Thanks, appreciate it.
So far I am succeeding pretty well, but I did it by starting at the bottom. Not too much farther you can fall as Miami 2018.
OTOH, I had few building blocks to work with.
I've done quite a few pretty nice trades and FA pickups.. lots of making lemons from lemonade. I love when I pick up someone's refuse and make it something great or use it in a trade.
Also had some interesting "trade-ups"... NY was desperate for a 1B so I traded them Bour and change for Chad Green and change. He's been rock solid in my pen even though my scout keeps saying he's an SP. In the latest update OSA bumped him to 4.5 stars and now when I shop him the Jays are willing to trade Osuna for him. Wow. Probably a cost thing (Green's not even arbitrarion eligible yet) but while I have a lot of "high stuff" guys, a closer who has actual control and won't walk the bases full of runners might be nice... Green's control is pretty good, not superb. My other bullpen arms are powerful but unreliable.
I tried to change Green to a starter a couple of times. Didn't go well.
The red minuses are unnerving but I figure that's going to happen... especially with the kids. I only have a real issue with the flatly illogical ones like I mentioned above.
