MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress

[xCULLO]

I've decided to rebuild the Marlins this year.
I have been playing 1 game then simulating 5 just so I can get through the season and start building the team up.
I'm already in June and my record is 32-34 (not as bad as I thought it would be)

I've already pulled of some pretty awesome trades..
Got Eric Hosmer for Garrett Jones and a pair of B potential pitching prospects.
Also got Gio Gonzalez for three B pitching prospects.

Very slow start for my pirates. First 2 games and both went to extra innings

End of May - 2014

Spoiler

The surprising season continues in KC. After April it seemd like But we stayed right on pace. We went 21-8 in May putting our record at a league leading 40-16. We started the month 9-6 but we put together another 9 game win streak to get us going. Im not exactly sure how we are winning all these games. I though Aoki was on steroids but now i think everyone is.

Hitters are doing better than they did in April. Aoki is still the only everyday starter hitting over.300 (.329). But Moose, Perez and Gordon are all over .285 and Danny Valencia is hitting .350 in 80 at bats as the starter at 3rd vs LHP. Lorenzo Cain continues to struggle. Only hitting .200 with 12 RBI. He will probably start splitting time with Dyson in CF or Jimmy Paredes may be called up (more on him below).

Pitching did regress a little. Ventura is now the only starter with an ERA under 3.00 (2.50). Vargas and Duffy are tied for most wins with 7. And Holland leads the AL with 21 saves.

AL on top NL on bottom

AAA and AA still lead their divisions as well. But neither team did as well as they did in April.

In AA, Kyle Zimmer is 5-4 with a 4.01 ERA. Im going to leave him down in AA for his next 2 starts. If he does well he will be brought up to AAA if not then he will stay down until he shows improvement.

Jorge Bonifacio is hitting .311, Bubba Starling is hitting .299 with 6 HR and is playing very well in the outfield with 8 assists. hunter Dozier is hitting .291 with 9 HR and 32 RBI. Raul Mondesi is only hitting .254 but at 18 years old and possibly the best prospect we have theres no concern there.

In AAA, Christian Binford was called up after going 7-1 with a 2.74 ERA in 10 games. John Lamb is 7-0 with a 2.92 ERA through 11 starts. If anyone get hurt in the majors he will be the replacement.

Jimmy Paredes is making a case to take time away from Cain. Through 53 games he is hitting .344 with 32 RBI. And Brian Fletcher is doing just as well almost with a .327 AVG in 50 games. His defense is where it needs to be yet though so he will most likely be a September call up barring injuries .

I forgot to scout until the last week of the month so the draft should go very well

I just beat the Cards 2 out of 3. Lyons had a spot start for st Louis due to wacha being tired from yesterdays game when he pitched 7.1 out of the bullpen in an 18 inning game for the win. I walked 9 with Edwin Jackson including 4 in a row in the 6th to bring it to 4-3 bases loaded no body out, I sub in Hector Rondon he strikes out Molina and gets Perralta to hit into the 6-4-3 double play to end the inning not to exciting of a game but it was fun Veras was FINALLY able to go 1-2-3 in the 9th. Onto Yankee Stadium with a tired bullpen I do have a day off before the Yankees game though so that will help.

nice work keep it up. if its not a problem would share some of the cubs stats id just like to see what they're doing even though they are 13-41(lol that's not a shock) but guys like Rizzo, castro, Lake, Wood, Rondon. pretty much their young guys and baez and Bryant.

Hah, smart idea moving our plethora of pitching prospects and flipping them for win now guys. Curious though any ideas for options at 3B? Currently running between a mix of Dietrich and Solano.
