Re: MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread

I figured Cust wasn't the best trade piece, but I was hoping two A prospects would even it out.

Toronto wants Chone Figgins and they are willing to give up Adam Lind. Good deal? Maybe try for Aaron Hill?

I would def do figgins for lind

Even though Figgins is batting a .302 and I have no backup at third?

Lind is a wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better player then figgins....U can DH lind and trade cust for a halfway decent 3b...or u can bring up alex liddi from triple-A whose one of their better position prospects

Trade done! First game, Lind triples off the wall in Detroit and gets driven in my Jason Kubel. My two deals are working out well. Thanks for the help.

Re: MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread

By the way update on mine is I traded away Ichiro and Figgins in seasons 1 and 2 and have aquired some very good prosepects. Thought the 5 draft would hurt me just beacause i didnt have enough room for everyone but the teams apperently didnt want my A Pot "Future All Star" SS. end of season 2 and we are in last but next year is looking good. Gonna have to worry about Giving the King the money soon cause his contract is gonna be up. Which reminds me does anyone wanna donate to the Seatlle Mariners Franchise Fund to actually achieve a winning record on my ps3 just contact me

How about some of that for my twins franchise so I can resign prince fielder in the offseason... I had to get rid of a top 18 yo a potential prospect in miguel sano and justin morneau.

Game 3 of the ALDS against the Rays I'm up 2 games to none using the Tribe. 5th inning I'm up 10-2 well on my way to winning the game and series to advance to the ALCS. But then I get the bug where you hit a ball off of the pitchers mound and the batter will not step in the batters box so I have to restart the game and my Offense is not the same. 4-4 in the 7th inning and Bautista hits a 2 run homer to put me up 6-4. I manage to win the game and get the save with Perez and now I will face the red sox in the ALCS. I must say I really kicked the Rays Butts

I'm a big Reds fan so I say go with them. Plus I'm about 45 games in on my Reds Franchise and I think I'm like 30-15. I just ran off 10 straight before losing 2 in a row now. I think the Marlins would be fun if that stadium didn't suck!

The Reds won the Central last year, so they would be immediately disqualified for my use. The Marlins don't excite me and their ballpark is unappealing.

I've been using the Nationals this season and have a blast with them thus far - young team, good hitting (power) and so-so pitching. I'm looking forward to building a competitive team for a few years. And I really enjoy playing at Nationals Park - although I have a better record on the road.

Re: MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread

I just finished a series against my brother he took 2 of 3. We're both 7-5 tied for the division lead. Joe Mauer for me almost had 3 homers in game 2. He hit 1 over the right field wall. Then he hit 1 to the center field wall w/ the wind blowing 14mph in toward home, and the other one missed the right field foul poll by half an inch a split sec. to early. He won the 1st game 7-1, he won the 2nd game 5-1 and I won the 3rd game 5-3. In the 3rd game all of my bench players except 1 Steve Hill (catcher) Here was my lineup in the 3rd game:

1st Julio Borbon
2nd Danny Espinosa
3rd Joe Mauer
4th Adam Dunn
5th Matt Joyce
6th Rocco Baldelli
7th Hilario Peralta
8th Brent Morel
9th Matt Garza
will post after next seriesvs d-backs

Re: MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread

Finished the season clinching the Wild Card, facing the Cardinals in the NLDS and beat them 6-4 in game one thanks to 3 HRs from Dan Johnson.

Clay Bucholz won the Cy Young, going 22-5 with a 2.82 ERA with 173 Ks. Not sure if I will keep Stubbs unless he becomes a postseason hero, he did hit 38 HRs regular season but batted .233. I want to try and sign Prince Fielder so I could use all the salary space letting go high contracts/ low results.
