Re: MLB 15 Franchise Progress Thread

The game in almost un ****ing playable in the playoffs. Stamina bug is by far the worst bug in the game.

Re: MLB 15 Franchise Progress Thread

I'm about a week into the season but darn it, I'm going to finish those previews. So here are your New York Yankees:

Spoiler

MLB Team
It's no secret that the lineup is made up of veterans, several past their peak. Health will be the big question mark here, especially for Teixeira and Beltran. Alex Rodriguez is a huge question mark, he had a solid Spring Training but no one really knows how he'll be able to do over the course of a full year after missing an entire season. Ellsbury and Gardner will likely do a good job of setting the table, the hope is that McCann bounces back from a somewhat disappointing 2014 and that Headley's offensive numbers will benefit from the friendly confines of Yankees stadium. The ceiling for offensive production is fairly high, but a lot will have to go right in order to reach that ceiling. The defense, at least, should be quite improved over 2014. With Drew and Gregorius up the middle and Tex and Headly at the corners, the IF defense should be well above average. While Beltran won't impress anyone in RF, Ellsbury and Gardner should do more than enough to make up for his poor range.

The rotation also is full of question marks - Can Tanaka's elbow hold up? Can Pineda stay healthy and productive for a whole season? Can Sabathia bounce back from a poor 2014? Can Eovaldi limit hits and increase strikeouts? Can Capuano hold down the 5th spot until Nova returns? The bullpen should almost certainly be a strength this year. Betances and Miller are shut-down options for the 8th and 9th innings while Wilson and Carpenter can be counted on as good 7th inning candidates. Warren is next in line if a rotation spot opens up while Rogers and Martin will take care of the middle innings.

Farm System
The farm system is pretty heavily oriented toward position players, but possibly the top prospect is SP Luis Severino. While his size and delivery have some thinking he'll end up the in the bullpen, he's done nothing but dominate as a starter so far. He'll begin the year in AA and could be up in late 2016 if he continues to progress at this rate. Jacob Lindgren, the Yankees first draft pick in 2014, has raced through the system and will likely make his MLB debut in 2015.

Greg Bird and Aaron Judge are two of the better position player prospects. They'll join Gary Sanchez and Eric Jagielo on a rather loaded AA team. All four of those players could be competing for a spot at some point in 2016. Rob Refsnyder has shown the ability to hit at every level, but being relatively new to 2B he still has work to do on his defense. He could join the big league team sometime in 2015 if there's an injury or if Drew can't cut it. Lastly, Jorge Mateo is an exciting young SS with true 80 speed and promising ability with the glove and bat. He is quite young and pretty far from the majors, so he'll need to continue to progress on both sides of the ball.

Expectations
Well, it's the Yankees. While they are making a concerted effort to get a little younger and a little wiser about handing out long-term expensive contracts, they are still expected to be a competitor each and every year. This year is really no different, and with a somewhat muddled AL East, just about every team has a reasonable chance. As mentioned several times already, health will probably be the biggest factor. If the team can avoid any major long-term injuries and manage to get a few breaks along the way, they could find themselves sitting atop the division at the end of the season.

Question for those past year 1 in franchise.

Have any of you experienced players from other teams, changing numbers during the offseason. For example, the twins called up Byron Buxton, on opening day, he was wearing number 7, I went to go see what number Mauer was wearing, and he was at 13 for some reason.

Then I was playing the rays, and kevin kiermaier was wearing 44 instead of number 39. Anyone else experience this, I find it very odd.

I've seen it in my carryover franchise as well. What happens is the player that has the higher ratings gets to keep the number. For instance, in my franchise Wade Davis (73OVR) went from 17 to 18 because the Royals brought up a Rookie catcher who was #17 and an 76 OVR.

Re: MLB 15 Franchise Progress Thread

I'm 22-11 in my Yankees 'chise, up 2.5 games ont he Orioles. I was on a decent roll to start out the month of May until the O's took 3 out of 4 from me. I'm hoping to rebound against the lowly Rays and the struggling KC Royals to end out the Mid-May road trip.

Damn, sucks to hear man. I had stamina issues in the last round of playoffs I did with my Yankees. Lost in seven games to the A's and perpetually had to get guys warming in the bullpen by the 6th inning.

Hope you can rebound after a tough game 1 loss...then again as a Yankees fan, maybe not

My Twins (8-7) have dropped the past 3 series now after winning the first 2 of the year. Started 5-1. Since, 3-6.

Re: MLB 15 Franchise Progress Thread

I am currently 16-13 with the Orioles. Travis Snider was hurt for the first month of the season, but injuries past that have been minor. My biggest surpise has been Evereth Cabrera who is now leading off for me after playing his way into my everyday lineup. The problem is that it was at the sacrifice of Jonathan Schoop who is now in AAA for seasoning.

I'm 20th in BA (.249) but 8th in Runs (119). I'm 5th in ERA (3.01, led by Miguel Gonzalez's 1.73) but I've given up 33 Home Runs.

Here is my conundrum: I'm seriously considering trading J.J. Hardy. I've gotten offers for him (the most noticeable being Nelson Cruz from the Mariners) but I'm just not sure. He's spectacular defensively, but the drop off to Cabrera at SS and Schoop at 2B isn't that bad.

I could definitely use to boost, as my DH/Corner OF's are a mix of Travis Snider, David Lough, Steve Pearce (who has been a beast), Delmon Young, and Jimmy Paredes (who is edited up to a 70, with Contact of 68 and Power of 55).

Any ideas?

Well that lineup change sure got something going. Dyson did exactly what we needed and it carried over to the rest of the team. Got on base with a walk to start the bottom of the 1st. Got himself to 2nd with a stolen base. Then let the 3-4 hitters get him home. 3 runs total for him. He will start again game 3. Not sure if Cain or Morales will sit. If its Cain obviously Dyson will play CF. If it Morales then Rios would go to DH with Dyson in center and Cain in right.

Chris Young did pretty well. Forced to start him due to that stupid stamina bug. He only went 5 but gave up just 2 runs which is what i was looking for. Would have liked Guthrie to go longer than 1 1/3 so i didnt have to use Herrera though.

Re: MLB 15 Franchise Progress Thread

Just finished my first season with the Twins and Chris Davis and Clayton Kershaw just retired due to injury (Dislocated ankle and Torn Rotator Cuff respectively).

So that's kind of frustrating.

I always save the day before advancing to the off season to fix these kind of things if they happen.

Does reloading a save the day before offseason actually change career ending injuries? I thought those were decided at the time of the injury.

Yes it changes them. Sometimes the same player might retire over and over from their injury. But in that case you can just turn manual injuries on and remove the injury before advancing.

Dyson leading off bring the offense to life once again. Even though he did nothing to help it. 0-5 on the day. Going to start him again though. Feel like we can score more with him in than Morales.

We did a really good of answering whenever they scored. 2 in the bottom of the first for the Yankees and we answered with 2 of our own in the 2nd. Got some help on it though as Rios lead off the inning with triple on a missed dive by Beltran who got hurt on the play. He seems to be fine though and wills tart in game 4. Escobar singled to get Rios home and then stole second to help Perez get him home on a hit to RF. Yanks would score two more in the 4th with us coming back with 3 including a 2 run homer form Hosmer. We add an important insurance run in the 8th as Garrett Jones hit a solo HR to make it a 1 run game in the bottom of the 9th.

The score could have been tied on that last HR. In the bottom of the 4th with 1 out and A-Roid on 3rd. Ellsbury flew out to Alex Gordon in left and Rodriguez tried to go home. Gordon threw him out to end the inning.

What sliders are the best for a 162 game season where I want to play every one and have realistic stats? Also what's a good injury slider? Thanks!

Also, do you hit homers with normal swing? Or do you need power swing? If so when is it best to use each swing?

Thanks

Sliders depend on your skill level. A good set for one person might be terrible for someone else. I like TNK's or Armour & Sword's.

I use normal swing 99% of the time. Only time i use power swing is when it is 3-0 and i have a home run hitter up. And i still dont do it all the time in that situation. Ive actually never hit a HR with power swing before.
