Under the surface however is a depleted farm system and a big league club showing age, and beginning to crack. Without careful handling a swift and hard fall is possible.
Taking over the Orioles, a nice club in need of a big star. Average size market but up against some behemoths in the A.L. East
Taking over a dreadful Cubs team in need of a total overhaul. Resources however are plenty and good management could have the Cubs competitive within a couple of seasons. Plus there's that curse thing...

The White Sox with an over-bloated payroll, a puppet as mgr, no fanbase, no minor leagues, 3 underachieving over paid starters, 1 main free agent SP and 1 guy that could leave or will get traded if SP stays.
Out of your team choices i say Baltimore.
