Most Difficult Team in OOTP17

Id think itd be the Padres with long term commitments like Kemp Shields Kimbrel and Upton Jr. They also have basically no farm, and even their top prospects have lost their shine. At least they have a top ten pick, so they might be active in free agency and they wont be the hardest team for the newest OOTP. Thoughts?

Hard to say. OOTP 17 will incorporate everything that happens in the coming off season. I'd think it will be the Marlins because they not only traded the cream of their farm system, they have traded the players they sold the prospects for. The 2015 season will set Miami back for years to come.

The Reds would have to get serious consideration. They lost 14 out of their last 15 games to end the season, had an all-rookie rotation (Bailey was out all year), and large contract commitments to Votto, Phillips, and Bailey in a small market doesn't give them very much flexibility to turn the roster over and best prospects are still probably a year or two away.

Yes but they have some really good prospects coming. Jesse winker, robert stephenson and whatever haul they get from aroldis chapman. The padres best prospect is hunter renfroe who is a poor mans kemp , anfter that theres no one
