Holy **** that is cool. I remember his Marlin days well. Had back issues though that derailed his career.

I am drafting that new 30 team control franchise this summer. I figure late July. I am down to deciding between The Rockies and The Diamondbacks.

I am actually going to motor through Year Two of the Matheny Manifesto using this pattern:

Play all games vs divisional opponents.

Play first game of every series outside of division rivals sim the rest.

That will get me through the season faster. I expect to challenge for my second straight World Series title.

I will give a All-Star break update when I get there with player stats, and standings.

Yeah, he is still a very strong power bat...I like to set him up as a platoon DH for the 30 team drafts I do.

I also liked using the immortal Nate McClouth from those early osfm rosters. In fact, I am really thinking about sticking with the 1.5 roster because of the fun factor of using some of those guys.

I've noticed Alex Liddi seems to be a beast from those rosters, and he's not 4,000 years old either.

Re: Official MLB The Show 17 Fantasy Draft Franchise Progress Thread

I couldn't resist getting to the post season! I quick managed the rest of September, here's the end result:

Yankees Win The Division

The Yankees clinched the Division, but they didn't do so without a scare. The rotation struggled mightily in September, as the Yanks were only able to win 11 games. But, they managed to hold on and will be taking on Seattle in the first round of the playoffs. Due to the horrid starting pitching, the plan is to rely heavily on Stroman & Matz, while Iwakuma, Stephenson & Montgomery will form to be the 3rd starter in the playoffs. Heres a look at the Yankees stats to end the season:

Oh Joe Panik seems to have earned himself a contract extension. There's gonna be a lot of question marks this offseason regardless of how the post season plays out. Willingham is 350 years old, the Iwakuma & Colon are FA and unlikely to be brought back, the rotation is a mess aside from Stroman & Matz, Morneau is ancient, 3b could be improved. Lots of moving parts. I also made myself into a prospect as a utility player. Expect some big moves!

Re: Official MLB The Show 17 Fantasy Draft Franchise Progress Thread

Hey guys,

I finally had enough free time to start my draft today, and I could use your input. I went hitter heavy, since I typically have a harder time hitting than throwing in MLB The Show. I'm now in Round 14 and with my line-up completely filled (can't wait to post my draft recap !), I'm looking to add a #3 in my rotation.

Looking through what's available at this point, I'm debating between Patrick Corbin, Trevor Bauer and Matt Moore. I could use a lefty, but I'm a bit worried about Corbin and Moore durability.

Who would you go with ?
Any other names I should look for ?

Using OSFM 2.6, so available pitchers are around 77 overall and under.

I've had success with Francisco Liriano and Robbie Ray who are usually still available around then.

Re: Official MLB The Show 17 Fantasy Draft Franchise Progress Thread

Corbin is really good in this game, I've thought of even using him in an Andrew Miller type role myself.

**KomicJ** · 05-27-2017, 01:37 PM

Re: Official MLB The Show 17 Fantasy Draft Franchise Progress Thread

Finally been able to complete my draft (took 3-days !)

So happy with the result though ! All drafted, but two trades right after the draft:

Minnesota traded (3B) Nick Castellanos to Kansas City in return of (RF) Stephen Piscotty.
Minnesota traded (RP) Dellin Betances to St.Louis in return of (CP) Roberto Osuna.

Ladies and Gentlemen...your Minnesota Twins !

Re: Official MLB The Show 17 Fantasy Draft Franchise Progress Thread

Made In Miami

The 2017 Marlins have a whole new look. The group led by Derek Jeter has successfully won the bidding war for the franchise, and have successfully taken control of the team. With a new ownership group, usually means new lots of things.

Jeter has retained Donnie Baseball as the manager of his new team, although things were shook up with a league wide draft. The Marlins had the 14th Overall pick, and went about constructing this team a little different than expected. The first selection for Miami was Florida native - CP Wade Davis. Heres a look at your Miami Marlins opening day roster.

Roster Construction

The Marlins went into the draft focusing on the bullpen, & came out with arguably the most domanite pen in the game. Couple that with an Outfield full of professional hitters, and basically 4 center fielders, the Marlins like their chances. Ian Kinsler & Stephen Drew should combine to prevent a lot of runs and form a potent double play combo.

On the prospect side of things, the Marlins drafted with the future in mind. Ian Happ & Austin Meadows are near MLB ready, and look primed to step up in 2018 with Ian Kinsler and McCuthen both playing out the final year of their contracts.

The Marlins have 2 absolute stud pitchers in the minors in Anderson & Hader. This was an important part of the draft strategy with 3/5 of the rotation signed to 1 year deals with FA impending.

Made In Miami

The 2017 Marlins have a whole new look. The group led by Derek Jeter has successfully won the bidding war for the franchise, and have successfully taken control of the team. With a new ownership group, usually means new lots of things.

Jeter has retained Donnie Baseball as the manager of his new team, although things were shook up with a league wide draft. The Marlins had the 14th Overall pick, and went about constructing this team a little different than expected. The first selection for Miami was Florida native - CP Wade Davis. Heres a look at your Miami Marlins opening day roster.

**Thoughts?**

I really love that veteran outfield. Jones, Cutch and Gardy.....all hustle players.

Bullpen is stout, Greg Bird is a great upside bomber at 1B. Kinsler is a gamer.

Solid prospects to build on too.

Nice draft and great storylines await you!
