Padres. Padres. Padres. They are right there all they need are some more good pitching and in a few years once their minors leaguers develop you have yourself a contender.

Re: Need a a team to rebuild

let me take a moment & give the Caulfield Official Seal of Endorsement to Oakland Coliseum.
the difference between the Show's Coliseum & IRL Crapiseum is night and day.
I alternate between Seattle & the Athletics as my go-to-AL-West team & I can truly appreciate what an amazing job SDS does with the little bit of lipstick it puts on that Alameda hog.

but I also stand by my original post in picking the White Sox.

Re: Need a a team to rebuild

Im running a 40 team franchise and i focus on 12 teams personally. 2 from each division. TO/NYY, DET/KC, OAK/SEA, ATL/MIA, CHC/CN, AZ/SD.

Im having a blast. Most are rebuilding team. 2 contenders and rest are "re-tooling". Couple teams I play the most are: Toronto, Oakland, Seattle, Miami, Reds and SD.

Toronto is fun because you have 3/4 of the infield locked down when you start up. Im in 2020 and Bichette is my 2nd baseman, Urena at SS and Vlad at 3rd. Then with the Donaldson trade i made in year 1, i brought in Jack Flaherty and Tyler ONeill who are starting. Still have Sanchez and Stroman in my rotation and Osuna closing. Fun team.

I will agree with everyone that O.Co is pretty awesome in game. Plus the As are like my third favorite team. They are young. But also not far off at the start.

Seattle is my 2nd favorite team irl. So i use them a ton. Trying to play all 162+ this season with them. Again. Ready made.

Reds are fun as well. They have some good pieces to start. I kept Hamilton. I still have Votto (going off of he'll stay a Red his whole career since hes stated he wont waive NTC). The park is gorgeous. They have a few good pieces to build around. Senzel, Hamilton, Votto, Peraza and a few solid prospects coming up.

Padres are blast. I actually love Petco unlike most. Theyre in a weird spot. Not to far off but rebuilding at same time. Hoz, Myers, Renfroe and Margot are the top of the lineup. Add in Galvis at short. Still have Tatis Jr waiting in the wings. A plethora of pitching coming up.

My suggestion would be either Toronto or SD

How about Baltimore?

Re: Need a a team to rebuild

How about Baltimore?

I’m actually in the same boat as OP, but Oakland, Tampa and Baltimore are on my short list. I was the Mariners in my previous franchise but I want to start over with the osfm hybrid roster. I like the pop Oakland has in the lineup and a deeper bench, but Baltimore has Machado, a deep pen and they’re in a more fun division.

I think I’ve spent more time deciding a franchise team than actually playing franchise games 😂

Re: Need a a team to rebuild

I rebuilt Texas Rangers

What I do to make it fair is leave between 80-90% of the current team and add a couple of key stars along side myself as a balanced rookie CAP player in Franchise Mode.

In this case of the Texas Rangers I added Eric Hosmer at 1st and Freddy Freeman at 3rd Base and Marcell Osuna in Left Field as well as myself abalanced rookie CAP player at SS!

Doing this if you use player lock helps the game not constantly rely on your CAP player and always force you to be the hero in big moments! Even if you are batting 8th in the line up.

You will occasionally get those endless ending 20 inning games until your CAP finally gets a hit or tries to get you to score a walk off. But balancing a team out with stars definitely helps a bit but can’t completely fix whats under the hood of a game.

......the Kansas City Royals.

Re: Need a a team to rebuild

Oakland has been a team i’ve played with for years. I’m a Mets fan but I prefer using the A’s in the game. Great uniforms and the stadium doesn’t bother me at all. I actually like that it’s different.

Re: Need a a team to rebuild

so I take it no ones dares rebuild the Cubs?
that's a 162 million dollar budget they're staring at.
surely you can buy a world championship for a fraction of that
even the astros at 141 mill plus some change should do it cheaper.

Re: Need a a team to rebuild

The most fun I've had so far have been the Pirates and Phillies.

For whatever reason, the Show HATES the Indians. In almost all of my franchises, the Indians turn into a dumpster fire after 2-3 seasons. So they might be an option.

Tigers are interesting. Good ballpark, decent farm, but those uniforms, blegh. Except the away jerseys, the away jerseys are incredible. Just wish they carried over the orange to the home jerseys instead of that bland garbage.

White Sox are interesting. Ugly stadium but a fun roster with a decent farm to build up and some nice unis.

I think I'm gonna go with the Giants next and completely tear down that cemetery of a roster.

I would try the Pirates and Phillies though. Phillies have a really fun roster that you can make some moves with. Pirates just have a plain fun roster, Starling Marte is incredibly fun to use.
