Twins?

[cena101]

Hi, I know I just posted something about my Nationals franchise, but I wanted to start a new franchise and I wanted to pick a team that has an awesome stadium and a good team so I picked the Twins. So far I like the way they play, but feel that they can improve in some key areas such as starting pitching and 3rd base and shortstop. So my question is what are some fair and realistic trades that can help out the Twins thanks.

thats the beauty of francise mode, you have to see what teams are in the tank and raid them. mariners pirates diamondbacks and astros have unloaded players with one year left in my 1st yr try them

Yeah, I've found you can go after Mark Reynolds of the Diamondbacks. I can't remember what cocktail I put together for them but I'm sure Nathan was involved and perhaps Thome. I'm not real big on closers so I unload Nathan regularly!

I play as the Twins. Here's 3 points that will help you:

1. Pick up Orlando Hudson from free agency, if you don't have him already
2. Move Jim Thome to 3rd base. He makes a lot of great plays out there.
3. Use Francisco Liriano as a starting pitcher and move Brian Duensing to the bullpen (just like in real life, but the game has it backwards. Actually I think Liriano is not even in the rotation when you start the game. He's the best pitcher in the Twins system if you ask me. There's also some guy in the minors named Garza who has a 97mph fastball that you should call up. Get rid of Punto asap, he's a sled.

Man, it sounds like you need to use one of the community rosters.

I like punto, hes not the best hitter obviosuly but his fielding is excellent. Hes my best infielder in terms of fielding and number of errors so i keep him in the lineup
