MLB 15 The Show: How to Rebuild the Twins

[Knight165]

Do you move Mauer?

If so...can you actually get someone to take him on?

That's gotta be tough.

The thing is the AI gms look at his ratings numbers and not his age. It would be sweet if somehow a players age factored into trades. Mauer much like Hamels and Lee fetch a kings ransom on the trade market.

I'm currently in year 2 of my rebuild with the Twins. I took advantage of the year to year saves and try to stay on pace with the real season playing every game. Buxton and Sano were Sept call ups last year and earned their spots on this years roster. Buxton is leading off and hitting .320 with 19 RBIs while Sano is mainly DH while we work on his D. He is hitting .254 with 6 HRs. We traded a top prospect (Rosario) for a CP (Feliz) at the end of spring training and he has 11 saves. Tried to sign big name FAs but they took less money to go to proven winners. Not surprising after we won only 70 games in year one. Currently on 6 game win streak after getting swept at home by OAK. 19-16 record

It is fairly simple, they have a nice collection of minor leaguers. Trading hunter and Mauer are no brainers.

The Phillies would be more difficult to rebuild I'd think

Phillies would probably be the most difficult.

Well...his ratings do make him appealing(he is actually doing phenomenal in my carry over franchise in 2015)....but I meant his contract and contract length really. Most teams are hovering around the 10 million available line......and his contract is 4 years at 11-14 in my franchise.(not sure on the default roster for '15)

I pray that in 2016, SCEA reviews the batting animations...poor Mauer looks like he's about to break his wrist.

If you're using a full roster, including minors, there isn't much rebuild required really since the Twins have one of the top 3 minor league systems in baseball. That system includes the #1 prospect, imo, Bryan Buxton. All they need is a few years of simulation and pitching development to be competitive in the game.
