Baltimore Orioles' Roster Thread

[Rod_Carew29]

I went through 25 players on the Orioles roster--my tentative set roster as of now for Opening Day. I'm only going to post the most important changes/updates or those that I deem most neccessary.

Drag Bunters:

NONE of the pitchers---starters, relievers or closers should have any attribute points here. And yes, ratings are affected.


The Powerless:

Caesar Izturis-ZERO from both sides

Ryan Freel-ZERO from both sides


The ALMOST Powerless:

Felix Pie: powerL=0

Brian Roberts: power vs. lefties-0 (his days of slugging anything close to 20 homers are over; look it up)

Donnie Murphy: powerL=0


Better Looking Stances*

Ty Wigginton: Gary Matthews, Jr.

Ryan Freel: Blanco

Greg Zaun
(I choose the left side with switch hitters, since that's the side with the most AB's): Gary Bennett

Donnie Murphy: Harmon Killebrew

Luke Scott: Rich Aurilia

* I synched all of the avove with MLB's videos last night


Deliveries:

Mark Hendrickson-Odalis Perez

Dennis Sarfate-Jason Jennings

Matt Albers-I have Generic 13...I think that one is close

Jamie Walker-Billy Wagner

Jim Miller-Burton

Thank you for this. I'll apply these edits as well as other edits. I LOL'ed when I saw your "the powerless" and "the almost powerless" lists.

EDIT: Is there a good pitching motion for Koji Uehara, and his pitches?

[ShowTyme15]

how about a stance for adam jones?

[Rod_Carew29]

LOL

that was spur of the moment. If I ever get to doing a thread for any other club, I may present it the same way. LOL

For Uehara, I'm using Jason Jennings. This was based off of a clip I saw of him last year where he pitched a couple of innings. Don't know if Baltimore has changed his delivery.

Hey Carew what do you think 4 Wigginton to have mclouth stance i think its closer to him just based of the spring games i've seen.

[Rod_Carew29]

yes, Jones keeps it real basic, Jeff Cirillo fits him just about perfectly

they are REAL close. I think when I went through all 46 pages or so last night, McLouth's was one of the finalists...lol

I think the only reason I didnt go with it was that Matthews' bat angle was slightly higher within thebat movement. But they are almost interchangeable in any case
