    Re: 2012 Franchise Progress Thread

    Started a franchise with the Phillies. So far I only sent a trade to Toronto for Drabek and Morrow for Blanton. See if they will take that deal.

          Being a Marlins fan, I started one with the Marlins to mess around until that roster comes out.

          Signed Derek Lee and traded for Dontrelle Willis and Juan Pierre.

          It's a nice mix of 2003, my favorite Marlins team, and today.

            Just had a sick season opener with the Tribe!!

            Romero made me look foolish for 6 1/3, keeping his perfect game until Brantley somehow squeeked a BS nubber up the middle as he fought off a pitch with 2 strikes to break it up. Masterson was great and went 7 innings giving up 1 run with 3 k's. In the 8th Kipnis hit a double into the gap with runners on 1st and 2nd. Cabrera scored but Kotchman was gunned down at home. In the bottom of the 10th Choo led off with a single. Santana then ripped a ground rule double. Chisenhall (defensive sub) then hit a game-winning sac fly to win it! Great game, so glad to get the win with such poor offense for 7+ innings.

                I am plugging away with the Mets. I'm 2-5, but I'm having fun so far. I have made some changes to make the game easier; meter pitching, timing hitting and some sliders. The Vita version is hard as hell to get used to, I'm worried I may end up abandoning that.

                I would like to note Johan Santana is 2-0 with an ERA under 1.00 and in 13.1 IP has thrown 12 Ks.

                Ike Davis has been by miles my best hitter, and it's exciting because he is an A potential. David Wright and Jason Bay have been mediocre. For a competitive 2012 I need them to step it up.

                Ruben Tejada and David Murphy turn a slow double play. And I've already expressed my thoughts on a one Lucas Duda.

                I looked around the league and the Rockies and someone else I cannot remember are in rebuilding mode. I don't have minor league assets to get Tulowitzki or Gonzalez, but maybe after the draft I will.

                  1-9 so far. Go Padres!

                  In my defense, I'm driving to Vegas (backseat) and every game has been with the vita and it's hard to hit on this. No games on PS3 yet

                    Try using timing hitting.

                        How can a team be in rebuilding mode after 7 games? lol

                          Even though i'm a Marlins fan, I started an Astros franchise for a challenge. I lost my first game 2 to 4 against the Rockies. I got rocked with Wandy Rodriguez, giving up all 4 of their runs in the 2nd inning.

                              I always like to play all the games, thus find myself playing seasons (which get continued and are basically a franchise without the minor leagues). I wish there was a shorter franchise option! Anything you guys would suggest to somehow incorporate Minors into my 82 game season?

                              Thanks

                                I think it was before 7 games too. They are 5-2 as of now. The Pirates are also rebuilding. They have a CF who I think might fit nicely in Flushing.
