Which team will you manage with the new rosters? - Page 3

I'll do what I usually do, which is sim ahead a season, expand my league to Costa Rica, slash my budget, schedule no expansion draft, and stock my team with ten Rule 5 picks and fifteen minor league free agents. That's not even a rebuilding project, that's just a plain old building project.

Should be fun this year, since those 16 year old international free agents offer you another rebuilding strategy to try to balance, financially, with your amateur draft signings, FA signings, development budget, scouting spending, etc.

Gotta go with my Mariners...interesting acquisitions in Morales/Morse and challenges with several position (SS, OF, 3B, and man SP outside of Felix) and a lot of prospects I really like...

Enough solid talent in place and rising...just need to manage it properly and hope it turns out...

Will keep checking my e-mail for that link to get started.

normally I start unemployed at the age of (my real birthday!) and work my way up. I bought 2011 and 2012 and took a year off because imo 12 was an amazing game. But this year I am definitely going Giants.

I am from Michigan so I get a ton of strange looks from family and friends wearing my black and orange 59-50 but I gotta stay with my team! Been a fan since 2005 and have been loyal ever since!

I have to postpone getting this for a couple weeks. But I think I'm would just import my Astros franchise from 13. I'm a Tigers fan, and growing up in GR, I used to watch the Cubs on off days, and living in Tampa for 8 years, I grew to like the Rays. Those are my 3 teams, which is why I'll never use them. Too easy to allow my fandom to interfere with my decision making, which is also why, on the other end, I will never do the Yankees, Red Sox, or White Sox (too tempting to tank them).

I love my Dodgers, but I have two careers I wanna try.

1. I wanna take the Yankees and get rid of EVERYONE and by that I mean everyone not named Jeter and Rivera. Gotta keep the old guard. But, Grandy, ARod, Tex, Cano... GONE!!!!! I will try to acquire Profar, Olt and Leonys Martin from Texas, Martin will be in CF, Profar at 2b for now and Olt at 3b and I will try and steal Rizzo from the Cubs. I am going to rebuild and restock that horrible minor league system.

2. and finally CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!!
