I took the mid-2002 rosters, played out the '02 and '03 seasons, then took over the Yankees. I moved them to Sudbury, Ontario, renamed them the Elk Hunters. Built them a 6800 seat stadium. Traded away everyone who made over $1 million a year for teenage prospects. Signed Damian Easley, Mark McLemore, and a few other way-over-the-hill players to $15 or $20 million a year contracts. Made them run a 3-man rotation for most of the year. In '04 I successfully taught Nick Johnson to catch. In '05 I moved him to shortstop. Eric Almonte was also moved to catcher in '04.

They ended up 30-132, or thereabouts, and had a 20 game losing streak, and several other 10+ game losing streaks.

And yes, it was fun to destroy the Yankees.
