Speed, Power & Guile - A Tale of Three Journeys (MLB The Show PS4)

Premise:
With the recent features of carry over saves added to MLB The Show on PS4, I have decided I would like to tell a tale of three different careers, but provide an approach that would have each traveling along together, keeping in touch with each other, and if their teams either compete against each other, or they happen to be on the same team, have them traveling together. In short, I enjoy RttS, and want to have a little fun with it, feeling now I'm more likely to complete these careers at some point.

The Players:
- James LeBlond: A speedy OF with decent contact, looking to be that prototypical leadoff hitter type.
- Erik Kelly: A 6'9" power hitting 3B/1B.
- Ethan Knight: A crafty starting pitcher type. Will probably throw 93-94 tops at most.

Settings:
- I will use Hall of Fame Hitting and Hall of Fame Pitching (Pulse).
- For Hitters, I will play one game, sim their next start, etc.
- For Pitchers, I will play every game they are in.
- I plan to tweak sliders as things get "easier", as I'm not trying to have Hall of Fame careers, but more realistic experiences of the common Major Leaguer (assuming all three get there).

Approach:
I will play one month of each player's career, report highlights, add a little back story as each player goes, then go to the next player. My goal is to finish each player's month, and then advance. So this may advance slowly since I'm playing three different RttS, but I hope to make it more enjoyable to follow along.

Thanks for reading this, and I hope you enjoy.
