All-Star
So while we're all holed up dealing with a global pandemic, without sports, I decided that I would take one of the worst teams in the MLB and go into complete rebuild mode to make them relevant again. Enter the Baltimore Orioles, coming off back to back sub 60 win seasons. Since the Manny Machado era ended in Baltimore, the team has been in complete shambles and is in the very early stages of a full overhaul. Follow along (patiently), as I take this team from bottom dweller to title contender and make the likes of Cal Ripken Jr and Brooks Robinson happy and proud again. I will be streaming games live on twitch as well as making weekly dynasty report posts in this channel.

Before we start, these are the settings I will be using to start this adventure:
Hitting Difficulty: HOF
Hitting Interface: Zone
Pitching Difficulty: HOF
Pitching Interface: Meter
Roster: Ridin Full Minors
Settings and Sliders: Mike Lowe MLB The Show 20 Sliders
Now for some background leading up to the current season. The Orioles have some good young prospects, problem is that they wont be ready for a couple years, but this should give me time to draft well and make some trades to acquire young talent in order to compete for a title in the years to come. I dont expect to be very active in the free agent market early as it just doesn't make sense to spend money on big names when you're not yet at your window. I do plan to be saavy in free agency and get cheap veterans to help the overhaul go more smoothly. I plan on being active in the trade market and plan on really focusing on drafting in the next few seasons. My goal is to play as many games as possible (ironman style) and enjoy the ride.
Lets take a look at the orioles Top Prospects heading into the 2020 MLB season:
