I did something similar, I simmed out the first 3 seasons, then took over Tampa Bay. Now 5 seasons into running Tampa, my team is in first place and the Fan Support has gone from the low of 13 now up to 46 and climbing. I actually sold out a couple of games too, a far cry from the 18000 the team was averaging when I took it over. I am also doing this right now with a 27 million payroll. Hopefully the Market will continue to grow, it improved from Almost Nonexistent to Tiny last season.

But I agree once the team is a viable contender for a period of time and I win a Series with them it will be off to the worst team in the league and try to rebuild them, well unless it is a New York team, and the Mets were one of the worst in the league for last few years.
