MLB 15 Franchise Progress Thread

[shopejay]

So with the new GM contract system, is anyone going to take a bad team or one of the worst records from last year and "prove yourself" to the other owners as an up and coming GM? Try to earn a place with a bigger club? What's the thoughts and opinions on this? Thought about trying this also for myself... And with Y2Y saves now, why not?

I normally do one AL and one NL as well. Several years ago it was the Mariners and Pirates and I did actually build them up to where they played in the World Series, it was pretty cool.

This year I'm carrying over my Padres/A's franchise from last year that's currently in July '15. I'm also going to start a new franchise with the Cubs and Astros. Lastly, I'll have another one going with the Yankees/Pirates/Marlins. Now that we have year to year saves I can really take my time and enjoy going through each one.

I also want to do a fantasy draft franchise with the legends included. Will try and update this post regularly.

Got news for you, OSFM rosters won't come out Sunday. Try 4 sundays from now if lucky.

Last time I saw the thread they were aiming for this Sunday. The year to year saves allowed them to transfer everything and they dont have nearly as much to do as last year. So unless anything has changed in the last 24 hours I got some news fo you!

I thought that was just the deadline for the individual team people to turn in their rosters to the editors.

Yes, that's what this Sunday is. OSFM won't be out this Sunday, there's a ton of work that still needs to be done even with the workaround.

Started an Indians franchise, traded for Ryan Zimmerman and Jansen, Simed through the season since I'm not too interested until the OS rosters are out and the tribe won the AL winning 95 games. Kluber went 21-2 with a 1.76 ERA and Lindor won ROY

Playing the playoff games though and Houston won the WC game so I'm playing them first round.
