San Diego Padres Franchise

[Tubbs1518]

I started one on MLB 2k13 and fantasy drafted. I went with good young pitching and young average and double hitters in my lineup. With the big pitchers park I thought average and double hitters would be a better idea than going for a lot of power.

I mainly post this to see what you thought HD. You think that is the best strategy for SD? There are a couple trades I wanna make. SD's budget isn't real big so I have a lot of young young guys.

Their strategy has been to go for value first and foremost, maximize the return and then let the Red Sox or Yankees pay them. Speed on the basepaths is also crucial for small ball and covering the outfield. I would focus on a speedy leadoff hitter who has good OBP. They shortened right-field so if you can find a second-tier power hitter who likes going to right at a good value he might be good for the 4-hole.

Off the top of my head here are some of the guys on the team.

Matt Harvey and Jose Fernandez are my #1 and #2 pitchers.

Desmond Jennings is the leadoff man right now. Evan Gattis is my catcher. Manny Machado is my 3B. Yasiel Puig is one of my OF. I'll post my full lineup and pitching rotation in a little bit.
