    Re: What Team are you Planning on Using and first actions

    I plan on starting my franchise with the Twins once the OSFM rosters are out. Twins have a really good Farm system. I'll just play my season along and improve through my minor league system. I will try to make a block buster trade (it's part of my ritual in the show is to always make a block buster trade) and take it from there!... so PUMPED!

      When I end up picking up the game, I plan on using either the Dodgers or a lowly ranked club.
      I couldn't agree with you more....I have NEVER ever played a franchise with my A's

      As for my annual attempt to complete a full season with the 'Stros, as always Lucas Harrell will be removed from the major-league roster...will probably unload Feldman and Jerome Williams as well

        Pirates. Probably look for a power hitting 1B. Other than that, I'm not sure yet.

          First actions question for an A's user:

          What kinds of trades, if any, might make sense for OF Michael Taylor, who had a nice Spring Training but has been designated for assignment and clearly doesn't have a home in the OF, which has designated Fuld as it's #3 and has Gentry on the mend?

          I'm relatively new to baseball as a serious fan, and the logic of trades and roster management is still a bit overwhelming. I'd love to hear any suggestions.

            A's are pretty balanced. The only position I'd try to upgrade is 2b and OF Depth and maybe add an elite starter.

              I wouldn't be using the A's but they're my fav team so hopefully my opinion counts for something...as for your question, it depends on a few things...first being if you're gunna mimic real-life's injuries, I would imagine I'd need a back-end of the rotation starter unless you trust Chavez....I have never been a Sogard fan so maybe a lefty-hitting 2B to platoon with callaspo? I don't think Taylor wont be rated as anything special (maybe a high-C pot) so I wouldn't expect anybody impactful

                Yeah, I could see looking for a #6 SP or something like that, or a relatively lowly-rated lefty specialist. That's what's fun to me about OAK, is that they build like that.

                I wish I knew more about Sogard, but I don't, and I would like to improve there. Even so, their lineup is really solid top-to-bottom.

                Thanks for the input!

                  Opening-Day Roster would have 3 bullpen lefties making it (Doolittle, Pomeranz who you can maybe transform into a 5th starter? and Abad who would most likely be the lefty *specialist* you speak of)....Sogard is extremely scrappy and is a decent defender but wont provide much with the bat

                    Sogard is completely awful on SCEA's default roster.

                      not surprised.....you can just play Callaspo full-time or move Lowrie to 2B and play Nakajima (if he's anything halfway decent) and wait for Russell

                        Re: What Team are you Planning on Using and first actions

                        For my second franchise I originally was going to go with the Mets but now Im heavily leaning towards the Cubbies... they have less stardom at the moment and I'm looking to build with a fantasy-est feel with a cheap NL team.
                        Yes, I do have guidelines lol

                        Now im trying to decide whether to wait for the OSFM Rosters or not?
                        With my Red Sox franchise I definitely am but with my second one I think Ill wait til the first roster update then dive in.
                        Reasons being to keep the two very different. Ones a realistic extremely deep franchise and the other would be a cheap rebuild team with some unrealistic moves...

                        My first move with the Cubs was gonna be to trade Castro (not a fan) and get Arenado from the Rox along with someone else maybe, this would have to be a 3-way trade though since Tulo has the Rox SS anchored down
