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

Gray went 8 innings allowing 7H 1R 8K. An 8th inning hr by Frazier was enough to win it as Casilla came in and took care of the ninth. Final score 2-1.

Next up
4 games at coors field
Bronson Arroyo (0-1 11.25) vs Kershaw (4-1 3.19)
Garrett Richards (7-2 2.38) vs Zimmerman (3-6 3.65)
Jake Peavy (7-0 2.25) vs Kluber (3-3 3.28)
Jake Thompson (1-0 3.86) vs Taylor Jungmann (5-4 3.92)

Reds Record 36-15
Rockies Record 28-22

I will be posting the monthly update after the first two games. In it I'll just inform of a W or L in the first two.

Game 13:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mT6uUJGu3Tc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Raisel Iglesias pitched well again to earn his third win of the year and improve upon to 3-0. Hanley homered in the first, and then hit an RBI single later in the game to secure the win. Joe Panik had a two run RBI double and increased his hitting streak to 11 games. He's hitting .326 and has been the rock at the top of the lineup. It was good to see Dayan Viciedo have a four hit game today and he raised his average up to .282. Blaine Hardy made his first appearance after starting the year on the DL and came up huge late in the game with two runners on and no out. They bunted their runners over to second and third and then struck Billy Hamilton looking and got Howie Kendrick swinging on a curveball. Hopefully it will be a sign of things to come.

Next Game:
Jeremy Hellickson vs. Robbie Ray

Thats what I got out of the draft, heres what I learned when I went to sign them....
SP Mitchell: 67 Overall (78 Potential) <-Possible Longman next year
C Erwin: 63 Overall (88 Potential) <-67powR/56powL, secondary positions LF/RF. Possible Kyle Schwarber-type?
SP Darnell: 62 Overall (86 Potential) <-5 Pitches, 89 velo
2B Palacios: 73 Overall (70 Potential) 71conR/68conL...may be useful
3B Whitney: 63 Overall (61 Potential) <- Powerful/durable. Most likely career ML or traded down the road to an AL team
RP Holden: 66 Overall (70 Potential) <- 64 stamina, very low velocity. Gonna be a project but could be something.
RP Olivo: 58 Overall (76 Potential) <- 94 velo, decent control, left handed.

** At first looking at these guys I was kinda bummed I didn't draft any A prospects. But looking deeper into there skill sets and what can be worked on, I am actually pretty pleased. This is the first year I have ever manually drafted / scouted, and also the first year I plan on continuing a franchise for more than one year. That being said, Utley will hopefully be retiring, and some guys leaving in FA, especially relievers so I feel good about what I do have.

Feel free to chime in on how you think my picks went.

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

Getting ready for my draft, still organizing my big board...I have it pretty much all set, except a couple of dilemmas. So if you feel like giving me your input, lets play a quick game of who would you rather...

Who would you rather build your rotation around: Gerrit Cole or Noah Syndergaard ?

Who would you rather have at shortstop: Francisco Lindor, Andrelton Simmons or Corey Seager ?

Who would you rather have as a closer: Sean Doolittle or Ken Giles ?

Who would you rather have at center field: Jackie Bradley Jr or Randal Grichuk ?

Thanks.

Snyderguard (aside from youth & awesomeness, he's the best hitting pitcher I've faced)

Seager (don't draft Simmons, to highly rated w/ no offense. Best of both worlds would be lindor)

Giles - youth

Grichuk- I've played with him before, never played with Bradley.

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

S1G3: Giants beat the Brewers, 8-0, in a 1 hit gem!

We improved to 2-1, and Mat Latos threw a 1 hit complete game shutout. Schwarber hit 2 bombs, as did Hosmer. Felt good to break out the long balls after a frustrating game 2.

Gonna download Armors sliders and move onto game 4!

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

I was hoping to get your take on my draft strategy. Once you do enough fantasy drafts, you sort of get an idea of where players are going to get selected and what players might fall or what not and it seems that it's too easy to build a team that is really young and that have great potential or just load up on A or B prospects. So, as a way to make it a bit tougher for me as a house rule, I press square and the CPU recommends a player for me to take. That way, it limits me to the mind of the computer and doesn't allow your team to be a superstar team of youth and talent.

My reasoning is because the CPU only drafts based off of overall, not potential. If a player is 88 OVR and 98 POT, they'll wait until the 3rd round. That's just not realistic. I challenge you to try my way and see how your team ends up, even if you just draft and scrap the team immediately. That's how I was able to choose my team.

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

That seems pretty reasonable. I personally don't like the idea of not picking who I want to pick. For my draft I tried to do my fantasy draft and make it more like a "real" team. I did the entire 90 rds, and didn't stock up on A rated prospects when I could have at positions I had already covered. Ex: (Trevor story was my SS, I did not draft Swanson/Bregman). Instead I tried to draft a lot of C rated fringe guys, mid level B prospects and some veterans to help out on the farm.

I can see a problem as to you not being able to build your team a certain way letting the cpu. Like if you like power pitchers, or defensive wizzards?

I am not disagreeing with your method, just trying to make sense of how I normally draft. I will do your draft method tomorrow though just to see.

As someone who always do a lot of Fantasy draft during the season, I get where you're coming from. Though I probably wouldn't do it like that, as the CPU seems to only suggest position when pressing square, not the player himself. It'll always be the first on the list, so chances are you'll end-up with a farm team full of 35+ years old if you do it like that.

Why not sim the entire draft, and deal with the selections the CPU have made for you ? That way, you'll at least get a few young players to develop.

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

So do all A.I. Teams have only 2 bench players when doing fantasy drafts with 1 team control? If so that really sucks.

I'll counterpoint to you. Yes, while it does choose a position that may have a 35-year old as the top player, they ARE NOT actually recommending them. Most likely, the player that they are actually recommending is one below that that has an OVR equal to the highest of the other positions. So if you're later in the draft where David Ortiz is still on the board at 85 OVR and it recommends that, they aren't recommending Ortiz, they're recommending the 78 OVR 1B that's next under him as that's the highest OVR of "Young" players across the board.

A lot will. Usually one per division is normal. It's a cpu issue that has been around since atleast last year. After you finish the first year, the AI will have a normal team.

Yeah I agree. My compromise is draft X rounds then sim.

I think for this team, I did like 30-40 rounds, enough to get my likely starting 25 (or guys who'd compete for it) and some prospects and some depth guys. Then take my chances.

Honestly, the CPU drafted some prospects for me. It's why I'm loaded on CF prospects with this team...the CPU picked like 4 CF prospects, B or better, after I simmed. I was like WTF

alright. thats good to know.. i guess one out of every division isnt too bad. im guessing most people just deal with it or do 30 team control?
