Okay, we've finally made the switch to 11 and unfortunately a few guys had to drop out because they weren't getting the new game. Here's a little background on the teams
Texas Rangers - The Rangers are a team for someone wanting to rebuild a team from nothing. Their only relevant big leaguers are
Jarrod Saltalamacchia,
Josh Hamilton, and a declining
Michael Young; with Salty being the only one who will be younger than 32 by the all-star break. Sadly, their only prospects of note are
Chad James and the recently drafted
Dee Gordon. Not by the past GM's doing, the Rangers have simply fallen on bad times with draft picks not panning out and players (aside from Hamilton and Young) performing below expectations.
Chicago White Sox - The Sox have some bats:
Sean McCraw,
Diory Hernandez,
Sergio Mirando, and
Brandon Allen; and a nice rotation:
Adam Loewen,
Paul Floyd,
Edinson Volquez, and
Justin Cassel. They also have some nice prospects in
Martín Ayala,
Larry L. Sutton,
Tyler Sample, and
Felipe Ybarra. Though, their top young player,
Anthony Gose, is out until early 2014 after rupturing his achillies during his recovery from a slight tear.
Washington Nationals - The Nats are probably in the best shape of the three with a very good, young core of
Steven Clevenger,
Stephen Chapman,
Anthony Rizzo,
Miguel Cabrera,
Destin Hood,
Carlos Montalvo,
Craig Kimbrel,
Jose Ortegano,
Miguel Núñez,
Derek Holland,
Brad Bergesen, and
Joey Williamson. There isn't much for prospects outside of
Jeffrey Wright and
Anastasio Becerra
