The Carolina Mudcats

[vrobx1]

For starters, an apology to those who were following my other little works. I somehow managed to corrupt my memory card and can't get a thing to load. But, rather than just disappear, I got a new memory card and have an idea that may or may not appeal to any of you but I'll toss it out there and if there is interest and sign-ups, we'll do it!
I'm going to run a MLB 08 The Show Chise with myself as the manager of the Carolina Mudcats, the AA club affiliated with the Florida Marlins. Now, all I need are players. Daniel Barone and Ross Wolf are unedittable namewise but all other postions are open. So, if you wanna play for the Mudcats, sign up now. It's first come, first serve. Just reply with your name and position.

Note, there are no players who are primary at right field though, obviousy, one of the left or center fielders will play in right.
Also, when you sign up, scouting reports will be given of your player, which will be similar to the ones I will post for Barone and Wolf.

Age: 24
Salary: 310,000

Overall: C
Velocity: F
Stamina: B
Control: F
Fielding: D
Potential: C

A notch below average, he may yet have his moments. May.
His heater often leaves the bat faster than it reaches the plate.
Provides solid innings without tiring out.
He must think walks are good for pitchers.
Solidly below average glove, keeps the official scorer busy.
He'd be happy with a career as a #4 starter.

Throw: Right
Age: 25

Fielding: B
Potential: C

More than a little below average. Mop-up work recommended.
Hitters will be waiting for his fastball.
Gets fatigued very early, and often.
Needs to find the strike zone more often.
Steady glove, perhaps a bit better.
Not a bad reliever, but a dime a dozen talent.

Name: Josh Woodson
Postion: Center Field
Secondary Positions: Right Field, Left Field
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 205 pounds
Bats: Switch
Throws: Right
Age: 23
Salary: 125,901

Overall: D
Contact: F
Power: F
Fielding: F
Speed: F
Potential: C

He won't break any hitting records.
Needs to improve contact if he wants to make it in the show.
If he goes yard more than half dozen times, be thankful.
Awful with the leather. A routine play is never routine with him.
Speed is sub-par. Steal attempts are rare.
Talent is good, but frustrates managers with lack of consistency.

Alright finally I'm in time for one!

Here's me:

Zach Myers
#22
SS
6'0"
199 lbs.
Bats: Right
Throws: Left (I know, I'm weird )
Salary: A high one!

Overall: Make me decent
Good at fielding
Ok at hitting


Hope you go through with this vrobx, sorry your card got corrupted. Keep this going.

[vrobx1]

Name: Zach Myers
Position: Shortstop
Secondary Positions: Second Base, Third Base
Height: 6' 0"
Weight: 199 pound
Bats: Right
Throws: Right (wouldn't let me change it to left)
Age: 19
Salary: 120,000

Overall: D
Contact: F
Power: D
Fielding: F
Speed: D
Potential: C

Sub-standard hitter. Good games are uncommon.
Consistently hits for a low BA.
A dozen or so dingers are possible.
Awful with the leather. A routine play is never routine with him.
Not known for his speed.
Occasionally brilliant, but plagued by inconsistency.

(Note: I'm playing AA so all players will sound really but, remember, the opposition will be just as bad. I may make a reward system to boost attributes a bit if one is named player of the game or some such. Can't get everyone's stats to suddenly jump real high or AA ball will be way too easy for us.)

[YoungWonda]

It's all good. You are playing other AA teams?

As long as I get better, I'm fine

[vrobx1]

Right. We'll be playing such powerhouses as the Mobile Baybears and the Montgomery Biscuits.
I'm going to try and write it in a style similar to John Feinstein's Next Man Up. Which is a fantastic read for people who would love to get a good inside perspective on what an NFL season is like.

Name: Jonathon Gonzalez
Position: Catcher
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 212 pounds
Bats: Right

Age: 20
Salary: 122,927

Overall: D
Contact: F
Power: F

Speed: D
Potential: B

He won't break any hitting records.
A friend to pitchers both good and bad with his frequent whiffing.
Can barely reach the fences, let alone clear them.
It's hard to say what's worse, his glove or his arm.
Does not exactly fly around the bases.
Loaded with potential, could be a star.
