Cane I think when scouting make sure you’re looking at the top 18 year olds for a chance at generational talents. We all know that’s the only thing that could help the A’s (heck, the generational player could even be the highest rated player on your team as soon as you draft him)
The game has a way of making you priortize 1 thing or the other... its either 18 yr olds who can be generational talents. If they arent they are like 3-5 yrs away.. if you want guys who can help right away, its b rated guys who are like 22 yrs old.. the game makes u pick ur poison.. i like that..
Yes. I think Adolpho Cairo (18 year old CF from Puerto Rico) might be one. He's projected in the 50's (draft range) but generational prospects aren't always projected high.
@@tstumpf75people just need to check the ratings more , guys with really high future ratings have high potential and then their current ratings are all red don’t draft them they’ll take 5 years , generational prospects current ratings are like all 60’s for hitting or pitching then their future is all 80+ lit up green it’s super easy to find them , and the 18 year olds are stacked in middle rounds you can find plenty B potential guys that are like 68+ ready in a few years , just gotta check the current ratings don’t draft guys that don’t have at least some yellow in their ratings .
no its not tradeing every singal good player we have had like aaron juge and sean murphy matt chapman and matt olson max muncy to also sadly i am a a's fan
First, I love your draft strategy in general. The only thing I would tweak is prioritizing 18 year olds for the chance of generational talents. One hit makes up for a lot of misses due to wider ranges in potential. Second, regarding player management, I feel like flipping your saves leader at the deadline, plus Blackburn and Diaz is the minimum. Anyone with 3+ years of service time is a luxury this team can’t afford.
As the Oaklands A’s GM you gotta try out every reliever as a closer and see if you can boost their value to trade them for prospect. If a veteran is having a career year? Trade them. If someone is due for a pay raise? Trade them
Cane, I know others have said this, but Ken Willis looks like he could be a starter. His stamina range is already 75-89 with a potential of 78-92. Also…a rating range of 77-91 already is nuts. He looks like a cant miss starter.
Well the good thing about having almost zero future players is that the young guys u draft should get a nice opportunity to make an impact at some point
Hey Cane, I've got a small idea I think you might like: whenever you create a custom stadium, you should create a custom pitching camera too. Every team has their own unique pitching camera angle and I think making your own would add an extra bit of flavor to the series.
Imo, Pat McCain should be your top pick. He looks to be closer to MLB ready and has potential superstar ratings in every category. If nothing else he'll be a strong hitter and he can always play 3rd or 2nd if the fielding doesn't pan out
Did you see Adolpho Cairo (CF from Puerto Rico, he's ranked in the 50's)? You need to scout him, he has insanely high potential. No joke you may have to consider him at your first pick, definitely get him to 100%
Hey not a huge huge request but it would be cool in this series to attempt to match the streak. It’s been something that has happened a few times in the Athlete’s history since Beane and for me with the 2012 season it was special. I just imagine finishing the Moneyball idea, winning with such a small budget. It’s something I do annually. Thanks for the series.
A tip for scouting is when you’re scouting an individual player. Put them as your first priority so they gain more interest in your team. It’ll make things easier come the time you need to sign them!
Also Cane, in keeping with the narrative, when do you think you'll jump into the stadium creator? Maybe once the team is on the cusp so that they can open their first true season of contention in a new home?
Watching your games I have some advice. Pay attention to your opposing outfield defenders. If you have a runner on first base and you get a hit to the outfield. If your runner has at leat 50-55 speed and the defender has a weak-average arm, you should be running 1st-3rd almost every time. Just a little friendly tip for ya
Love the videos. This season is a painful watch but it will get better. Your RF is a good ball player, get at least 2 prospects for him, we need players for next season.
My luck is bad, Laureano dislocated his ankle, gone. Peterson Torn MCL gone. Lol shit luck first half of the season. Oh Peterson got hurt twice, forgot to mention so he is gone for me next year.
Gotta say while Laureano would be good trade bait, you might want to consider hanging onto him as a rebuilding piece as he seems like a solid enough player. But, then again, if you can get a good haul with something like some really high draft picks it might be worth it. Just my two cents. In the meantime take care and I look forward to many more episodes yet to come.
I like seeing the scouting portions of the game, those are usually some of my favorite bits of running a franchise. In my NBA2K franchise modes I always trade everyone off for draft picks and then rebuild the team with all CPU-generated players that I scouted, so I like that as a focus for your A's team. Go for the generational talents as often as ya can, soon you'll be stacked with a Griffey Jr and Randy Johnson and Alex Rodriguez! I don't know the CPU trade logic with MLB The Show-- can you trade for bad contracts with draft picks attached to help other teams save money? In real life, NBA teams regularly do this (I know the NBA more than MLB is why I use the NBA as an example), but NBA 2K's trade logic unfortunately doesn't really reflect that reality. Your payroll is so cheap, you could afford to absorb some bad contracts as long as it's sweetened with juicy draft picks. If that's not how MLB the Show works, at least you'll be able to get more picks by trading some of your decent dudes away.
You probably shouldn’t draft a reliever before like the 10th round. Especially with the shape your team is in. You should only focus on the bullpen once everything else is put together.
Have you considered relocating? Or at the very least creating a new stadium in Oakland? Everyone says Vegas but I think Portland, San Jose, or Salt Lake City would be cool and unique.
Hey man down in double a should be Gunnar Hogland he's actually pretty decent and you should consider bringing him up and trade Laureono for some bullpen depth.
If you aren't using the PCI because you want a more simulation feel that's cool. But otherwise if you go to hitting settings you'll find much more success in using the PCI
Yea especially since most of those players won't be a part of the future or c and below potential. At this pace it's going to take a long time to get into season 2 and 3 when we really start to see the future and improvements.
As Bill James (the father of Analytics) said "Tanking is an idiot strategy." As much as I like the idea of trading anyone of any value for prospects, the best rebuild is one that spares the fans of the most suffering while still taking them to the promised land in the end.

He needs his own Griffey Jr. Essentially

The good news is that your 0.291 win percentage is currently better than the real life A's (0.200; 2-8)!
glass half full mentality
Bad news is I lost a bet on opening day for the angels to beat the athletics lol

As an A’s fan, I completely agree with your advice. It’s painful…. But it has to be done.
Ramón Laureano's playing himself into getting us an A-potential prospect!

He can’t sign a million free agents to block them in this franchise either, unlike the Rockies franchise

The Coliseum removed its 3rd deck tarps 5 years ago. I’m really surprised The Show hasn’t updated their stadium model after all this time.
I will say, Ken Willis has 73-79 stamina, so you could change him from a reliever to a starter if you wanted to draft him.

This has been the most fun series to watch while I grind runescape for a few hours at night. Subscribed now
A legend has uploaded
I absolutely love thos series, easily the best franchise series on RUclips. Hope it goes on forever
Have a day Ramon Laureano. Glad the As are starting to look like they belong in the MLB. One of my favorite teams from a historical standpoint
Cane! remember i told you i was going to Grayson Rodriguez' home debut today? well i caught a foul ball that he pitched!!! LOL im so hyped.
Also Cane, in keeping with the narrative, when do you think you'll jump into the stadium creator? Maybe once the team is on the cusp so that they can open their first true season of contention in a new home?
That would make the most sense I think.
🔥 Canes cover photo thing for his videos are hella underrated 🔥
Your one of the guys that made me love video game content since 2017. Keep being great bro.

Can’t get enough of this franchise. Loving it Cane!
Love the videos. This season is a painful watch but it will get better. Your RF is a good ball player, get at least 2 prospects for him, we need players for next season.
You can always test out auto-fielding, and anything else, during streams to get live feedback.
ken willis looks like he could be a good starter as he has good hits walks, and control along with good stamina
Great vid cane!!
Ramone took the trade rumors to heart
My luck is bad, Laureano dislocated his ankle, gone. Peterson Torn MCL gone. Lol shit luck first half of the season. Oh Peterson got hurt twice, forgot to mention so he is gone for me next year.
May need a remix to a Carrie Underwood song, Jesús has the Wheels!
Fujinami with the 189 ERA in that blowout 😂

But, then again, if you can get a good haul with something like some really high draft picks it might be worth it. Just my two cents.

Thanks for making this series. I'm new to baseball and this is helping me understand how to play the game.
I think boosting certain players potential like Diaz and Blackburn will make the series better so they aren’t just playing well for no reason
I found a reliable reliever Anthony Kay from Chicago he would be pretty easy to get
thoughts on making the picture view a little closer ?
This time might be able to get to 70 wins... a big surprise on my part. I agree with sending the young guys back down to develop properly.
Loving this series
If we trade our best hitter we need prospects in return to stock our farm system

If Ken Willis really has stamina like that, then he’s a starter and not a reliever. Could be why he’s so high on the board
You have a triple A team you can use if you need some fresh arms, I know they might suck but it's better than a tired reliever
Astros Kyle Tucker holy moly does he look tall in the batters box.
Hey hurricane what settings do you use? I want my games to play like yours
What difficulty do you play on? Offensively and pitching
You could look at free agents for a SP for the rest of the year so you can have stability and not waste options?
You probably shouldn’t draft a reliever before like the 10th round. Especially with the shape your team is in. You should only focus on the bullpen once everything else is put together.
The game doesn’t have 10+ rounds in the draft
@@ogreman2229 well then I would honestly forgo relievers altogether in this draft unless one you love falls to the last few rounds
Please no auto defense your a good enough player I get the want for rating but cpu fields trash and you can do better
the title of the video reads like an email from the owner of the a's to the manager
I do love how there can be 18 year old kids with thick majestic beards.
Aaron Don could be a generational player. There can be 1 or 2 in a draft. Im pretty sure they have to be 18 out of high school.
Watching this episode the day after an official scorer took the win away from Jeurys Familia for his "short and ineffective outing"
Glad you got a nice offensive game for once. You deserve it
Cane, i started a rockies franchise and we lost 14 to 23 to the nats
As an A's fan, idek why I'm watching this. It's even more depressing than real life 😞😂
Have you considered relocating? Or at the very least creating a new stadium in Oakland? Everyone says Vegas but I think Portland, San Jose, or Salt Lake City would be cool and unique.
Cane probably wishes all the pitches he sees were all that easy to hit 😂😂😂!!
Everything that happened in this episode will never happen again lol. Wow what an episode
A reliever and or a closer is an end at the first round at best
The 7th inning of game 2 on the stream should've made the cut
Hey man down in double a should be Gunnar Hogland he's actually pretty decent and you should consider bringing him up and trade Laureono for some bullpen depth.
I’m not going to tell you to take a prospect but what I am going to say is there’s not trade ups it’s ok to reach
Meter would be better for pitching but if you are being ratings reliant I understand
When it comes to relief pitching just trade old low potential players for relivers or even starters and move them to the bullpen
If you hold L1 you are able to advance all base runners
189 Era is insane
When is the next video?
Is Laureano on peds again
If you aren't using the PCI because you want a more simulation feel that's cool. But otherwise if you go to hitting settings you'll find much more success in using the PCI
It's about player ratings
Yeah he does it for the simulation
If you are on Next Gen, you should create a new stadium for the A’s next season
Doing a twins MTO and I have the Yankees in the ALDS…
U should post them?
I honestly get scared for you when you go to the bullpen
Aguilar 2 triples on the year 👌😂
Bright side. You have as many wins as the Rays.
PLEASE play less games and sim more! I want to be invested in this series but its too slow paced.
Yea especially since most of those players won't be a part of the future or c and below potential.
At this pace it's going to take a long time to get into season 2 and 3 when we really start to see the future and improvements.
“Our Don, Aaron Don”
Mariners tanking.. your team inspires them to be even more terrible. Still fun to watch.
Maybe trade Laureano to a fringe playoff team like Miami
So y’all using trash can system?
The rays are 11 and 0
As Bill James (the father of Analytics) said "Tanking is an idiot strategy."
As much as I like the idea of trading anyone of any value for prospects, the best rebuild is one that spares the fans of the most suffering while still taking them to the promised land in the end.
