Post subject:  MLB The Show 15 Retro Roster Project (In-Progress)

With what's available to me on the Vita, I've gone back to my roster-making roots on a two-year old game. Why? I guess because my interest in baseball has been reinvigorated and I felt like doing more franchises in the Show. This creation process has led to some interesting exhibition games and hopefully will spring into a file eventually (when I feel like it is nigh-perfect lol).

What is it based on? Players near their prime returning to original teams mixed with current-day stars, prospects, fictional players, NPB talent, Success creations, MLB2K myths, legends, redemption for busts, and more - as I think of new twists and ways to spin it. I think that as a finished product, this will keep the franchise fresh and provide a ton of depth and intrigue to all 30 clubs. At the very least, dream teams can come together for a classic matchup with what I have done now.

I wanna know what you guys think, and if I'm missing anybody to add in the aforementioned categories.

did we just forget that Adam Jones existed or

also maybe add Tanner Scott to the Orioles' minor-league pitching pool? dude throws like 100 from the left side, so that's cool. not a Huge Prospect, but still

also also holy shit that Giants catching depth. Posey/Molina/Bresnahan is like, Really *(censored)* Good (although Molina actually! wasn't that good, ever)

Erik Bedard would be on the Orioles list over Brian Matusz

no! Adam Jones goes to the Mariners. A lot of times even if the player didn't spend most of their time (or their best years) with that team, I like to put them there to mix things up. That usually means returning them to the team they developed with or were a farmhand for, but can also mean where they had the most success - depending on the situation. Or to make it, say, an imaginary scenario like "what would have happened if he stayed with Seattle?".

thank u for the suggestion! I'll give him a look.

hmm understood. I think I had Bedard on Seattle still, forgetting one of my rules where if there was a trade the members should return to the original teams if it makes sense. If Jones is on SEA, Bedard returns to BAL and so on (plus he had his Cy Young year there).

thanks for pointing that out.
