That ONE roster move is...

The OSFM roster is here. You're ready to start your franchise but something is missing. There's a move that has to happen.

Maybe there's a player you MUST HAVE or a player you MUST get off your team.

For me, I use the Yankees. I love having Ichiro Suzuki on my squad. He kills lefty pitching. He's still a good defensive player. He still has good speed. He's a great addition for depth AND its Ichiro. He has that classic swing and approach at the plate we've been seeing for years. So mine is Ichiro.

What is that one move you have to make to your squad and why?

Replace my entire pitching staff.

Why? Go look at the Rockies rotation and bullpen and you will see why. Makes me sad just thinking about it.

And here I am contemplating starting a Rockies franchise because I'm tired of playing the Cardinals, and I cannot carry over my MLB 14 Mariners franchise. I might do it anyway just to see what I can do to improve them. Trading Reyes for pitching is the first move I'd make.

One thing I learned from Millennium's Twitch streams is you can get pitchers with low BB/9 cheap and that rating has zero effect on human controlled pitching.

Re: That ONE roster move is...

BB/9 is useless? So what governs classic pitching if it's not the BB/9 rating?

Tigers. Pretty sure I'm gonna have to ditch Mike Aviles. He's old, a backup, not particularly good, and I just can't handle his funky batting stance.

If I continue my Phillies franchise I would love to get Baez from the Cubs but would have to think long and hard about what I'd be willing to give up to get him.

First moves I made were to get rid of prospects not named Benitendi, Devers, Espinosa, Moncada, and go get Chris Archer. Also traded Pablo (!!!!) and Chris Young, because he's a former yankee, and I can't have any of those players on my Red Sox WS winning team.

Re: That ONE roster move is...

Playing as Detroit this year. As valuable as Victor Martinez is to my lineup, he regresses far too much after one year so I'm afraid I need to take my heart out of it and deal him. I am thinking I could get Jaso and some B pot prospects from the Pirates for him. Jaso isn't a huge downgrade offensively, and my farm is so depleted right now.
