 With the raving success of Be A GM and Be a Pro threads, I thought we should go ahead and answer the question everyone wants to know: How would a full team of Mike Trouts fare against the rest of Major League Baseball. The Team We will build a team of Mike Trout clones. To make sure OOTP can't mess everything up, I will control Team Trout. The rest of the (computer controlled) league is free to make trades/signings/collude until its heart is content but I will simply match my roster full of Mike Trout clones against the 29 other teams in a full season. What about injuires/fatigue/etc? I want to let all the other elements of the league play out as usual, so we are going to need more than 25 Mike Trout clones in order to restock the roster. How many do we need? I am guessing 50 will suffice. A full MLB team of Mike Trout + 24 clones and 25 Mike Trout clones in AAA. The good news is, since we aren't going to alter the clones in any way, that any given clone can be called up to replace any injured clone. This is where you come in I need goons to sign-up to live out their wildest dreams as Mike Trout clones. It would be a hell of a lot more fun if we can track the progress of each Mike Trout over the course of the season, so we need some Goony names to assign to each clone. You can volunteer, to pitch, if you'd like, but we may have to press non cis-pitchers into service to fill-in to pitch because the pitching staff is going to be a real poo poo-show. Pitching I am going to try to make a roster of 11 batters and 14 pitchers to start the season. I'll put the 11 batters on a strict rotation so the 2 reserve clones will play about every other game. Hopefully that will keep fatigue and unnecessary injuries to a minimum. I'll use a 6 man rotation and just try to figure out the bullpen on the fly, or with suggestions from posters.

I just got to opening day and, as a result, OOTP generates preseason predictions based on the opening day rosters of every team... This isn't going to go well. tadashi fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Aug 15, 2018 |
