OS Create-A-Player Dynasty: The Houston Astros

[Bluejaysfan65]

The Houston Astros have been declared to be financial troubles, and in order to remain a team in the MLB, they must be be able to get under their already superbly low salary cap. With this, they have announced that they have released many members of their team from last year. With the new season on the horizon, the Astros will rely on new recruits such as Nick McColgan, Josh Stone and Tyler Jacobs to lead them to supremacy at the top of the American League standings.

Player Presets
I have come up with a few preset ratings for hitters and pitchers that I believe are reasonable. Whatever the players' three strong points are, they will add 15 points to that skill on top of the preset. (For example, if the preset for power is 80, and the player has selected power as one of his strong skills, then his power will be bumped to a 95). Because of this, the players should all be rated differently depending on which strong skills were picked, however they should be in the same range. For both contact and power, the side the side that the batter bats on will receive a 10 point decrease (for example, if a batter is right handed, power and contact against right-handed pitchers will have a preset that is 10 less than the regular presets). As said, the presets for hitters are:
Potential: 85
Contacts: 70
Power: 65
Bunting: 50
Plate Vision & Discipline: 65
Clutch: 60
Durability: 73
Speed (if power hitter or fat, minus 10): 63
Arm: 72
Reaction: 68
Fielding AB: 73
Blocking (Catcher plus 50): 20
Stealing (if power hitter or fat, minus 15. If speedy add 10.) & BR AGR: 67

The logic is the same for pitchers, each stat or series of stats will have a preset value and the skill that is chosen to be boosted will also receive a 15 point boost. The pitcher presets are as follows:

Stamina (Relievers minus 30): 70
Pitching Clutch: 65
H/9: 65
HR/9: 65
K/9: 65
BB/9: 65
Pitch #1
Velo: 75
Control: 65
Break: 40
Pitch #2
Velo: 80
Control: 65
Break: 55
Pitch #3
Velo: 65
Control: 60
Break: 55
Pitch #4
Velo: 70

Control: 40
Hitting Skills:

All power and contact: 35
Buntings: 50
Plate vision & discipline: 40
Clutch: 20
Durability: 55
Speed: 60
Arm Strength & Accuracy: 70
Reaction: 60
Fielding: 70
