With the close of 2015 season, 3 job opportunities appeared for me to take over. The Minnesota Twins, Texas Rangers & Boston Red Sox all let go of their GMs. I thought about doing the Twins but I have seen a few dynasties with them and I just couldn't make myself be the Red Sox so I chose the Rangers. They way underperformed and still have a great core of young talent so this isn't a tear down/rebuild sort of thing. It's add a few things here or there and get this machine whirling.

The big news to kick off the offseason was the announcement that that DH was being removed from the American League. I left League Evolution on and am accepting what ever madness they inflict on the league this is a big one to kick things off. At first I was a little pissed as I like having a DH purely because it's one less roster cut for the lineup but since I manage every game as well it's definitely more fun when the pitcher's involved. Will be interesting to see as this dynasty marches on what wild things League Evolution adds to the fray.

The heart of this team is already here in the form of SS Jurickson Profar, 2B Rougned Odor & 3B Joey Gallo. All 3 are very young and under control for a bit. They will make the foundation of this lineup for the years to comes. As for the rotation Yu Darvish is the clear ace. He is coming off a pretty serious injury which has dropped his stamina some. I still expect him to be THE guy of the rotation. I am going to look to add another ML arm to help this season as I do have a few solid SP prospects in Alexander 'Chi Chi' Gonzalez, Nick Martinez & Jake Thompson but I don't think any of them are ready to take the mound every 5 days in the Show
