I simulated 10 years just for kicks. Cubs won the WS three years in a row. In the 5th season, they were downright scary. They had at 6 guys (Fowler lol yeah, Schwarber, Bryant, Rizzo, Russel, Soler)in the lineup with 30+ homers including Rizzo with over 50. I think that seems a bit too ambitious IRL.

I don't think that Fowler will still be doing that IRL (though through months of my franchise, he's the leading MVP candidate), however its not a crazy thought that they could have many guys hitting 30+ HR in the near future.

Rizzo and Bryant are basically locks, if healthy. Schwarber likely will be once he's healed as well. Heyward could find his power stroke, as everyone always thought that he would early in his career, and he's only 26. Baez has a HUGE amount of power, and I think just needs experience and playing time. Soler is pretty much the same. And even Addison Russell is generally thought to have 20+ HR power once he grows into it.

I have to say these numbers look really encouraging! Progression/regression finally got the best of me in last years game so I hope these numbers remain good with edited rosters.

Thanks for the hard work.

I'm 15 years in, just wanted fresh names and faces. The era's and avg are looking good. There is only one 99, a 2B, in fact just a handful over 95. The oddity I'm finding are a lot of D's and older above 35. I didn't interfere with the leagues at all, everything on auto. In fact I just cleared out the team I took over and down to 64 players, back up to 80 after FA period. There is just not a lot of talent in the league age 25-30, not sure of that's just the way this league went or how the way it is now...
