this idea was created by DrMario, with his log of the pirates franchise. you can access that topic here: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1258

Okay here we go:

Well, it looks like Bud Selig wanted more, so he has created two teams, one of which is the Las Vegas Dinosaurs, the other being the Norfolk Werewolves, us. We have been given the blueprints to Fenway Park so we can build a replica, and it should be finished by spring training.

We thought it would be rough at first, but surprisingly a dream draft was called. We wound up with the 1st pick, too!

Here's how our draft went:

1. Josh Hamilton (edited to B, A, C, B, B)
2. Tim Lincecum
3. Felix Hernandez
4. Ryan Braun
5. James Loney
6. Garrett Atkins
7. Aaron Rowand
8. Ryan Theriot
9. Evan Longoria
10. Matt Garza (edited to have 3 for SLD, CHG, 4 in CB)
11. Hiroki Kuroda
12. Matt Kemp
13. Geovany Soto
14. Jesse Litsch
15. Andy Sonnastine
16. Brian Wolfe
17. Janssen (I forgot his 1st name)
18. Randor Bierd
19. Joel Zumaya
20. Kevin Kouzmanoff
21. Brendan Harris
22. Tony Buck (I think)
23. Eddie Guardado
24. John Rheinecker
25. Dustin Nippert
26. Mike Fontenot
27. Medrano (created by cpu)
28. Martin Prado
29. Meek (P) don't know 1st name
30. Badenhop (P) don't know 1st name
31. Paul Bako
32. Great Weeks
33. Serrano (P) don't know first name

Obviously we have a lot of work to do, but we have a great team that might contend for the playoffs.

Here's our lineup:
C Soto
1B Loney
2B Atkins
SS Theriot
3B Longoria (Evan, not Eva)
OF: Braun
Rowand
Hamilton

Bench: Kemp (OF)
Kouzmanoff (3B)
B. Harris (2B)
T. Buck (OF)
Bako (C)

Rotation: Lincecum
F. Hernandez
Garza
Kuroda
Sonnastine

Long Reliever: Litsch

Middle Relievers: Bierd
Janssen

Set-up Men: Wolfe
Zumaya

Closer: Guardado

I forgot I registered three players: Wyl's MLBPPWORLD, Mike94100's K. Bill, and Carter (i forget who made it)

anyway, the front office is considering trading guardado and rowand away, for a better closer, such as K-Rod or Mariano Rivera. Sonnastine is out of the rotation, we now have a 6-man rotation. MLBPPWORLD and K. Bill are 1-2.

Anyway, the results of first game: Our team wins, 3-0. That's a start!

Highlights: Only one really.
First pitch of our first at bat ever, Carter crushes it 423 feet to right centerfield for a home run. Good Omen!

I'm following.

And why isn't Felix Hernandez in front of Lincecum? In the game, he is better.

Your really a big fan of the king, aren't you mate?
I always like getting C.C., Webb, Wakefield, Hallady, Kennedy (Ian, had a 1.3 e.r.a last year you know) and Joba (to transform into a starter). King and Linecum are very good, but not as good as most of these guys. Joba has the potential to be the best as he has the best breaking balls. I always edit his stamina to C (it should be D).
By the way, I liked "We thought it would be rough at first, but surprisingly a dream draft was called. We wound up with the 1st pick, too!" haha, very nicely said.
Anyone ever tried an expansion team with the automated bad players? Its a heck of a challenge on all powerful, and a fun one too.
By the way, what division are you in and whose in it (if you edited it)? What type of teams do they have, meaning are they more pitching based or hitting based? What's the salary? Finally, where is the other expansion team?
Best of luck to you mate. Draft games are always challenging and fun. For some reason it always seems like its harder even when you're playing with a below average team. Maybe its because the AL east picks first for some reason and I usually use the Yanks for this type of thing.

It is not like that unless you are doing arrange mode or dream draft. Because when you do arrange mode or dream draft, you'll have the number one pick in your first year. Unlike in normal season mode, your pick will be according to your overall position last year.

But not in dream draft, there the player chooses first.
