kenny u didn’t have a second round pick because you signed someone with a qualifying offer attached to them, which means their previous club offered them a one year deal beforehand that would basically mean any other team that signs that player gives a draft pick to the other team
I’m someone who never watches baseball and I’m learning what I know mostly from this series and Jomboy. But despite that this is probably my favorite series on YT right now. Especially with the frequency of the uploads. Keep it up Kenny. It’s awesome that you enjoy the series a lot too.
Idk if you know but A potential is 90+ B is 80-89 , peoples potential can go up and down, depending on how theyre doing, how theyre morale is, how old, how young they are, younger guys up in the mlb are most likely are going to be mediocre just bc they arent used to going up against mlb veterans
Kenny the best way to do scouting is to sort by MLB eta and then scout those players with the higher potential first. It takes about 2-3 days to get a player scouted to the green.
When scouting, sort the players by ETA and scout the players that are projected to play the soonest. Also, if you’re looking at a player and they’re not fully scouted, look at their current attributes and not their scouted attributes. You can get a general since of if they’re good or not based off how high their attributes are
My advice is to always draft a blue chip player if one is available. They basically always have above an 85 potential and are just a lot more consistent in ratings
I don't think you should trade Austin Hays, but rather platoon him and Robby for now. Start Robby vs. Righties, Hays vs. Lefties. If Hays still doesn't come around by the trade deadline, you can look to move him for some bullpen pieces and maybe a better backup catcher than Bemboom to ride the bench
Trade Austin Hayes IMO, he’s not even playing well and will have value so you can go get some more bullpen pieces while also opening up a spot for Robby
Also Kenny Im not gonna lie you should look at all the critical situations, not jump in but a few of those were close games that you chose not to jump into cause of the situation rather the game itself
For gameplay if you wanted to do a whole series in one episode for example the rays series coming up, maybe simulate the first four or five innings and if the lead/deficit isn’t too much you hop in it would be like simcast from 2K. Just an idea but I love the series KB
Kenny I think you might have to package bob soto with hays and get someone really good because of hay’s struggling and with that you could make Dobson your starting left fielder
Move Urias to DH, Mancini to 1st and take Mountcastle out of your lineup for Dodson at 3rd. Mountcastle is having a trash year so far and it’ll give you a chance to give Dodson a run as an everyday player
You should trade Austin Hays for a 1B prospect and maybe some bullpen help, to give Dobson full time and to find your Mancini/Mountcastle eventual replacement
Just found your content this week and I've been enjoying it. Honestly, I find it hilariously infuriating (it makes me LITERALLY laugh out loud) when you mispronounce names. Keep up the good work. I've got 3 tips for you when it comes to drafting. 1) Most of the time you should draft a blue chip prospect if it's on the board. Blue chip prospects will always have 90+ potential and are guaranteed to be great one day. Even if you have another player you like (like you have with closers) it's not a bad thing to have more than one good player at that position because you can always move them to another position (like CP to RP) or trade them. Plus the decline rate is so stupid with MLB The Show that players can suddenly and drastically start losing potential. So take the blue chip if it's there. There are instances where you don't want to. For instance if you've got a blue chip with 80 potential and 50 overall, but you've also got a position player that is 50% or more scouted and is looking phenomenal then go with the player who will make it to the show first. 2) It doesn't seem like you are scouting enough. In my personal experience you need to be trying to discover as MANY prospects as possible. I generally spend almost the entire first month sending my scouts out to look for prospects. Every 3-4 days or so I check back to see if they've finished looking for what I told them. As soon as I see that they've moved on to looking for a new position or in a new area then I reassign them to either look for something else, or to go back and look for more. Sometimes it can take 2-3 times to search for one position (i.e. outfield, infield, catcher, etc.) before you've found all of the prospects you can. If you can pull up all of the prospects for a position and they all fit onto a single page without having to scroll down, then you haven't looked for enough prospects. 3) This third tip is entirely from my personal experience. Everyone has a different style. I really enjoy looking for new prospects and I want to have as many scouted as I possibly can. In order to accomplish this, beginning at the end of April (and no later than the first day of May) I go every day and manually send out my scouts to scout individual players. I start by sending them to look at any player who either has a potential of 80 or has an overall of 75-80. I literally do this every day all the way up to the draft. At most I'll go every OTHER day and do this. If left to themselves scouts will scout random players so you end up with a lot of players with low potential scouted meanwhile the players who have decent to great potential you're left guessing at. You've got the general idea, you just need to do it a little more. One final thing.
