Was he Scottish?

No, english. But I guess Engy did not have the same ring to it.

Matt from TN · 05-21-2004, 10:24 PM

The Pitching options were changed on the first post of this thread to reflect ootp6. For players created prior to v6 coming out, I will make the following switch: Avoid Hits = Stuff, Avoid BB = Control, Avoid HR = Movement, Getting K's = Stuff, but if Avoid Hits was chosen as the other of 2 specialties, K's will affect Movement.

If you have created a pitcher who has not yet debuted and want to choose something different than what I posted above, feel free to let me know & I'll do that for you.

EDIT: The following changes were also made for batters: Contact, Gap Power, Homerun Power, Eye

I should add that Lucky should be the ultimate infield utility player: equally--and highly--adept at 3B, SS, 2B, 1B, and even catcher. Very flexible guy in the field
