Re: Most difficult teams to rebuild in MLB 16?

When you rebuild these teams I assume you sim most of the games? What is your strategy for scouting and drafting?

I always like to play every game but it never works out so I end up simming some. I let the CPU Scout as I don't understand it and I usually draft based on who's report is most accurate and who's ETA is closest.

The Angels is another very hard team to rebuild. Apart of Trout and an aging Pujols, there isn't talent in their roster. The farm system is extremely poor and they have a lot of money guaranteed to guys like C.J Wilson and Weaver, whose ratings are below 80 (as far as I can remember).

A's is another great example.

Toughest rebuild is pretty easily San Diego. Maybe the Mariners as the second best option.

Except both of those players you just mentioned are FA's in the offseason.

The big league squad is squat, & while the previous five years their minors have been too
(Bottom third in farm rankings each year, according to Baseball America),
this year they have made great strides in their farm system, climbing all the way into the Top Ten.

Reds and Padres easily. They are both in really bad positions and really have little talent. Padres have been bad for years too.

The Braves no doubt will be a challenge for the first couple of years but they have a big bright shining light at the end of the tunnel. The Padres will be somewhat easier for their first couple of seasons but when you look down their tunnel there is a dimly lit candle in high wind.

I don't know what you mean by San Diego being 'easier for their first couple of seasons'. Firstly, Cashner, Ross and Ramirez are in the last year of their contracts. So you should be trading them season 1 (They are pretty much your only Major League trade chips anyway. Sure you could argue Norris, Myers, Shields but you're looking at C POT, mid 70's OVR and old respectively). Second you're in a stacked division with LA, SF, and kinda AZ. So good luck winning that division.

Probably the Cubs....

Just kidding, obviously. Padres are definitely one of the worst. Another one that's kinda of bad is the Orioles. Davis and Jones have value, but their farm system has nothing in it to trade for or from. Unless the user is willing to trade Machado.

And be stoned in the streets by the virtual fan base.

Re: Most difficult teams to rebuild in MLB 16?

I would say the Red, Brewers and Padres are toughest.

yup, braves have a pretty deep looking minor league system so eventually they will come into their own, sure move a few pieces here and there but you just have to wait a few seasons it looks like.

Re: Most difficult teams to rebuild in MLB 16?

Depends on the rosters you use. The community one with full minor leagues always over values "prospects" so a Brave rebuild should be pretty easy. You just have to wait for the pitching to arrive. And they're not so bad in the infield either with Albies and Swanson knocking on the door. Just draft an outfielder close to the majors early in the next two drafts and you have a Cub situation on your hands where the next 10 years are set.
