Second series in a row dropped

Things have gone from bad to worse for Ross Stripling, as he gave up 3 runs in 3 innings, before leaving with an injury and another loss on his record.

Stripling sprained a ligament in his plant knee, and looks to be out of action for at least a month. Nate Karns will slide into the 5th spot in the rotation, as Trevor Cahil was called up from AAA and will look to provide long relief.

The Phillies will look to rebound against the 9-16 cardinals. The Cards enter the series on a 4 game losing streak.

My Rockies franchise got deleted so I made a new one with the brewers here's my lineup

RF Adam Eaton
Cf AJ Pollock
SS Corey Seager
2B Brian Dozier
1B Joe Mauer
LF Joc Peterson
3B Jose Ramirez
C JT Realmuto
---PITCHER---

BENCH
SS Marwin Gonzalez
C Christian Bethancourt
1B Josh Bell
RF Ichiro
LF Brandon Guyer

ROTATION
Jose Quintana
Danny Duffy
Lance Lynn
Jon Gray
Justin Nicolino

BULLPEN
Michael Feliz
Jeremy Jeffress
Kyle Barracloigh
Robbie Ross
Dellin Betances
Brad Ziegler
Andrew Miller

This is a pretty balanced team all the way through should compete. I am 4-1 through 5 games with Adam Eaton struggling. My rotation is solid. Lance Lynn took a no no into the 9th and then we lost that game.

Fighting For A Win

The phillies continue to slide, winning only 3 of their last 10 ball games, and dropping 3 series in a row. We've fallen into second place in the division. A three game weekend series vs the 3rd place Marlins will culminate with a much needed day off. Here's how the series will look:

GM 1: Nate Karns (0-0 1.29) vs Chris Heston (2-2 4.82)
GM 2: Zach Greinkie (3-2 2.38) vs Dylan Bundy (3-2 4.30)
GM 3: Cole Hammels (2-3 3.43) vs Madison Bumgarner (4-1 2.77)

Marlins Lineup
LF Brett Gardner (L)
RF Jason Heyward (L)
1B Lucas Duda (L)
SS Francisco Lindor (S)
2B Dustin Pedroia (R)
C Francisco Cervelli (R)
3B Eugenia Suarez (R)
CF Kevin Pillar (R)

Series Sweep But Big Loss

The Phillies finally snapped their losing ways, but suffered a major loss of their own. Jonathan Lucroy, who was the Phils hottest hitter over the last 10 days was will be out for 2-3 months.

Not only was Lucroy a key in lengthening the lineup, but he also was credited with much of the pitching staffs success. For the time being, chris Stewart was called up from AAA and will share the catching duties with Jeff Mathis.

Second Month, Second Place

The Phillies enter the month June with a record of 30-22, and wound up losing another series to the first place Nationals. Problems abound for the Phillies over the month of May, as they saw Ross Stripling go down for the month, Jonathan Lucroy for 2-3 Months, and Starlin Castro miss multiple games due to nagging injuries. The MVP of the month has to be Nate Karns, who made 5 starts, and earned 2 victories, while keeping his ERA below 2. Here's a look at the team stats through this stage of the season.

First Year Player Draft

Round 1: SP Charlie Harper (R) The 20 Year Old right hander from Pennsylvania went first overall in the draft. Harper boasts a 5 pitch arsenal, and shouldn't have to wait long before he's ready to throw meaningful innings for his hometown team. (Overall 71 / Potential 88)

Round 2: 3B Ron Hardwick (R) Another 20 year old, Hardwick drew rave reviews for his offensive prowess and durability in Jr. College. Hardwick is going to have to work long and hard at his glove work if he wants to stick at the hot corner. (Overall 71 / Potential 75)

Round 3: CP Kyle Brown (L) The 20 year old lefty has done nothing but make batters swing and miss in his young career. Brown profiles more as a LOOGY than anything else. (Overall 58 / Potential 70)

Round 4: Bobby Palmer (R) The youngest player drafted by the Phillies, Palmer is fresh out of High School. Another product of the Keystone state, Palmer has drawn comparisons to Troy Tulowitzki at the plate. His defense leaves much to be desired. (68 Overall / 75 Potential)

Round 5: C Victor Pena (R) A 20 year old backstop from the Dominican Republic, the Phillies love Pena's potential. Although he is a few years out, Pena brings much needed depth to an organizational weakness. (Overall 59 / Potential 88)

Round 6: 3B Scott Driskill (R) At 22, Driskill has less time to develop than his draft class. An advanced bat should help him, although like fellow 3B Hardwick, Driskill needs a lot of work on his defensive game. (67 Overall / 61 Potential)

Round 7: 1B Manny Garcia (S) Another 22 year old, Garcia brings a big bat and not much else to the table. Garcia may be destined for the American League. (64 Overall / 65 Potential)

May Trades

5/10 A's traded CF Tyler Naquin to the Pirates in exchange for SP Jason Groome.

5/22 Giants traded CF Dayron Varona to the Red Sox in exchange for SP Mike Nikorak.

5/27 Red Sox traded 1B Mike Napoli to the Rays in exchange for RP Arquimedes Caminero.

** Another Injury!! **

Trevor Gott dislocated his shoulder and will be out for 1-2 months. Trevor Cahill was called up from AAA to take his spot on the roster.

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

June 15th

As of June 15th, the Phillies sit 3 games behind the Nats. GM Joe Smith has made some trades fortifying the roster.

** On 6/10 the Phillies acquired 1B Steve Pearce from the rangers in exchange for LF Brandon Guyer, RP Fernando Rodney & SS Luis Sardinas.

** On 6/14 the Phillies acquired SP Kris Medlen from the Mariners in exchange for SP Ross Stripling & CF Joe McCarthy.

The trades address two of the Phillies biggest needs. 1) reliability from the back end of the rotation in medlen and 2) an above average bench bat that can play the corner outfield, 1st & 2nd (the phils big bats mainly.)

** On 6/19 the Phillies signed FA catcher A.J. Pierzinski, due to the offensive struggles of Trevor Brown / Jeff Mathis. A.J. Will serve as the primary catcher until Lucroy returns from the Dl

July 1st

The Phillies begin July atop the NL Wildcard standings, and 4 games behind the Nationals for 1st place in the NL East. Having only won 1 game against the Nats this season, the Wildcard may be the only way into the playoffs for the Phillies. After struggling in June, GM Joe Smith made 3 moves that should improve the roster for the rest of the season.

Jonathan Lucroy has 1 day left on the DL and should be ready to be back in the lineup within the next 7 days. Trevor Gott, should be back in the bullpen after the All-Star break. Heres a look at how the team has performed thus far into the season:

Going Foward

With the pending return of 2 key players, the Phillies team should be lengthened significantly. Trevor Gott will return to the pen, pushing the struggling Jim Johnson back to AAA. Lucroy will assume his starting role, pushing Jeff Mathis down to AAA. This will allow for the Phils to have some potent bench options with Steve Pearce & A.J. Pierzinski. Ryan Flaherty continues to succeed when called upon to spell the left side of the infield, and pinch hit. Jake Smolinski has seen the lions share of 4th OF duties, as Zach Walters has all but been phased out of any regular duties.

On the pitching end of things, Tyler Clippard and Will Smith have been disapointing of late. Both will need to show improvement over the next month, to avoid losing their set up roles.

League Activity

Having already gone over the Phillies transactions for the month of June, lets take a look around the league to see who else made moves.

* 6/15 Mariners acquire SP Nathan Kirby from the Reds in exchange for C Carson Kelly.

* 6/24 Mariners acquire 2B Sean Rodriguez from the Padres in exchange for SP Glenn Sparkman.

* 6/26 Twins acquire RP J.P. Howell from the Reds in exchange for SP Sal Romano.

Going Foward
The Phillies will play 10 games in a row prior to the All-Star Break. The first 6 will be at home against the worst teams in the American and National League: 3 vs the Royals (31-48) and 3 vs the Braves (32-48). The last 4 will be in Colorado (40-38). This will be a good opportunity for the Phils to gain some ground on the best team in baseball!

August 1st

The Phillies enter the final 2 months of the season, with 2 games separating them from the first place Nationals. July started off successful, but only got worse as the Phils lost 5 in a row to close out the month. The injury bug cleared up a little as Lucroy & Gott returned to action, but Starlin Castro & Kirk Nieuwenhuis missed a little bit of time - which was offset by the addition of Steve Pearce.

Zach Grienkie, Adam Jones, & J.J. Hardy were selected to the ASG, with both Jones and Hardy cracking the starting lineup!

July was a busy month for GM's across the league, as there was quite a bit of wheeling and dealing. We will get to that shortly, but first is a look at your Phillies team performance entering the home stretch:

Phillies Win The Division!

First-Year GM Joe Smith made some daring (and often questioned) transactions, while guiding the Phillies to the best record in the National League. The most talked about transaction of all would be acquiring RP Francisco Rodriguez (along with 2B Tyler Pastornicky & 2B Travis Wood) from the Marlins in exchange for CF Austin Meadows, RP Jim Johnson, and RP Scott Rice. Meadows was easily the second (on most lists) best prospect in the Phillies system, and viewed as Adam Jones heir-apparent. The trade worked, as the Phil's over took the Nats and made their way to the post season on the strength of a dominating bullpen. Heres a look at the final stats for the Fighting Phils:

1st Round Elimination

Unfortunately for the Phillies (and their fans) they drew the Nationals in the NLDS. After going up 2-0, the Phillies collapsed and were knocked out of the post season by a division foe.

Many questions will need to be answered and addressed going into the post season.

Joe,

I will fire up a brand new Fantasy Draft Thread here for 17. This one was a rousing success for 16. Your updates were always awesome. But promise me you will stick with this team LOL!!!!

I am carrying over The Matheny Manifesto and when OSFM drops I may be tempted to do a brand new draft. In fact I will. Marlins, Joe Robbie Stadium, old school Florida Marlins Uni’s!!!

I have enjoyed watching this thread silently, and it has inspired me to also do a fantasy draft in which ill be updating the community of my progress on here. I plan on playing through the first two weeks or so, and then doing a play 1 Sim 5 with critical situations on.

My problem is, I just can't decide on a team to use! Here are my top choices... any thoughts?

Red Sox
Orioles
A's
Mets
Pirates
Dodgers
Giants

For me it comes down to park, parks you will play in often (division rivals) and uniforms you love. Then most importantly, what the city and tradition mean to you.

I chose the St Louis Cardinals on MLB 16 for many reasons that I will list below:

1) The Matheny Manifesto - I am a huge fan of Mike Matheny. His days as a hard nosed catcher, and philosophy on coaching youth baseball was a huge inspiration for me personally. I have read this book 4 times front to back. One of the best baseball books about coaching kids and how to approach it that I ever read. If more parents read this book and followed his Manifesto (on how to support you kid in whatever sport he or she plays) then youth sports in general would be in a far better place. So this is where I got the title for my Fantasy Cardinals franchise.

2) I love the NL Central ball parks. Wrigley, PNC, Busch, Great American Ball Park, and Miller Park just a lot of baseball majesty with those parks. I love them. And playing in them half the time makes for a great baseball experience.

3) The City of St Louis - I love it. One of the most friendliest cities in the country and they also have excellent and knowledgeable baseball fans. It is a pleasure to travel there for business and also take in a Cardinals game. They have a rich history and tradition as well.

So think about factors like that, and you will get really invested in whatever team and city you choose to build your team top to bottom in your draft.

I think A&S's answer pretty much summed it up. Just one more point to touch on is which style of play do you prefer, the AL DH version or the NL style where you need to make some important decisions in the later innings with your subs. I have been a Yankee fan my whole life and always loved the DH, but I actually have come to love NL gameplay when playing the show the last few years.

I personally am choosing to do a Braves Fantasy Franchise when I get the game so I get to play that NL style of play and play in a new stadium.
