Rank 'Em: Unbreakable Records

I think someone hits 50 also. It just need to be the right guy in the right park.

Loren Wallace?

[Delandis]

lol, you're worse than JJ was with Gremades.

Thanks, Sully. That means so much coming from the division that massages each other egos and other parts so frequently.


But, since you now recognize the awesomeness that is Loren Wallace,




let's move to Don Castor.

Loren Wallace?

Beat me to it.

We kicked Baltimore out of the Stout for a reason.

As for Castor, if he were LH, he'd probably hit 60 playing half his games in that park.

Loren Wallace?

I don't see Wallace as a pure Power/HR guy. I think he's a guy who in a GREAT (and healthy) season, hits in the 36-38 ballpark.

I think Kinsey in my park or B'Mores touches 50.

I think it also has to be in a decent lineup where he's "protected" and not just IBB'd over and over.

EDIT: I think Rex Knight in VIR or BAL could touch 50 also.

[Delandis]

And I'm sure when someone does, everyone will poo-poo the accomplishment and trash the player because of where it occurred. But that's ok.

Note to self. Ignore Sin City's record and vote for Skerik for GMOY.

[Clay]

And he needs to stay healthy, and his division needs to be relatively devoid of pitching. Kellum hit 39 in our inaugural season at age 35 while missing an entire month with a scratched cornea. Someone can definitely hit 50 in that park.

No one trashes the accomplishments as long as the Owner owns it. Mel Woodbury has piled up Stout Sluggers and I 100% credit the fact that I "de-GIGGA-fied" my stadium specifically to meet his skills. Woodbury is a fantastic player anyway... but he pads his stats in our place. I built it for him... and have drafted played to fit the stadium.

In all seriousness, I don't think he even gets that close. Maybe 33-35 at 100% healthy. He's not a true power guy.

Loren IS what I THOUGHT Geoff was.

[Delandis]

50 HR's. Never happen.

What about Indy's, Miguel Rodriguez?

I was being sarcastic about Wallace given the earlier convo. Sorry prez. But castor would have a shot.

Castor is an unbelievable power talent, but the fact that he's RH actually hurts him a little bit since that park actually plays slightly below average for HR by RHB. I think Clay may be right, Kinsey in a LHB friendly park (BAL/PIT) might have a legit shot.

Question (it's come up before): Are we expecting power numbers to increase in the mid 90's to mirror real life baseball trends or is our universe immune to real life era influence?

[Pat]

Immune.

I'm pretty sure we have our universe set to like 1970s baseball or something like that.

[BradZ]

Immune.

I'm pretty sure we have our universe set to like 1970s baseball or something like that.

Thanks, that sounds incredibly authoritative and definitive.

[Pat]

The "immune" part was said with confidence.

I said "pretty sure" and "something like that" to let you know I'm not definite on the time period we chose to mimic our stats after.

Fuck off.

That's better.
