With the A's, I really focused on adding some veterans to add some depth to my team with a bit of pop left in the bats. I signed guys like Knoblauch and Jay Bell to bolster my bench. I also focused on trading for younger and cheaper players with good potential ratings while keeping my payroll down. Of course, I am using the minors to develop players too although I don't really have prospects who will be impact players at the moment. I'd be interested in seeing your approaches...

What strategies are you using to build your team?
In franchise mode, I was curious to see how you guys approach building your team (unless of course you're the Yankees who already start with an all-star team).

Re: What strategies are you using to build your team?
I started a frachinse with M's and they are quite old so I traded for ton of young good prospects.
I traded for buehlre,beckett,hudson,romero
I also traded for tons of the best young prospects in the game like brandon philips, victor martinez, hafner, blalock, jenson, ainsworth, bochard, cliff lee and a few others.
The only players that are 30 years old or above on my team are like kaz sasaki,rhodes,boone, and olerud.
My starting 3B is blalock, starting ss brandon phlips, starting catcher victor martinez, starting DH Hafner and starting CF snelling.
I really wanted to get young right off the bat and manged to. -

Re: What strategies are you using to build your team?
I'm the As, and I have currently won 3 world series so far. The only way I could do it was trying to develop the young guys and having a good Closer, Armando Benitez. I also have a high payroll for my Coaches, rated B+ or higher only in all of the categories hehe. And I try to have my scout spend a majority of their time looking for Rookies or Foreign PLayers. Potential is fun to gamble with, haha.NBA 2K11 My Player: 6'11 Athletic Center/PF 58ovr Rockets

Re: What strategies are you using to build your team?
I am trying to get better coaches too. Were you able to get them while in season or do you have to wait until after the season to get good coaches. I want to develop young players and mix them up with vet help...Comment

Re: What strategies are you using to build your team?
I have Crouch and some 'middle of the road' coaches right now in my first season with the Cubs. I recently went on a trading spree, trading away many 'veteran' position players for guys aged 21-26...even my pitching staff is relatively young (but they were already...). Most of my pos. players are beign paid 1bp for 3 years, so I will have to renegotiate a few of them so they don't all come up at the same time. In any event, I am going with promising young players...Comment
