Adopt a prospect Fall thread
As per my adopt a prospect Winter thread, I plan to create a quickstart 2016 league starting with the 2016 season using OOTP17 and I will create 5-8 prospects based on response to the thread. I will use a slightly modified template that I used in the past. I will run sims at night probably 5-6pm CST give or take an hour or so.

Here is what you need to tell me if you want to be a prospect


Name:
Nickname: Not necessary, but if you want one
High School or College, and birthday (don't need year, just month and date)
Note - college players will have higher current ratings (50%), but have less potential (-10%)
Hometown (needs to be a real place):
Uniform Number:
Personality Attributes, pick 1-200 in each of the following, totals equal up to 1250 combined:
Leadership:
Desire for Winner:
Loyalty:
Greed:
Work Ethic:
Intelligence:
Adaptability:
Controversy:
Handle Success:
Handle Failure:
Handle Critics:

Height:
Weight:
Bats :R/L/S
Throws: R/L
Position/Role (if you pick a position player, select a primary, and then a secondary position):


Position Player Options:
Bat Rating Allocations (High School players first, college players second)
Position (Catcher, Corner Infielder/Corner Outfielder, Middle Infielder/Center Fielder)
Ratings are Current/Potential
Any Position - HS (225/775) College (338/698)

Example would be as follows:
College CIF 1B/3B
338/698

BABIP: 110/150
Avoid K's: 48/98
Gap: 60/150
Power: 60/150
Eye/Patience: 60/150
Total = 338/698

Speed and Defense:

You can select one of the following five:

Exceptional Defensively, but slow
Good defensively, but slower
Good mix of speed and defense
Good speed, but average defensively
Exceptional speed, but below avg defensively




If you select a Starting pitcher:
You get 3-4 pitches, pick those 3-4 pitches, one of them MUST be a fastball/sinker/cutter or knuckleball. You can choose 3 instead of 4, just utilize the points how you want.

Closers get 2 pitches and will automatically max those two pitches at 200 potential, but agian, one MUST be fastball/sinker/cutter. No knuckler closers, sorry.

Say those 2-4 pitches, your choices are:
fastball
sinker
cutter
curveball
slider
changeup
splitter
forkball
circle change
screwball
knucklecurve
knuckleball

Same deal here for ratings, but increased as well so we have more dominant pitching than past threads. Going for a more lengendary class, once in a lifetime prospects. Stamina and Hold will come out of the potential total, not the current total.
Ratings are Current/Potential
SP - HS (350/950) College (525/875)
CL - College (525/775) Note: No HS age closers, sorry.

So an example would be:

High School SP

Fastball: 60/150
Curveball: 60/150
Changeup: 25/75
Slider: 60/100
Movement: 90/150
Control: 55/125
Stamina: 150
Hold Runners: 50
Total 350/925

I will let the CPU generate speeds, Closers and HS pitchers will be higher than college...calling it more mileage and polish make you throw slightly slower, but I will make sure everyone that is not a knuckler is throwing at least 91-94mph




I will give you an update at end of each SIM month, and posters will get to decide where they go as free agents, and when they retire.

For those that want to retire, you have to tell me when you want to retire, but if a player doesn't get any offers for 12 months, he will be forced to retire.

If you enter a player, I need you to consistently check into this thread (subscribe please!) and be able to update decisions for your player within 24 of the post, otherwise I make the decision, and that loses all the joy in doing this. So only enter a player if you intend on following up on this.

I will keep this post updated as people sign up (I won't count my own player as part of the group).
