Projecting Stephen Strasburg's Career with MLB 2K10

[Pmogs10]

MLB 2K10 sim engine is garbage, make Stras a closer and watch him blow 15-20 saves a season and still be considered good, he may also have an ERA of like 1.57 too lol.......2K is going away soon and its sad, wish they could still make NFL, man those games were good

2k's not going anywhere, they are the only company that still supports the pc market, and 2k baseball isnt THAT bad. I think it will be a good thing if they just forget about hockey and focus on baseball and basketball.

Im not a huge fan of any baseball games sim engine right now including the show, but his numbers here arent that bad, ton of k's pretty decent number of wins considering the teams he played on early in his career.

Someone should do a MLB 10 sim of Strasburg.

I definitely think he will average 13 to 15 wins per season with the way the Nat's have performed since they moved to D.C. However, I think he will end up in New York, LA, or possibly a team like Cincy or Atlanta that has some young stars.

I'm tempted to do this with The Show just for the sake of comparison.

something i find kind of funny about the 2k series, they almost make it impossible for any pitcher to get 200 strikeouts, at all, in the show, i mean, you'll get lincicum to get 250+ strikeoutss like he normally does (pending an injury or slump of some sort) but, 2k7 and 2k8 which i played, i never had any pitcher, (in the majors, or minors) get 200 strikeouts, i think 2k likes hitting a little to much, lol (hell, in the show, ubaldo jimenez got 300 strikeouts, lol)

"2027

The MLB suffers its first lockout since 1994, so Strasburg does not pitch. OK, fine, I’ll admit it -- I lost my notes for the 2027 season. Use your imagination."

That's funny stuff, there.

While I'm not a Nats fan, surely most would sacrifice one man's career for a couple World Series titles, right?

I don't trust 2k10, so I did my own simulation for the next few years with MLB 10 the show.

2010: Strasburg finishes off a strong rookie year with a 9-5 record, 2.89 ERA, and 130 strikouts in 100 innings. Yankees win World Series against the Reds.

2011: Though Steve is strong, Nats fail to live up to their end. 11-12, 3.04 ERA, 210 strikouts. Cardinals defeat Red Sox in World Series. Nats in 4th place in NL East.

2012: The world ends as the Mayans predicted - the Nats make the World Series! They loose to the Yankees, though. Their ace, Strassburg, has a decent but unspectacular year, but gives hope to a team in 1st place for a good part of the year and wins a Wild Card berth. Strassburg is 12-7, 3.51 ERA, 220 strikouts in the regular season, but 4-2 with 2.83 ERA and 47 strikouts in 41 innings in the postseason.

2013: The Nationals return to Earth with a .500 season, and end in 4th place. Strassburg is 12-11, 3.10 ERA, 220 strikouts. Red Sox win it all against the Braves in the fall classic.
