I Rebuilt the Detroit Tigers

[@vaughnsguitar]

You should do a 20 year rebuild with gm contracts on and you have to switch teams every time the contract is up

[@Monokazie]

Mrhurricane did something similar to this with madden where he gave himself 5 years rebuilt the worst team in the league after 5 years he went to the next worst team and so on

[@TheLegendjx97]

That's a good idea

[@dylanburrows4343]

Love this idea… go to the team that offers him the best money from a new club. Can’t do a club 2X

[@mcgarbage4974]

Tremendous idea

[@illforever4153]

Hall of famer 61 ovr Miggy Cabs took TheAntOrtiz's deep to dead center 462ft! I laughed so hard when the game randomly gave him a god season at 39 with 160 at bats lolzzz great vid as always

[@billyscondoin8796]

Really liked that you kept the core of the team together and added just a couple players. Made it feel more real.

[@HowieSmith14]

PLS do the Mariners!

[@burtsy.]

Gonna only be a 30 min rebuild if hes gonna do mariners hes gonna have to do a realistic rebuild

[@TheLegalEconNerd]

They just need one or two more power bats and 2 starters. They do that and they can beat the astros

[@flyte3449]

Great video Ant, loving the rebuilds this year.

[@garrettbaker863]

Finally, I get to see my team be better

[@illforever4153]

Metoyer was such a cool pick essentially a stud arm that pitches to soft contact which is super realistic and something I haven't seen from a draft pick in this game until then. I looked up last year league leaders in ground ball outs were Framber Valdez Sandy Alcantara Logan Webb Miles Mikolas Ranger Suarez Kyle Wright Shane Bieber Martin Perez Max Fried German Marquez Aaron Nola Adam Wainwright Joe Musgrove

What rosters are you using?? When I did the tigers torkelson was 63 over with the downloaded roster I was using, and yeah playing in that big outfield is not fun tbh I feel like my cf greene is 40 speed but it's just so oversized

[@ryandech7111]

How do I get out of that weird draft screen where it says first second and third priority

[@coltonbervig2210]

When I rebuild I have trouble managing the finances in free agency, and with the draft picks developing. Any tips of developing players?

[@patta6367]

Just a suggestion for when you start your long term franchise, what I do to actually make it through a season is take a pitcher and pitch all of their games for a month. So pitcher #5 for April #4 through may and so on. I skip July because of draft, all star game, and trade deadline. Just a suggestion. You play like 32 games and it keeps it moving along. Maybe two episodes per month?

[@AJRodC]

Heck I’m currently waiting for Torkelson to break out, I’m a fan of his.

[@josephdefilippis07]

I'd love a Twins or Angels rebuild

[@TheeDeadEye]

I understand a Cubs fan with the hate on Javy Baez with seeing him go to the Tigers I was figuring he just hit .200 w/40 HR's and 70 RBI's. For the record he is hitting over .300 in the last 15 games but he is sadly overrated.

[@gdn86]

I put Skubal in single A for the first year, and Mize in single A until around mid-June when hes (at best) projected to return to make it a bit more realistic. I made some trades, but saw some decent stuff from Manning, and Wentz was okay as the LR. Lorenzen I ended up trading at the deadline if I remember, but he replaced Skubal for my rotation and he had decent stats and got me back some B pot prospects. My first year draft I took all SP, and after some moves, got a really young and solid rotation with Skubal, Mize, Manning, Soroka (Braves trade block), and Boyd who pitched really well in the 5th spot after I moved Rodriquez for some prospects. Boyd is 32 so not a long term option, but fills in nicely until one of the young AAA/AA arms is ready. I signed a couple guys for value deals in FA for the bullpen, but I only have 3 guys I trust in my second season. Lineup is garbage after I dumped all the veteran salaries including Baez. I think I got a low B potential infielder for him, but that albatross of a contract is gone. I called up or kept any 70+ overalls with B potential over 21/22 and I actually have won more games than I intended so far. The rotation has been average sub 3.5era, and there is a ton of speed in the lineup, so thats making up for a lot of the issues so far. I have very little power, some decent contact stats, great speed and average defense across the team.

[@gdn86]

Yeah, mine is very different. I used the live rosters which seemed to be the most accurate compared to the vault. I have not found a good roster download yet. I know it took awhile last year, but any recommendations?

[@jeremyintime7212]

Random guess but I think the next rebuild will be the Marlins or Royals. I have a suspicion, don't ask why

[@Individu475]

Aint noooo way the padres accepting that trade in real life

[@doanbot3000]

Poor Javy...if he is a NYY or LAA its a different story...too bad baseball fans and cubs fans treat him as they do...no org signs him as their lone star player...he wasn't the lone one ever one the Cubs. Its unfortunate and disappointing to see truly how many ppl out there really do not understand that in which they love and occupy their time with...

[@TheRockinAwesomeOne]

Always show up for my Tigers rebuilds :)

[@Monokazie]

Ant , you should try to do something like mr hurricane is doing with madden , he simmed into the future 5 years and rebuilt the worst team in the league then after 5 years there he went to the next worst team and so on maybe you could make it a little mini series ? Or just 1 long video of like 3 teams so simming 20 years .

[@fubbydude]

Nice Tigers rebuild! I did the Tatis thing as well and traded him after 1 year, was regressing like crazy. Hopefully doesn't happen to you!

[@roncatto5378]

I had my first ever mlb the show 23 draft bust. Scouts said he was 76-92 potential and ability. Was 65 D potential. 😂😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@TheAntOrtiz]

I'll start sprinkling in more realistic rebuilds. Feel like there wasn't much change in this rebuild. Bullpen was main one & wild tatis trade. 9 players in lineup were Tigers from start. Starting pitching mainly Tigers too. I do get most rebuilds are unrealistic. But feel like teams have gotten more wild in real life too. Padres have constant changes, some trades we're seeing, etc. So feel like it isn't the wildest for me to completely change a team in a 4 season span.
