I'm not sure I can take the wrath of the Trade Announcements forum.

LOL. That's funny. But sad. But funny.

[Jistic]

LMAO!

Ok time to pick now!

[mahoney2]

I'm ready to go...maybe we switch picks?

Maybe I should make my next pick into a poll question since i can't pick until 3pm, any suggestions?

5 of my scouts had him 5-7-5, with another at 6-8-6

5-7-5 was the majority and minimum opinion held by my scouts.

[mahoney2]

My guys loved Garcia outside of his power, I think he had an 8 in one category from a couple scouts.

[Lintyfresh85]

That exactly what I had Heller at.

My scouts were also high on Ivan Garcia.

Good picks.

I think my guys had Garcia at 6-6-2-6-6. No power, but can do just about everything else.

Come back next week Brad, we should be ready by then. Who's holding this whole thing up anyways?

[BradleyB]

let me know when pick 65 comes up.

Correct. In basic terms Stuff = Striekouts, Movement = HR Allowed, Control = Walks. It's obviously not that simple but that's the basic correlation between ratings and stats.

It is alot more in depth than that of course. After playing this game for awhile you pick up on what means what little better.

[Jistic]

How is that a prototypical strike out guy?

Wouldn't a 4-7-4 indicate that the guy doesn't strike out many guys, but is hard to make solid contact on? Thus he'd have a low K/BB but a good OAVG? And with such high movement he should have one of the lowest HR allowed IMO.

You're right. I had my ratings mixed up!

That is the way I understand it too.
