I never pass on good pitching.  If your college scouting is high enough to project "reasonable" projections, that's your answer.   FWIW, your LF is a 1B/RF in the making.

If you noticed, I posted a new "Best Pitches" set from Mantle and it lists Fox as #2 in one league, but doesn't list Gonzalez in either.

Here are their pitches:

Gonzalez - 92-85-81-82-27
Fox          -  92-71-73-78-28

NO WAY Fox is better than Gonzalez. 

So I am almost certain that it isn't as relevant of a piece of data as I was hoping. 

Would you agree that the "best pitches" blurb may be as full of sh!t as the DITR data I was trying to collect?

Yeah, I'm not sure the "best" whatever blurbs are relevant to the game.    I'm sure there's some logic.   I'm just not sure it's right.

Jorge posada= bitter bastard or what?

Sure sounds that way.

If you have a bullpen ace with 90 dur/ 26 sta, how many innings can he give you?
5/13/2015 11:48 AM
He should be able to pitch 2 innings every three days, more or less.    He should be able to give you close to 200 innings on a season.   Assuming he's as good as you make him sound. 
5/13/2015 12:25 PM
200? Really? I was hoping you say 120-130. I've had 80/40 guys give me 160 before, and I thought this would be less.

Should I set him as Setup A, available any inning, pitch count target 20, max 30?
5/13/2015 1:00 PM

If he's as good as you say, he should be able to complete 2 innings with 25-30 pitches.   With that 90 DUR, he's going to be able to do that back to back from time to time.   I thought there were more off days(only 10) so that might jack my "close to 200" a bit but 180 still seems reasonable.   I'd set him 25-30 and available in 7th or 8th.  Probably 7th.

 

5/13/2015 1:04 PM
Thanks. I'll be happy if he even gets close to that.

This isn't a question, so I'll get deleted, won't I?
5/13/2015 1:09 PM
Not now.  But the problem will be if he really isn't capable of getting 6 outs on 28 pitches consistently. 
5/13/2015 1:11 PM
What if crickett asked you out on a date?


5/13/2015 1:29 PM
I really think crickett might be a chick.   So it would depend on how she looks.
5/13/2015 1:35 PM
Mike, had an interesting prospect pop up. A starting pitcher with projected ratings of...

CTRL- 92
vL- 48
vR- 58
VEL- 92
GnB- 89
P1- 95
P2- 95
P3- 55
P4- 40

Assuming he actually ends up with those ratings, how successful would this guy be as a ML pitcher?
5/13/2015 3:37 PM
Those guys are a little tough to project because the pitch ratings are good while the splits are well below average.   On the rare occassion I use someone like that, I use them as LR with PC of 50.   And they do around league average.   If I use them as a SP with a more appropriate PC, they get blasted.    I'd try him at LR and expect to see 1.40/4.50, more or less.
