Classic Teams - MLB 16

[SuicideSqueeze]

I have player-locked with Al Kaline for a season and I feel like I have superhuman powers now.

Correction Rob. There is a 1991 Twins roster with the 71 Bucs and season teams which needed that adjustment. Your 71 Bucs roster is right on. Still playing with 79 Pirates with last years set. Got a couple going and got confused.

Stargell's speed is I believe 75 so I lowered him to 50 I may go down to 46. This is a fun roster.

No problem. Enjoy!

Almost have the AL complete for V 2.0. Should be month's end for the second set!

I'll be bringing the '79 Pirates over to MLB 16 in v 3.0.

I have a question. I am an Astros fan and I was wondering why you were using the 2015 Astros for the second version. The 2005 Astros were our first pennant team. I understand it is easier to use the 2015 Astros since the roster isn't that different. I know the 2005 Astros lost the World Series, but they still made it whereas the 2015 team didn't make it. Just wondering. I am fine either way.

They simply fit my criteria. When making these teams, I look at World Series champs, World Series appearances, playoff appearances and/or 90+ win seasons. After this, the other important proviso I'm trying to establish is that I am attempting to incorporate as many great players into these sets as possible. Looking at the 2015 team, I want Altuve and Correa represented in these sets. I'll be putting the '98 Astros in v 3.0 which will be my final complete set. On that '98 team, I'll have both Biggio and Bagwell accounted for on a team that won 102 games. I hope that makes sense.

Will Randy Johnson be on the Astros for 1998? He was not on the team at the beginning, but he was on their playoff roster after being acquired from the Seattle Mariners.
