Hey everyone. So I'm starting a Padres franchise with OSFM, and I want to rebuild. I have never done this before, and everyone is pretty much on the table to be traded/let go. Any thoughts?

Re: MLB The Show 17 Franchise Discussion Thread

david dahl of the colorado rockies hit for the cycle against my last night in Opening Day of my milwaukee brewers franchise -- 4/5, 2B, 3B, HR, 4 R, RBI -- that's the first time i'd ever given up a cycle before.

he homered in the first, doubled in the second, tripled in the fourth, singled in the sixth and popped out in the eighth to end his day.

i'll try to bounce back in game two tonight -- excited to see if i can build off that 8th-inning popout and get him to leave miller park with a little less swagger.

Texas Rnagers Update Sesason 1: MOM

June starts and the Rangers are playing better but so are the Astros. I took 2 of 3 form them recently but got swept in a mini 2 game series to the Mets. I had the deficit down 2 5.5 games but it currently sits at 9.5 games with a record of 27-33 I am on the border line of what to do come July. Do I sell or play for a possible Wild Card. At the end of May while playing the Rays Adrian Beltre hit the 3,000 hit club. Lastly for the first time since spring I have a 100% healthy roster minus mazara who is out another week.

Linup looks like this currently

1. Deshields LF- Hitting 260 ( 14 Steals)
2. Elvis SS- 300 hitter another soloid year
3. Beltre 3B- 330 (The Future first Round HOF rols on)
4. Odor- 2B- 250 (Disappointing year. Up and down produstion)
5. Lucroy -C 260 (Solid Year)
6- Napoli 1B- 230 (Terrible big dissapointment just like real life)
7. Gomez CF 220 ( Terrible, big dissapointment
8. Choo RF 280 ( Great Year
9- Nicholas DH 260 (Suprising)

Pitching especially the bullpen has been dissapointing.

Took a 7-2 thumping at the hands of the Jays in my Rays franchise... Estrada spun a gem and my bullpen was truly abysmal. Back at it tonight after NY Ranger playoffs

A bad bullpen can truly destroy all good feelings. I'm going to invest heavily in my pitching for the Reds. Bullpen help is top priority in 2017.

every pitcher i brought in i cursed... im almost at the point to look in the free agent pool to make some changes. i am also using classic pitching which i like because it makes every pitcher feel different and i am not just looking at a meter

My bullpen is the same way. They all have BAA that is 100 points higher than my starters. Sometimes I'm afraid to bring them in in a close game.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Franchise Discussion Thread

Lost in another swift thrashing 10-2 to the Jays... i wrapped out 11 hits but none of them were timely. Time to shake the lineup up. SMH.... i love and hate this game at the same time lol

Just blew two gems from deGrom and Syndergaard in the 8th inning or later. I brought in Zach Britton at the deadline last year and he has been less than satisfactory. About to make another deadline deal for Trevor Rosenthal. Can never have enough quality bullpen arms...

Really nice job on an overview for us to read. I am soon to be going in to September with the Dbacks in year 1. We are shaping up to having a similar record that you finished with. Also, I traded Pollock, Greinke, and Tomas. Tomas was batting under .200. Also, I noticed he did well for you, but Lamb struggled a bit. Lamb has 35 homeruns for me currently and batting about .260. Crazy how things shake out differently.


Quick question, what do you set your Injuries for? I set my based on the sliders from the other forum and I feel like I have so many injuries.
