I'm trying this very thing myself. The think is, the OOTP engine is seriously under valuing Brinson & Anderson IMO. I think they are much better in real life than than the game is giving them credit for. But playing the cards OOTP deals you means you REALLY need to nail the 2019 Draft. Just like Michael Hill & the Marlins scouting staff needs to do in real life. And the 2020. And the 2021. The three keys to rebuilding the fish is pitching, pitching, and pitching. Draft pitching, sign pitching internationally, scour the Indy leagues for pitching. Then buy or trade pitchers for position players.

Forget power guys. Marlins park is a terrible place for houmerun hitters anyway. Stanton is from another world and you're not like to find another like him. So focus on contact hitters. They are cheaper and easier to find. Adopt a "small ball" team strategy.

That's what I'm doing.
