I see your point about the 2015 Padres. Until last night's game I've been super nervous about these guys becoming the next major letdown, cause if they are we're kinda screwed for the future. But it's only been 1 month!
After simming up to the trade deadline, not much has changed. Averages have raised to around .220 or .250 for some guys but I still have the worst offense in baseball.
I'm trying another strategy. I'm trading Profar (FA after the season) for a stud 1B prospect and some extra pieces, and then getting whatever I can for my age 27-28 guys who are underperforming a ton. I'll have a full lineup of young, 70+ potential guys under age 24 if I can also get some high draft picks (which I certainly will). Basically the Cubs' strategy. I'll just hope 2 or 3 turn into stars, then I'll use the money savings to get some "final pieces" in FA.
I also didn't realize the game had park factors. Petco suppresses hitters, but not THIS much. Just look at this year's Padres for a perfect example (top scoring offense in NL so far). Maybe I should just stock up on RH hitters then...
I'll also start a new campaign with the new OD rosters (Kimbrel on Padres) and just start over. Maybe I'll have better luck. It's almost more encouraging knowing this might just be poor luck and not some flaw in the game. I'll keep trying!

If this year works out the same try switching to another team and see how SD does without your involvement. And if you want to keep the team as it is disable trades.
