    OT: MLB 13 The Show

    Not sure where to post this but here goes. I have recently resumed my franchise on MLB 13 The Show trying to get the days to go by a little faster during the time when I'm putting off studying. LOL. But my 2014 Braves team is the bomb. I let McCann walk in the off-season and he ended up signing with the Nats. Nats have since traded him to the Red Sox. But I have spent every last penny I have of my budget to get the team on the field I have now.

    C - Tim Bliss (Myself as a 20 year old rookie with a rating in the 70s )/Evan Gattis/Victor Martinez (Claimed him off waivers from the Tigers in June.)
    1B - Freddie Freeman
    2B - Dan Uggla (Uggla always does great for me on The Show.)
    3B - Ben Zobrist (Non-tendered Chris Johnson and signed Zobrist as a FA in the offseason.)
    SS - Andrelton Simmons
    LF - Alex Gordon (First move I made in my franchise was trading B.J. Upton for Alex Gordon.)
    CF - Jason Heyward
    RF - Justin Upton

    SP - Kris Medlen
    SP - Brandon Beachy
    SP - Mike Minor
    SP - Cole Hamels (Traded for him in early June from the Phillies.)
    SP - Jon Lester (Traded for him at the trading deadline from the Red Sox.)

    I had originally kept Tim Hudson in the offseason but had to let him go because he just wasn't getting the job done anymore. Also had A.J. Pierzynski as my platoon catcher with Evan Gattis but had to let him go in season as well for poor performance. Pierzynski was my backup catcher to McCann in my 2013 season.

    I play with a DH always on and my DH rotates between Gattis, Martinez and Lance Berkman. Berkman has turned out to be a solid signing for me. Also have Ramiro Pena, Tyler Pastornicky and Willie Bloomquist on my bench too.

    My bullpen is made up of Louis Coleman (got him in the Upton/Gordon trade), Trevor Rosenthal (rule 5 draft), Eric O'Flaherty, Jordan Walden, Jonny Venters and Craig Kimbrel.

    But man what a dream Braves team that would be.

    Why would the Tigers release Victor Martinez?

    I have no idea. I was shocked as heck to get a message saying he had been placed on option waivers so I snatched him up.

    Good question. Got a better team than that on MLB 11 though.

    You think you had a dream team. I did a draft on mlb 13 the show and wound up with Harper, Freeman, Heyward, Desmond, Machado and J Up.
    thank you weso1!

    Well considering I didn't do a fantasy draft and that I had to actually get the computer to agree to these trades to get guys like Alex Gordon, Cole Hamels and Jon Lester and make it fit under budget I would say my team is pretty much a dream team especially with regards to the Braves. There's no a single person here that wouldn't love to have those 3 guys on the Braves but it will never happen in real life. Hence me calling it a dream team. I ended up winning 114 games. We'll see what happens in the playoffs.

    One thing I learned you can do in the game is sign young guys to long and cheap contracts. I think I signed Machado to something like 9 years at 2 million per year.
    thank you weso1!

    I have never tried that. I'll give it a shot and see what happens.
