How Deep Would This Team Go in Real Life?

[Hellquist]

I stopped playing MLB 15. I finished All Star Break 2 weeks ago. My record is currently the best in the league. I forgot the numbers but it should be 80-9 or something crazy. I do remember having less than 10 losses. It's either 9 or 7. I am not sure.

This is my team:

1B: Ryan Zimmerman
2B: Yunel Escobar
3B: Anthony Rendon
Catcher: Wilson Ramos
CF: Mike Trout
LF: Giancarlo Stanton
RF: Bryce Harper
SS: Ian Desmond
DH: Jayson Werth/Jose Bautista
Pitchers: Kershaw, Scherzer, Zimmerman, Strasburg, Gonzalez.

If this team was real, would they be World Series favorites for consecutive seasons? Would they go deep? The outfield is my dream big 3 and I love playing with them. Mike Trout is the first batter and Giancarlo Stanton is the last. It's the perfect lineup how I have it.

Probably not as well as you would believe that team would be.

Re: How Deep Would This Team Go in Real Life?

I don't understand what you are trying to say? Elaborate please. 3 of the best hitters in the game are in the outfield. 2 of the best starting pitchers in the game. How far do you think they would go? Your reply gives me nothing.

IRL the sky's the limit.
Then on the other hand if that outfield didn't have chemistry
this team could go real deep, like six feet deep.

If you have stopped playing is there really any point to this thread besides how you took advantage of a broken trading system and built a mega team.

If this is the way you like to play then more power to you, but I see no entertainment value in this style of play. I would only be happy with a super team if I had built it over several years of development and strategy.

I just finished my 3rd complete season and I have built a great team that won 98 games and made it to The World Series. But a team like this can only be held together for so long before it is no longer cost effective.

As for real life if things happen the way they worked out in real life? Lets take a look


1B: Ryan Zimmerman - .249 out half the year the on DL
2B: Yunel Escobarn - .314 but only 56 RBI 75 runs
3B: Anthony Rendon - .264 25 RBI with 43 runs
Catcher: Wilson Ramos - .229 68 RBI with 41 runs
CF: Mike Trout - .299 90 RBI 41 HR 104 runs
LF: Giancarlo Stanton - .265 67 RBI 27 HR 47 runs out for the season
RF: Bryce Harper - .330 99 RBI 42 HR 118 runs
SS: Ian Desmond - .233 62 RBI 69 runs
DH: Jayson Werth/Jose Batista -.221 42 RBI 51 runs out half the year / . .250 40 HR 108 runs
Pitchers: Kershaw, Scherzer, Zimmerman, Strasburg, Gonzalez.

Pitching is strong but all of them struggled at times thru the year. So depending on when they all struggled it could have been a disaster. See the real Nationals since most of your team are currently there. "Super Team" right there and they couldn't get a wild card.

All told I think you might hit 90 wins if everything went perfect, but that never happens.

Just my two cents.

Thanks for the response. I don't see this team as a mega team. This is not an All Star team. I kept the original team but added some of my favorite players. I play on Dynamic, so the difficulty goes up. I stopped playing because of NBA 2K16, NBA Live 16, Tony Hawk 5, and other games I can't even remember right now. Those are my priorities now. 90 wins seems plausible, so thank you.

that outfield is worth like 20 WAR if they're healthy, makes up for the infield. Rotation is pretty outstanding. Not sure what the pen looks like but it's a 95 win team easy, 100+ if they get some breaks.

Like already said, looks great on paper. Teams don't always live up to their expectations.

I can sum this up in 1 word. PAYROLL!

This would never happen in real life. Kershaw, Scherzer alone is more payroll than most teams and then you look at your high paid fielders. I am sorry but I just dont see the point of having a team with that many all stars and nothing to look forward to now that you already built a power house team. A challenge would maybe take 1 or 23 of your favorite players and build around them, but heck i only play with real up to date rosters so what do I know.

Re: How Deep Would This Team Go in Real Life?

Everything would have to go perfect I don't think they would win the championship. They would probably get to the playoffs and lose early. Too many things happen with superteams. First you have the egos, then the pressure of trying to live up to the expectations. Then you have the inevitable injuries some of them will be season ending. Every team that they play will play them like its their championship game. Some examples are the 2004 Lakers with Malone, Kobe, Payton, and Shaq. The Philadelphia Eagles dream team.

I have a potent team in Year 6 of a MLB14 carryover franchise and have failed to reach the WS in my last three years and have been only once.

Heck, last year, barely won the division.

Just because a team is "loaded" doesn't mean there's no challenge or "nothing to look forward to". If he went 80-9, that's another issue besides his roster. I look forward to each draft and offseason and how my prospect pan out (or fail to). Can't wait to see what Year 7 (2020) will have in store for me.

Re: How Deep Would This Team Go in Real Life?

The team would definitely push 90-100 wins almost every year, but the team seems pretty similarly structured to the Dodgers of the last year or so. Two aces up top, Scherzer and Kershaw, an no-hole lineup, and a couple superstars, yours albeit much higher caliber. So in real life i would say a lot like the dodgers, maybe 5-10 wins more on average. Also have to factor in all the ego in one locker room like that, i feel like Giancarlo and Harper would have some conflict. Trouty of course has no ego which is why hes baseball's greatest of all time.
