the way early, not to mention power and fielding are mostly where I wanted them.

Stupid sittch thing, I was out if practice and did too much. So two hitting abilities is enough, ill skip contact hitter I think. Ill end up with 8 or 9 contact, that plus three blues is plenty.

Thanks for the good catcher idea, his pitch framing is highly touted...I don't see the brewers rotation doing awesome, but who knows!

AAA coming to an end. I have

TRJ 2
Con 7
Pow 120
Run 9
Arm 9
Fld 9
E res 10

Good catcher
Good B2B hitter
Hot Hitter
Vs lefty 4
1B second position

With three hitting blues, I'm afraid to put contact too high. I know Lucroy hit .300 last season, but I'm not going for 2014, I'm going for his entire career. So do I go

Con 7 plus contact hitter (final sittch training)
Con 8
Con 8 plus contact hitter
Con 9

Which is best given he already has C power and three blue abilities?

Contact 9 with no contact hitter, he hits for too much power to have contact hitter imo

done! on to JP Arencibia...
