i replayed the 2015 season as the Nats, and blew up the team in July after being about 12 games out of first (behind Atlanta of all teams). One frustration is that the iOOTP roster doesn't include Turner, he's still on San Diego and they want Harper for him.
I traded away Scherzer, Gio, Werth, Escobar, and Span. At the end of the season I let Desmond and Fister walk but extended JZ on a 4/$80 million deal. I signed Cueto, and O'Day in the 2015-16 off-season. Payroll is about $132 million of a $200 million budget.
I'm going into 2016 with a rotation of Strasburg, JZ, Cueto, Trienan, and Cole. Bullpen is largely unchanged, with Storen, Stammen, Roark, Janssen, Thornton, Jordan, and O'Day.
My starting lineup:
Manuel Margot - a 21 year old CF acquired from Boston for Span, Barrett and Drew Ward
Juan Segura - SS - acquired from Milwaukee for Scherzer - basically a salary dump
Harper - RF
Rendon - 3B
Zimmerman - 1B
Taylor - LF
Ramos - C
DJ LeMahieu - 2B (acquired from CO for Gio)
So far 2-1 in the 2016 season.
