I think that Twins team might be the toughest team to play in OOTP 13. No tradeable assets -- fewer than real life with Span and Liriano not as good as they are performing now, and no real talent at all in the minors and other players like Plouffe and Diamond who have poor ratings, but were nice finds mid-season in real life.

Almost impossible to win with them and tough to rebuild because all you've got are the picks.

What's up guys! I'm making good progress with my Cubs dynasty, all my young stars are coming up right now and I signed some FA such as Ichiro and Hamels!

You can read about my dynasty if you're interested, link is in my sig down below.

More importantly, how is everyone else's games going?!

December saw us trade Bryan LaHair the expendable 1B with Rizzo's performance in the 2013 season to the Columbus Blue Claws for RF Will Venable. In a minor deal Gerardo Concepcion (SP) moved to Cleveland for SP Jeanmar Gomez.

The big deal was on December 9th as Free Agent SP Josh Johnson signed a 6 year deal for $114,000,000 and immediately become the ace at the top of the rotation.
Christmas Eve we signed Yohan Flande (SP) to a one year deal and in February we signed RF Michael Burgess to a 1 year deal.

Spring Training was a success in the fact we finished second (13-11) behind the Cardinals (15-9).

Pre season predictions see us winning the division with a 89-73 record. Other divisional winners are Tampa Bay, Minnesota, Los Angeles (A), Washington & Los Angeles (N). Worst team predicted as the Columbus Blue Claws.
