I wait a few months or so and check everybody's stats and see if there's some guy that is absolutely sucking it up. Edward Mujica had a 7.00 ERA out of the bullpen. Traded him to the Brewers for Alex Gonzalez. Worked out because I had traded an incredibly overrated Furcal (88 overall) for Jared Burton from the Twins (85 overall). Gonzalez was a 78 when I got him and Mujica was an 85. Got rid of Furcal because he was batting .240 and his rating had already fallen to 85 overall. Platooned Gonzalez and Kozma the rest of the year until I got Russell in the offseason.

Started a franchise with the Cubs today..Won in the first game, with a 2-run homer by Stewart in the top of the 9th...Brought in Fukiywaja instead of Marmol for the save, do not trust Marmol and trying to trade him.

So I did a fantasy draft, but with one stipulation. Bring up the Baseball America Top 100 list and draft all the highest rated players. I drafted 5 starters, then filled my bullpen with more starters. If BA didn't have a certain position (for instance there aren't a lot of 2B's on the list, but a lot of SS's), I'd just draft the highest rated at another position and plug them into the other position. Then for positions like closer, I'd just draft the highest rated rookie and not look at BA. I went 25 rounds (to fill my 25 man roster), and surprisingly I didn't get either of the two highest rated catchers, Mike Zunino or Travis D'Arnaud. They were already taken by the time I came around to draft them. But here's my 25 man roster, ended up with 23 of the top 100:

By overall rating, potential in parenthesis:
LF- Oscar Taveras- 83 (A)
SP- Zack Wheeler- 81 (A)
CP- Bruce Rondon- 80 (B)
SP- Dylan Bundy- 79 (A)
RF- Wil Myers- 78 (A)
SP- Gerrit Cole- 77 (A)
2B- Jurickson Profar- 77 (A)
SP- Jose Fernandez- 76 (A)
SP- Shelby Miller- 76 (A)
RP- Trevor Rosenthal- 75 (B)
SS- Xander Bogaerts- 74 (A)
3B- Miguel Sano- 74 (A)
CF- Byron Buxton- 73 (A)
RP- Carlos Martinez- 72 (A)
RP- Jacob Turner- 72 (A)- Not a prospect anymore, but needed more bullpen guys
1B- Mike Olt- 71 (A)
RP- Matt Barnes- 71 (A)
RP- Dixon Llorens- 70 (B)- not a top 100 guy, but needed another reliever
CF- David Dahl- 69 (A)
RP- Tyler Skaggs- 68 (A)
DH- Dan Vogelbach- 67 (B)
C- Austin Hedges- 64 (A)
1B- Jonathan Singelton- 62 (B)
LF- Christian Yelich- 61 (A)
SS- Carlos Correa- 56 (A)

Turned off budgets, so I'm curious to see how this team progresses after a few years of developing.

Update to version 1.21 167 MB

Difficulty fix for ALL Online Modes.

Significant Steal Early exploit in on online game

Online Game soft hangs when pinch hitting or bringing in a reliever past the 7th inning.

Manager mode, the CPU will never setup for double plays. When there are runners on (1st base/1st and 2nd/1st and 3rd/bases loaded) and 0 or 1 outs, the defense would not be in DOUBLE PLAY depth. And turning a double play would result in a looping throw to 2nd base, and the AI would almost never turn the double play. Now, in the runners on base situation, the defense will play in double play depth and gracefully attempt to turn double plays. This previously only affected Manager Mode. Please verify that this change does not affect the general game modes (User vs CPU) in exhibition or season style games

Addressed an issue with completed games in the ticker.
