With dropbox you would want to move the entire OOTP Baseball 14 folder (of which saved_games is a subfolder). OOTP can only look in one place for the data files it uses, so the whole folder has to go in dropbox.
With sugarsync you can leave all the data in the default places and just it to sync the folders that tend to have changes.
The benefit I found to doing it this way is (a) obviously you always automatically have your league backed up in the cloud and (b) whenever a game is saved, the existing saved game files don't get overwritten and lost the way they do on your hard drive, but rather they are stored hidden in the cloud as previous versions of the files. So if you screw up your league and then save it, you can go to dropbox and go back through all the previous versions and grab the version immediately before the mistake was made (as opposed to going back to the last time you manually backed up your league). Hope that makes sense.
