Ghostrider Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 xpitdestroyerx, here is the scouting report that I used for Mike Timlin: http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/reds...reports/timlin/ Also, since Johnson is currently in the minors, I will wait to add him to the list, as I am strictly focusing on the major-league rosters at this time. Thank you for the information on DiNardo, it has also been updated. Myztery, thanks for the information about Wang, it has been updated. Also, here is the Cleveland Indians preview that you requested. I completed the list to the best of my ability. [align=center]Cleveland Indians[/align] Bob Wickman – #26, RP -2-Seam Fastball -Sinker -Slider/Slurve Cliff Lee – #31, SP -Cutter -4-Seam Fastball -Changeup -Curveball -Slider Paul Byrd – #36, SP -4-Seam Fastball -Slider -Changeup -Sinker Jake Westbrook – #37, SP -Sinker -Cutter -Changeup -Slider Matt Miller – #40, RP -??? Brian Sikorski – #44, RP -4-Seam Fastball -Slider Jeremy Sowers – #45, SP -4-Seam Fastball -Curveball -Slider -Changeup Edward Mujica – #49, RP -4-Seam Fastball -Slider -Changeup C.C. Sabathia – #50, SP -4-Seam Fastball -Curveball -Slider -Changeup Fausto Carmona – #55, RP -Sinker -Curveball -Changeup Fernando Cabrera – #56, RP -4-Seam Fastball -Splitter Guillermo Mota – #59, RP -4-Seam Fastball -Changeup -Slider Rafael Betancourt – #63, RP -4-Seam Fastball -Curveball -Changeup If you find an inconsistency in these pitch lists, please post it in this thread along with the reason you think it should be changed and include a source if possible (website, scouting report, etc.). Again, these lists are meant to be "beta previews", so if you decide to update your pitchers based on these "betas", please be advised that the information could change. Thanks again everyone for your continued help and support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Chien Ming Wang has a pretty filthy sinker. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chien-Ming_Wang I don't trust wikipedia. From what I have heard from Al Leiter and Jim Kaat on the YES network during games, Wang doesn't have a 90-94 mph sinker, but he has a 92-96 mph 2 seam fastball with awesome downward movement like a sinker. And this is coming from two good pitchers that played a long time in the game, and most likely talked to Wang (Leiter was with the Yankees last year, and Kaat is always around Yankee Stadium).

Myztery Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Thanks. The Indians look pretty accurate to me. The one pitch I saw that wasn't there is Edward Mujica's splitter. http://cleveland.indians.mlb.com/NASApp/ml...t=.jsp&c_id=cle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 Here is the basis of my pitch list for Chien-Ming Wang: http://yankees.scout.com/2/350213.html Since there is some confusion amongst sources, I am going to leave the sinker out of his pitch arsenal unless I come across another source besides Wikipedia that says he throws it. This source also says he throws a 4-Seamer, and doesn't mention a 2-Seamer. It is quite possible that he throws both. I'd like to see some more information about it if possible. Thanks for the help guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help guys. Wang (10-4) used his heavy sinker to overcome the errors by Rodriguez, who was replaced at third by Nick Green. http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory?id=...TC-RSSFeeds0312 Jorge Posada was so impressed by Chien-Ming Wang's sinker last night that he couldn't come up with a reason to call any other pitch. So he didn't. http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/yan...story?track=rss there you go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share Posted July 23, 2006 My apologies for being absent the past few days, my house has been without power since Friday morning, which translated into no internet either. It's back on and I'm getting caught up with everything, including this project, so please bear with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpitdestroyerx Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 hey Ghostrider great release so far. more information on the pitcher surely would be awesome for me it's enough the way it is one (maybe dumb) question: the pitchers who have not assigned a 4-seam heaterb don't really throw one ?!? keep it up. looking forward to the next releases to complete with the upcoming UR (if totte doesn't include your work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
