BOSTON RED SOX - Stances / Equipment / Edits

[TGov]

Pat Light was just promoted to AAA, I think his ratings need some love...
Anybody have any idea how to appropriately update Light's attributes?

I have been reading that since the Sox moved Light to the bullpen his fastball has been reaching the high 90s and i think I read somewhere that he even hit 98 or 99 a few times, I would boost his velocity and clutch pitching rating cause he's been used as a closer a few times and he's been pretty darn good in relief, but that's just my opinion

Good call. I'm hitting better with Ross's stance too, so that's a plus.

Anyone like my Gregorious for Ortiz idea?

I like Gregorious but I think I prefer Grossman's stance because he holds the bat more vertically

Grossman is what I use. I think I have gone through all the suggestions for Ortiz and I always come back to Grossman. Sometimes when I watch Ortiz bat live, Grossman is sometimes spot on. I guess it just depends on how Ortiz wants to stand somedays.

That's pretty much what I did. Changed his role to closer and adjusted velocity. I will probably adjust his clutch a little and possibly more once I see some more results in AAA.

LJ Hoes is really good for Hanley if you don't mind minimal movement. I still prefer Zimmerman though.

Seriously? To me, Grossman is completely off. The stance is way too open, the bat movement goes way too forward like Hanley's. The only thing that is perfect is the velocity of the bat movement. To me, Gregorious's stance is almost perfect. It would be perfect if the bat movement went slightly over Ortiz's head and was ever so slightly slower. To each his own.
