Welcome to the Detroit Tigers Rebuild!!
In 2019, the Detroit Tigers were a MLB worst 47-114 (tied for 16th worst since 1900 based on win percentage).
So I am going to re-sim the 2019 season and see how much more competitive I can make the Tigers and rebuild them going forward.
I should mention, I am going to be GM only, but I will use "player strategy" to force starts at certain positions (especially for promising prospects).
I am using challenge mode and here are few of the "game settings" I like to use.
-I set scouting reports monthly
-I set rating>max to yes
-I set potential
-I keep all the box scores and game logs
-I keep all the news, injuries and transactions
-Turn on "show personalities on profile page
-Turn off suspensions (personal preference)
-Talent change randomness to 125 (for added difficulty)
-I keep all career L/R split, fielding stats and postseason stats
-AI lineup selection to "Sabermetric"
-"Trading of recently drafted players" to "Next offseason"
-AI trading frequency to Low
-I turned off expansion/relocation/team changes for 2019, but will turn on prior to start of 2020 season
-Turned off Rainout (personal preference)
-Set international amateur free agents to "few" (even though in 2019 it will generate over 300 players regardless
-Turn off internation scouting discoveries (personal preference)
-Set international establishes free agents to "few"
Thanks for clicking on the thread! If you like what I am doing please leave a comment and I'll keep posting.
Next post will be an update of the team before I start the sim.
