I'd like to throw my cap into the ring. Solid start from what I have read so far. I am a newbie to ootp, but gotta say this game is a dream come true. Lamenting the loss of MVP on my PC is over. I request the small market Padres if no takers yet.
Just to be clear, as a newbie you can count on me to RTFM and be a reliable GM within the league. A 500 page manual cannot stop me from positioning the Padres as a perennial powerhouse in the NL west.
As long as we beat the Dodgers, it will be a good year.
