The Franchise Progress Thread - Page 5

I decided to try out my first OTTP dynasty ever with the Yankees as GM and man it's been tougher than I expected.

I'm not on my main comp. so I can't give you exact stats, but here's the general idea:

I drafted George "Horse Belly" Hoover with my first pick and Paco Garcia with my second to help potential shore up my bullpen. Horse Belly (didn't name him myself) got stuck in A, but Paco made it all the way up to AAA and had a 2.27 ERA as a closer (moved Pat Venditte up to MLB).

Decided to trade away the catcher behind Cervelli, I think his name is Gustavo something. Got a couple prospects. Picked up Dave Bush off waivers like a cat that caught a canary. He went 9-6 as a bandaid starter/clean up guy.

Boston started to catch up to me, so I traded Russel Martin, because Cervelli was out hitting him for three pitchers. Cesar Ramos (stuck in AAA now), Harvenson (pretty good), and some other guy who is probably stuck in AA.

I ended up getting a wildcard spot (by a hair) with Swisher and Texiera knocking the leather off the ball (Swisher had forty something dingers). CC rocked, AJ was ok, Harvenson ok, Hughes great, and the bullpen fantastic (Robertson is a beast- 1.95 ERA). Unfortunately, I had to face the Rangers in the playoffs. Somehow I beat them and made it to the World Series, but the Cardinals beat me in 7

The obvious thing to improve in the offseason was pitcher, but with a plethora of overpaid and underperforming "stars" (Burnett, Posada, Jeter, Igawa who rocks A ball) I couldn't make a bid on Webb, Bedard, or Harden, I was left with Colby Lewis, who nearly knocked me out of the playoffs. Whatever.

Now in the season my depth chart is

C-Cervelli- Montero
1B- Texiera- Dobriek (from Russel Martin trade?)
2B- Cano
SS- Jeter- Nunez
3B- Arod
LF- Gardner
CF- Van Every (Granderson out 9 months)
RF- Swisher- Dan Brewer
DH- Posada

Sabathia
Hughes
Lewis
Burnett
Harvenson

Garcia was good last season until he effectively ended his career with an elbow injury. I might see him back for a start or two before he retires, but I don't expect much. Colon sucked with an 6+ ERA. Bush is now also hurt.

CP- Rivera

Robertson
Marte
Logan
Some other 3+ star guys that I can't remember :P

I still have Paco Garcia in AAA and Horse Belly finally made it up there, but I don't expect either in the majors with my loaded bullpen. If only I could find a 5th starter... that reminds me I traded Nova to the Astros at some point. I figured if I was going to trade him, it should be funny.

I'm choking on Jeter and Posada's star power though. Both are hitting near .200 (.221ish for Posada and .152 for Jeter) and I would love to get rid of them, but the fans won't like it and worse, nobody wants them.

To make matters worse, Swisher has been sucking. Luckily, Posada got hurt and Girardi saw it fit to put Montero at DH propelling me to a 10 game win streak lol.

I tried trading Burnett in the offseason also, but the only offers were garbage. I've had Iwawa on waivers for a few months now. I really hate paying this guy.

I got some guy from Venezuela that my scout found and he now sits in AA destroying all competition. He will be getting a phone call soon. Good thing for my scout, after finding two scrubs for the past year, I expected something big out of him.

Oh and my top shortstop recruit got beaned in his first major league appearance ending his career. Great.

Klew1986 · 07-30-2011, 11:34 AM

I'm nearing the amateur draft in my Twins game that is now in the 2019 season.

I ended up signing Arcia (my two-time MVP RF) to a 69.36 mil/4 year deal (17.34 mil per) extension prior to this season.

I ended up letting Mauer walk as a FA, which was a very tough move, but he wanted like 20 mil per year for 5 years.

My top pitcher ruptured his UCL in May of 2018. At the time he was a 4.5 star pitcher and when he came off the DL, he was a 1 star pitcher. He was not even a shell of his former self, so I released him. He went 19-6 in 2017 prior to his injury. I am going to need to rebuild my rotation as I have a very weak group of SP outside my top 2. Will probably go pitcher heavy in the upcoming draft.

So happy to see my project make the All Star game this year!

In fact, we have 7 All Stars this season.

actionjackson · 07-31-2011, 05:52 PM

Off the top, as you'll see this is an OOTP 11 sim.

I'll be getting 12 later, but for now I'm sticking with 11. Historical real players starting in 1871 using a slightly altered Gambo db with a radical twist. I batch copy/pasted fake names over top of the real ones and took away any obvious tells like birthplaces etc and changed it to debut MLB year and final MLB year to create a game that plays with real historical numbers created by fictional names, and no ratings, with low/hard/neutral trade settings. It. Is. Hard. So far anyway, but I want to be challenged, and a challenge I now have.

I simmed 1871-1875 to try and get the recalc kinks sorted out (they're still somewhat there, but I just wanted to play the @#$%^&* game dammit), and took over the craptacular Philadelphia Athletics on the first day of the preseason in 1876. They were so craptacular that they didn't even have one season where they outscored their opponents (still haven't

[missed it by that much: -22 run differential in 60 games, and a 29-31 record]) and we're still looking bad enough to make it a seventh straight season of ugh in 1877 as you can see by the record so far (currently 7-11 with a -5 run differential [on pace to be better in that category but only slightly

]) in the top left corner.

As for not knowing who's who, that's the whole point. I can always go back later and figure that out once they've retired using the editor, but it kind of makes things too easy if you can separate the stars from the bench players without reading a scouting report, or looking at ratings doesn't it?

Here's the leaderboards I use for manual All-Star selections (Hitter PA, Hitter VORP, Pitcher IP, Pitcher VORP, Fielding ZR, Fielding Innings Played), sorted by hitter VORP:

Jamee999 · 08-01-2011, 07:56 PM

I just wanted to show you all this start to a game from the King. The first 3 innings went:

1st - 3 swinging strikeouts
2nd - 2 swinging strikeouts and a groundout to 2nd
3rd - 2 strikeouts looking and a strikeout swinging.

Unfortunately the 4th started with a fly out to deep LF and then a line drive base hit

EDIT: 9 IP, 5 ER, 8 H, 3 BB, 13 K and the L. Was looking like a truly elite game when he had gone 5 IP with 3 hits a walk and 10 K's, but it fell apart with 3 runs on back-to-back homers in the 6th.

MizzouRah · 08-05-2011, 11:59 AM

I am so immersed into this game right now.

We are 73-39, 5 1/2 in front of the Reds (this is a redraft league) - it's our best start in our history and our setup man, Bobby Jenks comes back in 6 days for the stretch run.

This is the first season I made no trades at the deadline as I'm very happy overall with this team and our roster.

It's taken me into my 6th year as GM to get this team where I wanted it to be.

The only scary part is, I have to cut costs next season so we are in a WIN NOW! mode.

Klew1986 · 08-05-2011, 12:00 PM

You did a fantasy draft? Who all do you have on your team?

Klew1986 · 08-05-2011, 12:16 PM

The team you have right now.

Orcin · 08-05-2011, 01:57 PM

My 2011 Astros finished 75-87, 4th place. The game gave me a score of 11 out of 100 and said I could do better.

The Boston Red Sox defeated the Chicago Cubs in the 2011 World Series.

Owner Drayton McLane passed away at mid-season and his son, Todd, took over the team. Todd is a tad more lenient than his father but just as cheap. He didn't fire me but his disposition is "angry".

I made some moves during the season to set myself up for the future.

I signed Pence and Bourn to contract extensions. Pence was $50 million for 4 years, Bourn was $25 million for three.
I traded Brett Myers & Jeff Keppinger to Arizona for shortstop Stephen Drew (.275 18 75). The money was about the same.
I traded Carlos Lee plus $6 million to the Rangers for a pitching prospect.
I traded a different pitching prospect to Washington for C Wilson Ramos.
I fired the manager Mills and his entire staff and replaced them with fictional mgr/coaches.

Overall, I made the offense better (but it's still poor) and gave up one decent pitcher. The key move was Lee because I now have $25 million available budget to pursue a free agent. I am just starting the off-season now, and the two prizes are Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder. I plan to nab one of them, but the question is which one? I am leaning toward Fielder because he is younger and probably cheaper.

I am making two other interesting changes to the game universe for 2012. I am going to a balanced 5 teams in all 6 divisions (I am a Libra) by moving Milwaukee to the American League. I am also adopting the DH in the National League (only league including minors that doesn't have it). I need someplace to play my new slugger.

Klew1986 · 08-05-2011, 02:01 PM

Interesting. Where are you going to put Milwaukee? Can't really place them in AL West and the AL Central is already at 5, as is the AL East.

To be honest, I am not a fan of the DH going to NL. I would actually remove the DH from the AL, but that is just me.

I am moving Kansas City to the A.L. West, where they had some glory years, and putting Milwaukee in the A.L. Central. Honestly, moving Houston does make a lot of sense, but it's my league and I don't want to be in the A.L. So I'll put the Brewers over there and stick it to Selig.

I wanted both leagues using the same rule, and I chose to have the DH everywhere because it makes the games go faster. Not very purist of me, I know, especially being a National League guy. In real life, I wouldn't like it but this is different.

This poor guy doesn't get much run support.

My team looks stacked, but it's the year 2015 so Joe Mauer is not the Joe Mauer of 2010.. although he's a stud as far as defense is concerned.

Matt Chico with 16 wins?

This team has just all come together this season, I've only been to the playoffs once and lost in the NLCS, that was 2013.

On day 1 of free agency, I offered Prince Fielder $18.5 million per year for 6 years. The contract would carry him through age 32. It is basically the Carlos Lee contract that I unloaded on Texas.

Two weeks into free agency, San Diego signed Albert Pujols at $20 million per year for 4 years. Fielder says that I have "done the best job stepping up to the plate and putting the proper amount of lettuce on it. That said, if a better deal comes along, I might just have to jump on it."

Based on the Pujols contract, I think I am in good shape.

Update: December 3, 2011

Houston Fired up over Signing of 1B Fielder
Houston officials presented their new first baseman Prince Fielder today before a packed clubhouse of media representatives, agents and baseball officials.

The deal is worth an estimated $111,000,000, and runs for 6 years.

In his career Fielder is hitting .280 with 987 hits, 235 home runs, 578 runs scored and 646 RBIs.

____________________________

I took a page from the Texans playbook, and went hard after the #2 guy rather than let #1 play me against the Padres. It paid off. And I still have $5 million left on my budget... this year. I am worried about the escalating contracts for Wandy, Drew, Bourn, and Pence. Wandy may need to go at the deadline if a young pitcher emerges or I can find a bargain free agent late in the game.

MizzouRah · 08-06-2011, 11:59 AM

I bet you can't wait to play your first game with him on the roster?

After a realitivly major injury free season, I get hit with 3 losing my SS, CF for 3+ weeks and SP Matt Chico is done for the season.

We are only 1 game up on the Reds now, although they are 7 games up in the WC, so worst case I believe we would be in via the WC.

After a realitivly major injury free season, I get hit with 3 losing my SS, CF for 3+ weeks and SP Matt Chico is done for the season. We are only 1 game up on the Reds now, although they are 7 games up in the WC, so worst case I believe we would be in via the WC.
