Hollywood Nights - A Dodgers Fantasy Franchise

The 35 Round draft has been completed, and overall I am quite pleased with my team. I drafted a little strange, but why not, its about to be a new year and the guys I got will carry me into The Show 17. Here is a pick by pick & what position each player was drafted out of in order for me. The draft overall ratings are next to each player, with the prospects I drafted showing potential & years of age. A lot of guys on this team wound up going up in rating due to coaching / and being in California.

1) CP Craig Kimbrell (R) 89
2) CP Zach Britton (L) 88
3) SP Kyle Hendricks (R) 83
4) 3B Todd Frazier (R) 84
5) SP Scott Kazmir (L) 82
6) SP Trevor Bauer (R) 80
7) SP Rich Hill (L) 85
8) SS Trevor Story (R) 77
9) LF Corey Dickerson (L) 78
10) RF Shane Victorino (S) 80
11) C Nick Hundley (R) 75
12) CF Franklin Guiterrez (R) 76
13) RP Bryan Shaw (R) 76
14) 1B Clint Robinson (L) 73
15) RP Sean Marshall (L) 75
16) CF Cameron Maybin (R) 74
17) SP Joe Kelly (R) 75
18) 2B Chase Utley (L) 77
19) SP Bud Norris (R) 74
20) C Tyler Flowers (R) 73
21) RP Fernando Rodney (R) 79
22) LF Tyler Collins (L) 71
23) SP Logan Verrett (R) 74
24) CF Brandon Nimo (L) 68/A/23yr
25) 2B Ryan Flaherty (L) 70
26) SS Andres Blanco (S) 70
27) SP Blake Snell (L) 71/A/23yr
28) SP Braden Shipley (R) 69/A/24yr
29) SP Chad Green (R) 68/B/24yr
30) C Chance Cisco (L) 62/B/21yr
31) LF Tyler Austin (R) 68/A/24yr
32) 2B Mark Reynolds (R) 67/B/24yr
33) 3B Matt Chapman (R) 64/B/23yr
34) RP Matt Bowman (R) 66/B/24yr
35) RP Evan Marshall (R) 69

The computer didn't let me down, as it wound up drafting a few solid prospects to go along with the group I had already assembled. Heres what we got from the CPU

RP Johnny Barbato (R) 65/B/23yr
SP Jose Martinez (R) 58/B/21yr
RP Jonathan Holder (R) 57/B/23yr *Position switched to CP
C Chris Betts (L) 55/B/19yr
RP Jason Hursh (R) 53/B/24yr
CF Champ Stuart (R) 53/B/23yr

Heres how the 25 man roster shook out to open the season, as well as projected lineup. The lineup will look the same mostly, except Andres Blanco will play second against lefties.

Man.... that is... a rough team. Good luck with the team though! You'll have to fight off the regression bug a bit and hope your team doesn't circle the drain.

There will certainly be regression 😪 Hah. Overall I am pretty happy, I like my 3-5 hitters, Hendricks & Bauer if healthy should do well, and Britton/Kimbrell are a formidable duo at the end of games. I tried to draft some guys like nimo, Austin, snell & Shipley that would be able to step in if need be due to the injury bug / regression.

We shall see, should be fun though.

Re: Official MLB The Show 16 Fantasy Draft Franchise Progress Thread

Opening Day

The Dodgers were victorious on the road to open the season against their division rival, the San Diego Padres. Two runs would be all the Dodgers needed to take the opener in front of a sell out crowd.

"Trust the process...This team wasn't built on superstars. This team was built to be just that, a team. Timely hitting, good defense, and a lock down bullpen. If we just focus on playing OUR brand of baseball, we can be something special." - Said GM Joe Smith after the game.

The Dodgers don't look like a team that is going to put up tons of runs. What they do look like, is a team that is dangerous with a lead going into the late innings. With two on and two outs in the 7th, the Dodgers were able to push across 2 runs, thanks to some clutch pintch hitting, and Franklin Guiterrez. *Trevor Story recorded his first hit of his career in the second inning, a double off of Padres starter Lance McCullers.

Bryan Shaw came out to start the seventh, before giving the ball to Zach Britton, and then Craig Kimbrell. The trio was more than impressive, striking out 6 and allowing zero hits. Craig Kimbrell struck out the side in route to his first save of the season.

**The Padres look like they may be trouble, with a lineup that features Michael Brantley, Francisco Lindor, Mike Trout & Joe Panik**
Next Up
The Dodgers play 2 more in San Diego before heading north to San Francisco to close out the 7 game road trip to open the season. The pitching matchup's for the remainder of the series are as follows:

Game 2: Rich Hill (L) vs Chris Tillman (R)
Game 3: Trevor Bauer (R) vs Mike Leake (R)

Re: Official MLB The Show 16 Fantasy Draft Franchise Progress Thread

Series Sweep

The Dodgers bats led the way, scoring 5 runs in the 7th inning of Game 2 of the series, en route to a 7-3 victory.

In the series finale, Trevor Bauer was outstanding, going 6 scoreless innings and allowing 3 hits while striking out 8. Shaw-Britton-Kimbrell is looking like something that will be quite frequent during the season, as the 3 escaped a 1 out bases loaded jam and struck out 5 over 3 innings.

Giants Preview

The Dodgers will arrive in San Francisco atop the division, to face their biggest rival. The Giants are tied for 2nd with a 2-1 record on the season. Charlie Blackmon, Stephen Piscotty, Brian McCann & Dustin Pedroia lead the attack for the Giants offense. Heres a look at the pitching matchups for this 4 game series.

Game 1: Scott Kazmir (L) vs Taylor Jungmann (R)
Game 2: Bud Norris (R) vs Dylan Bundy (R)
Game 3: Kyle Hendricks (R) 1-0 0.00 vs Madison Bumgarner (L) 0-1 7.20
Game 4: Rich Hill (L) 0-0 3.00 vs Rick Porcello (R) 0-0 1.50

Re: Official MLB The Show 16 Fantasy Draft Franchise Progress Thread

7-0

The dodgers have given themselves A nice cushion to start the season, winning 7 in a row on the road. On top of that, those victories were against 2 division rivals.

The rotation has looked strong, minus Bud Norris getting shelled in his first start of the season. The bullpen - has been lights out, and it's looking like the starters will have the luxury of needing to only pitch 6 innings.

Offensively, the dodgers have been doing "enough" to get the job done. A big problem however, has been a tendency to leave runners in scoring position. Corey Dickersons early season struggles have been a big part of that.

The dodgers have a day off, before their home opener.

**J_smith2190** · 01-10-2017, 04:31 AM

Re: Official MLB The Show 16 Fantasy Draft Franchise Progress Thread

10-1

The dodgers are rolling right along. Having won 10 out of 11 against the division to open the season, against NL West teams, a cushion is being built. 2 more games until a much needed day off.

Pros

Pitching Kyle Hendricks is 3-0 with 2 CG SO. Craig Kimbrell has 5 saves, and Zach Britton, Joe Kelly and the rest of the bull pen has been lights out.

Offense Todd Frazier is batting over .340 with 5 hr and 14 hr to go along with 6 steals. Trevor Story is performing well in the 5 hole with 3 hr and 6 RBI.

Bench Andres Blanco is hitting close to .750 while splitting 2nd base with chase utley. The rest of the bench has continued to produce whenever called upon.

Cons

Pitching Bud Norris has been shelled in both starts. With the bullpen and the rest of the rotation performing well, it's not a big issue, although Norris will at least need to start logging 5 innings to hold onto his spot in the rotation.

Offense Corey Dickerson has 2 hr and 4 rbis. What he also has is a .210 batting average. Resting Dickerson against tough lefties haven't helped. Hopefully Dickerson will snap out of his slump soon

End Of April

The Dodgers closed out April with a win against the Padres. May begins with 1 game against the Padres to close out the series, before a 5 game series against American League teams.

The Dodgers are sitting pretty in the division, in first place with the best record in baseball at the moment, 19-6. April was kind to the Dodgers, as they were able to go 14-4 against division opponents.

Lets see how the team has performed over the course of the first month of the season:

Heres a look at who would make October, if the playoffs began today:
AL East Orioles 17-8

AL Wildcard 1 Red Sox

[CENTERPros[/CENTER]

Rotation
Both of our native Californian's, Kyle Hendricks and Trevor Bauer, have pitched lights out. Bauer looks to be an Ace in the making, as Hendricks has shown some Maddux like flashes early on. #2 starter Scott Kazmir has had his ups and downs, but looks just fine so long as he can stay healthy.

Bullpen
The bullpen has been flat out dominate!!! Nothing else to say at the moment, no "Cons" for the pen.

Offense
Our 3-5 hitters are clearly a big part of the team, as no one else has done much aside from Shane Victornino. Overall, The Dodgers offense has been clicking so far.

Bench
No complaints on the bench, as Andres Blanco & Co. have performed well every time they have been called upon. No "Cons" for the bench.

Cons

Roation
Rich Hill is quickly becoming a concern, as the 6th inning has been his downfall every game. This can be mitigated by using Joe Kelly for a few innings to bridge the gap to the late innings, as Kelly has been lights out of the pen. Bud Norris is another source of concern, but has at least proved to be serviceable in the 5th slot in the rotation. It is doubtful that either one of these guys make it the entire season on the big league roster.

Offense
Clint Robinson has shown why he has been a role player throughout his career. Unfortunately, the Dodgers have little to no depth at 1st base. Elsewhere, It is looking more and more that a platoon of Guiterrez/Victorino will be more likely sometime in Mid-June / Early-July. This will hinge on Brandon Nimmo showing he can hit at AAA until that point.

Re: Official MLB The Show 16 Fantasy Draft Franchise Progress Thread

The Matheny Manifesto is early in Year 2 but on hold for one week. I am now in the post season with my 1987 Yankees franchise which is in year 2. Going to motor through that over the next week then have it ready to transfer to The Show 17 for year 3.

Will get right back into April of Year 2 with my Fantasy Cardianls (really love this team and felt so incredible to finally win a World Series on any version of The Show).

Harper is ice cold but he will turn it around very soon. We have lost by 1 run in 3 of our 4 losses and by two runs in the other. We must get the bats going.

Re: Official MLB The Show 16 Fantasy Draft Franchise Progress Thread

The month of May has been played today...

I in game simulated all games, and just manually pinch hit / pitched the 6th-9th innings.

Draft is complete, and a trade is in the works. Update to follow - and back to playing all of the games. This pitching staff sure is working wonders!

]Dodgers Enter June On Top Of The World

The Dodgers enter the month of June with the best record in baseball, at 39-16. It hasn't been easy, and there is some cause for concern. There are obvious holes in the lineup, and the rotation could use some shoring up going forward.

The Dodgers are extremely pleased with the players they selected in the First Year Player Draft - and a breakdown of round / player picked will be posted. Also, look for a minor league player update, as well as the usual monthly stats as well as division / award leaders.

First Year Player Draft

Round 1: C - Phillip Espinoza (R) Espinoza is considered fairly advanced for his age, at just 18 years old. The young Puerto Rican backstop has been praised for his work behind the plate, and projects to have an above average bat with a little bit of work. (70 Overall / 84 Potential)

Supplemental Round: 2B - Evan Rankin (R) The Dodgers were glad to see Rankin available in the supplemental round. The 22 year old bats from the right side, and has high grades in his plate discipline. The Dodgers brain trust believes Rankin can crack the Major League roster next spring, and may end up replacing Chase Utley long term. (73 Overall / 76 Potential)

Round 2: SP - Jesus Castro (R) Castro may be the steal of the draft. At 18 years old, Castro has 3 plus pitches in a 4 seamer, slider and circle change. Scouts rave about his potential, and the words 'future ace' have been thrown around. Castro's presence in the organization may open up the door for a trade of one of the Dodgers right handed prospects this year. (68 Overall / 92 Potential)

Round 3: SP - Gregory Acevedo (L) The 22 year old Californian gives addage to the phrase 'the rich get richer'. Acevedo boasts a 5 pitch arsenal to include a 4 Seam, Change, Slider, Split, and running fast ball. Acevedo projects as a mid rotation starter, with #2 upside. (69 Overall / 84 Potential)

Round 4: 1B - Brandon Jowers (L) The Dodgers continued to hit on their picks with Jowers. The 18 year old Californian is raw, but provides plenty of upside at a position of need. Don't look for Jowers to make an impact for a few years. (39 Overall / 81 Potential)

Round 5: RP - Victor Villa (L) The Dominican born lefty has been said to be almost MLB ready. A 4 seamer, slider, curve and sinker coupled with Villa's ability to pitch multiple innings made him an easy pick at this stage of the draft. (Overall 63 / 80 Potential)

Round 6: RP - Antonio Dominguez (R) Dominguez was a good value pick at the end of the draft. A hard thrower, with 4 pitches, Dominguez will need a little time to develop. (56 Overall / 73 Potential)

*Overall, the Dodgers brain trust are more than pleased with the results of the draft. All major needs were met, and the team feels as though they struck gold with almost all of their picks.

If The Season Ended Today

These are the teams that would be in the playoffs.
AL East Orioles 33-22
AL Central Tigers 31-22
AL West Rangers 31-23
AL Wildcard 1 Red Sox 32-23
AL Wildcard 2 Athletics 30-24

NL East Phillies 28-26
NL Central Cubs 30-24
NL West Dodgers 39-16
NL Wildcard 1 Pirates 30-25
NL Wildcard 2 Brewers 29-26

Pros & Cons

Pros

Rotation Kyle Hendricks & Trevor Bauer continue to be a dominate force in the rotation. Scott Kazmir has shown an ability to not give free passes, but has allowed a high batting average against him. Bud Norris has come around, and performed well enough to be secure in the 5th slot in the rotation.

Bullpen The bullpen continues its dominance, led by Joe Kelly, Zach Britton, and Craig Kimbrell. No cons for the pen for yet another month.

Lineup Shane Victorino, Chase Utley & Nick Hundley have shown no signs of aging. Corey Dickerson has come around after a slow start to the season, and looks to be locked in at the plate.

Bench The bench has continued to perform when called upon. No cons for a 2nd month in a row.

Cons

Rotation Rich Hill has been an utter disappointment. There are rumors that the Dodgers are looking to send him packing, but he will have to perform much better if they look to get anything in return for him.

Lineup Todd Frazier & Trevor Story are both struggling mightily at the plate. Rumors have even circulated that the Dodgers may be open to trading their young short stop if the right deal presented itself.

Re: Official MLB The Show 16 Fantasy Draft Franchise Progress Thread

MAJOR TRADE

The Dodgers swung a trade that sent ripples through the majors. SP Rich Hill, CF Franklin Gutierrez, and SP Chad Green were sent to the Astros in return for CF Adam Jones.

The Astros, sitting near the bottom of the NL west will slot Hill into their rotation behind Chris Archer. Gutierrez, who was quietly having a nice season will bat 2nd for the stros. Green becomes the Astros 2nd best pitching prospect. If nothing else, the Astros got 2 veterans that are on expiring deals that they may be able to flip at the trade deadline.

For the Dodgers, Adam Jones will start in center and bat lead off. Jones is controlled through 2017, which will allow the Dodgers to bring along Brandon Nimmo slower. If Victorino struggles or goes down with an injury, look for Nimmo to slot in at right field. Long term, Jones will bring some stability to a roster that was going to have 2 out of its 3 starting outfielders test the free agent market at the end of the season.

*The strong draft allowed the dodgers to throw Chad Green into the trade. Top pitching prospect Blake Snell, has been promoted to the majors and will slot in the 4th slot in the rotation. The dodgers are hoping for big things out of Snell.

**Adam Jones was spectacular in his debut at Dodger Stadium! 3-3 with 2 hr, 2rbi, 3 runs and 2 walks
