Thomas Diamond, who was called up to replace Ted Lilly after the trade, has a delivery of Brett Tomko

Don't know how he did it but I did some quick research and threw some numbers together and came up with the following for Tyler Colvin

Contact vs Righties: 66
Power vs Righties: 62
Contact vs Lefties: 65
Power vs Lefties: 41

these are just rough numbers based on my own scale and quick research but wont be able to do more without exact numbers. If anyone knows where I can find out the Average amount of home runs per player per season, average amount of at bats per player per season, and average batting average per player all over the last 3 seasons and all vs righties and vs lefties I could give a more exact number but besides that all I can say is my scale is:

.400 BA = 99 contact
.260 BA is my Average used
125 HR vs Righties is my 99 Power vs Righties
100 HR vs Lefties is my 99 Power vs Lefties
400 AB vs Righties is my average vs Righties
200 AB vs Lefties is my average vs Lefties
(ALL ARE OVER 3 SEASONS)

Max scherzer also a good option for Diamond

For which stat?


For batting avg I go by a .150-.350 range, so 0 = .150, 50 = .250 and 99 = .350+. Each attribute point = two hundreths, so for example I would give a .274 hitter about a 62. In Colvin's case, he had been on a tear when I posted my rating suggestions, and he has a really small career sample size to work with (I would normally go by a players previous 3 year stretch), so I bumped him up a little. Of course, it's not exact, but it seems to give pretty realistic results.

For HRs, I base my numbers on the total number of HRs per 650 PAs vs. L/R. 0 = 0 50 = 25 and 99 = 50+. I do this because you really can't just say x rating = y amount of HRs. Guys can get injured which makes it appear there was a decrease in power, but it really had more to do with the decreased # of PAs. Ex: In 2009 Aramis Ramirez hit just 15 HRs, but that had more to do with the fact that he only had 342 PAs. Anyhow...I divide the number of total HRs hit vs. L/R by the number of PAs vs. L/R (which gives the # of HRs hit per PA), multiply that number by 650 (to get the # of projected HRs hit in 650 PAs) and then multiply that by 2 (since 2 attribute points = 1 HR). I actually screwed up on the power ratings because I based it on 650 ABs, not PAs, so those ratings were probably about 5 too high...

I'll admit, I came upon these formulas w/ MLB 08 on PS2 when I used to do my own rosters/edits, so the attribute points may not translate exactly like they did 2 years ago.

any1 have a good marcos mateo delivery?

[Side Effect]

I think Starlin Castro warrants a new ratings adjustment. He has 56 and 52 contact rating and that is just too low for someone ranked 3rd in the NL for batting average. So does anyone know what his new ratings should be?

does anyone have a bobby scales, brad snyder, sam fuld stance and scott maine delivery...thanks
