MLB 14 The Show: Five Teams To Rebuild Today

[Armor and Sword]

I have always been a closet Royals fan. From my early years playing and watching baseball, George Brett was one of my idols growing up in the late 70's and through the 80's and early 90's. It is without a doubt my favorite period of major league baseball (77-94).

I have been closely following the Royals and they are on the cusp of breaking through. A savvy GM can make a key trade or two for this team to put them over the top. Also maybe one major key Free Agent signing can also help them achieve the post season.

I am so tempted to take on the Royals when OSFM comes out......but man I want to play with my Yankees....Tanaka, Jacoby.....tough to turn them away.

But if I were to choose a team or two The Royals and The Marlins would be my top two choices to take on a challenging franchise, with good farm systems and lower budgets and beautiful ball parks.


Funny, I am playing for the Twins AA team in The Rock Cats with my RTTS 3B after being taken 6th overall in draft. I am no doubt going to take that 3B spot up in The Show at some point (if I am not traded)....I would be shocked if I don't get a September call up with the torrid pace I am on right now.

Heh, want a challenge like KC? Try Toronto: brutal starting pitching, only two real prospects in Sanchez and Stroman (once OSFM rosters come out) but a lineup that can rake. Oh, and stick to the budget against NYY, BOS and TB.

Miami has to make the list. A team like the Mets has more resources than the Marlins.

Miami was very close to making the list - trust me, but their farm system was a little weaker than the teams that did make it. I completely agree with your mindset though, and one could not go wrong with picking Miami over the five I listed.

You should use the Rockies. That's the team I'm going with this year.

(Shudders). Man, so much hype for that rotation and it just didn't pan out. Those were some lean years for the Mets.

My main question is whether the game even takes into account the farm system? Does it have real prospects, just with fake names in the game's default roster? If it does, that would be nice. If the game does not have actual prospects, I don't think the 5 teams in the article will work as intended. Maybe make a mention that it takes into account any OSFM rosters.
