Accidentally, my lineup is pretty balanced for handedness

Lefties: Dee Gordon, Scooter Gennett
Switch: Carlos Beltran, Yasmani Grandal
Right: Jose Abreu, Yoenis Cespedes, Andrew McCutchen

but I have 4 righties in my rotation.

I was really hoping I could get Venters to be my closer. drat.

e: If we're talking handedness, I've got 3 righties, 2 switch hitters, and 4 lefties in my lineup, and my rotation is 2 lefties and 3 righties. Given that I didn't consider handedness at all, that really worked out pretty well.

Icephoenix: I admire how good your bullpen is. It'll have to be I guess given how you have SP4 and SP5 yet to fill and your SP1-3 all average slightly less than 6IP/G.

I'm gobsmacked MAG went here. Is this an OOTP thing? Does this injured guy who's thrown less than ten innings professionally roll really well or something?

It depends a lot on projections, and OOTP tends to like prospects.

Oh, and for the record, whoever said in the google thing that my team's bad? I've run it in OOTP against the rest of the modern ML, and it's usually around 90-95 wins and the worst it ever did was the second wild card slot.

I'm not sure how much you can trust those though, since there are probably several (or more) teams that are worse than even the worst team from here.

I dunno. It's hard to tell given how real teams have salary issues and injury contingencies. I think the average team here will be a good deal better than the average MLB team based on those two factors alone, let alone incompetent GMs/managers, and the fact we have blank slates and plenty of info.

I think we'll have a team or two that will be conclusively better than any MLB team. The Dodgers, Cardinals, Giants, and maybe Tigers are the only teams on paper that would seem to stand a chance.

Pitching is the art of instilling fear.
I think there's a pretty big difference between some of the prospects who have been picked. Miguel Sano is a lot different than Joc Pederson and Francisco Lindor, as the latter two will most likely be called up this year or even might have been playing already if a veteran wasn't blocking the position they play

Miguel Sano would have been called up around now at the latest.

Pecota did project Sano for a .270 true average (which is above average) in 95 PA. In terms of an OOTP sim, there's a chance he could improve over the course of the season. It projected Pederson and Lindor would be much worse at the plate.

Looking at Javier Baez, who had a similar K rate to Sano last season in AA and got off to a slow start in AAA because of it, I don't know if Sano would be ready at this point. Sano is a much more disciplined hitter but, at the same time, he only hit .236 in half a season at AA last year.

I don't know what IcePhoenix's game says but it looks like he'll be ok even though he's below average for a starter and his change-up looks below average but serviceable.

I just looked up Sano's ZIPS projection and it has him with a .227 average, 30 home runs, and 35% strikeouts. That's some vintage Mark Reynolds poo poo, except with fewer walks.

I'd kept wondering if I should take John Danks as a potential replacement 5th starter in case Floyd sucked. Was surprised he kept falling, most of his problems have been injury-related. If Johan Santana is worth a flier, then Danks...
