Found this international prospect with dynamite vR (100!!!) vL (77), control, pitches, velocity... all that.  The only catch?  Potential stamina of 18 (durability of 70ish).

What would vets think if they saw a guy like this?  My first reaction is that he's good for a shutdown inning of work more often than not, probably net about 80 appearances, 70 innings... something like that. 

Love some input!  Thanks!

My player record for pitcher appearances is 82 innings in 87 games. His ratings were 25/71 and I was using him as a Setup A. Seems close to the numbers you are thinking of.

That is, of course, only a single data point.

I would set an 18 stamina guy no more than 5-10 pitches a game...in that thinking I don't think he would get 70 innings in 80 games...more like 55-60. I would still grab him for that though.

I think it would be a waste to have him as a reliever. If he gets 70-80 innings per year, that's not using him to his full potential.

The guy I just linked above has 18 dur and 70 sta, and I've been using him as a starter with 70 target PC and 80 max PC. He is averaging a bit over 5 innings per start, and he hasn't had to miss any starts. I'm thinking I could probably even ge away with a 75/90 pitch count.

Crap. I just realized you said 18 stamina, 70 durability, not the other way around.

I'd put him at 15 target PC and 70 max. That'll give him an inning per appearance, and he'll be ready to go again after one day of rest. So,yeah, 70 innings sounds good.

LOL put down that beer son

What's your IFA budget?

Keep in mind that projected ratings are influenced by your scouting budget.  The lower the budget, the more inaccurate the projections will be.  So that 100 vR may be a red herring.

What is his initial bonus demand?

Initial demand was, I believe, 2 mil. 
My international scouting budget is 14, and I have more $$$ (almost twice as much) as anyone else in the league. 
I'm in a bidding war with another dude and if I were to grab this RP for the offer I just made, I would still have enough capital to outbid anyone on another player.

Look it up.

I know what it means. You're using it in an odd way.

"Keep in mind that projected ratings are influenced by your scouting budget.  The lower the budget, the more inaccurate the projections will be.  So that 100 vR may be a red herring."

The 100 vR rating is a red herring.  It's easy to be misled by such an extremely high rating and greatly overvalue the player if you lose sight of the fact that projected ratings are never 100% accurate, and the inaccuracy increases the lower your scouting budget is.

How is that an "odd way" to use the term?

I thought you meant the 100 vR rating was a dried, smoked herring.

How else can you cut down the mightiest tree in the forest?
