Inside The Ivy --- 2013 Chicago Cubs Franchise

After the recent departure of Alfonso Soriano and Matt Garza, and the acquisitions of Mel Ott and other exciting prospects I'm excited to start a new Cubs franchise. I am an avid Cubs fan and have already completed a franchise with them in MLB 13 The Show. I developed young prospects and won the 2016 World Series. However,I did pick up a few big name free agents to reach the WS.(Justin Upton, Gio Gonzalez, ect.) This time around I will only sign free agents that I can insert as role players. I will develop my supply of great young prospects and see how many years it will take to bring a championship to Chicago.

I plan to play around 20 games a year. Once my prospects are in the bigs I will play more. I play with all-star hitting and pitching and HOF button accuracy throwing. I'm planing to use the trade deadline OSFM rosters.

Here's a look at my top 10 prospects based on MLB.com's ratings.
(OSFM rosters may have different order of potentials and ratings)

Name Pos Starting Lvl.
Javier Baez SS AA
Albert Almora CF AA
Jorge Soler OF AA
Kris Bryant 3B/OF AA
Mike Olt 3B AAA
Arodys Visciano SP/RP AAA
Pierce Johnson SP AA
Arismendy Alacantara 2B AA
Junior Lake OF/3B MLB
Matt Scuzr OF AAA

DeJesus CF
Barney 2B
Castro SS
Rizzo 1B
Shierholtz RF
Valbuena 3B

This is what I want the lineup to look like when the young guys are in the bigs.

Almora CF
Castro SS
Baez 2B

My weakness is my pitching prospects.
This is where I'm planning on using draft picks.
