Play out every game, in MGR-only mode. Adds to the challenge.

Having a REALLY hard time figuring out who to take in '19, though. Most of the posts on here about "who to play as" are for GM's. If you like MGR-only, the Orioles, Tigers, Marlins are not exactly going to be fun. I think the ideal MGR-only teams are ones expected to win 82-88 games and see if you can get it over the top. Taking on BOS/NYY/LAD is not exactly a test of your Casey Stengel chops to make the playoffs, now is it?

I think the Cardinals could be a great team to do MGR-only this year, but I watch 162 games of theirs and can never get past what the real life team is doing versus mine - eg, If Ozuna is batting .350 IRL and .250 in my game, I get all messed up in what I am thinking! Managed the Giants for a number of years, but that would not exactly be fun in '19....or '20 or '21.....
