I am getting ready to take a GM position for the 2018 season and I was really wanting to take the Astros. I simmed the 2017 season and, believe it or not, they lost to the Dodgers in 7 games (cue Twilight Zone music).
Anyway, since they are the AL Champs, would it be chicken to take the Astros as good as they are instead of taking the challenge of a bad team? Is that "cheating?" Am I taking the easy way out? I mean there are RL situations where managers are about to walk into sweet jobs (Yankees, Nats). So is joining an already good team a cop out on a real challenge?

Thoughts? Opinions?
