I will be importing my franchises that started with Out of the Park 16 - Chicago Cubs (my team for the past 25 years), and my 1909 Chicago Cubs (trying to shorten the drought from the other end since this end still hasn't had much luck).

St Louis.

Unsure if I will go with the current year or historical.

I have also thought about using the Historical Exhibition Option to run an All Cardinal tournament to determine which year had the best team.

Current day Tigers, finally some prospects in the system and a high draft pick. Hoping to unload a contract or two!

The team: 1901 New York Giants

Why?: Christy Mathewson and it will be the 7th iteration of OOTP I will do that with.

i tend to restart my games with this team as well. Mathewson and Davis! (i started with 13 ...) But other times when i decide to start over (i seldom get past 1950 before i decide to change something fundamental) i go with the worst team and see if i can build a team that's competitive. (it works once in a while.)

But most likely when 17 comes out, it'll be the Giants because they are my favorite team and this IS an even year .... Posey and the boys have an obligation!

I'll be importing the game I've just started. I've got the whole OOTP world running (MLB, Japan, Cuba, Holland, Australia etc, plus all the independent leagues) and have started out as manager only at Rimini in Italy and want to see if I can make it to the MLB. If I make it to the majors I think at that point I'll change to GM/Manager to run the whole franchise.

Currently in the first season and have managed to finish top in the regular season and set to enter the play offs next.

I always start with the Blue Jays and the current year. Had some real bad years but the sunny days are back with the stacked allstar players on the team for 2016 and they are predicted to get at least a wild card. Playoffs are fun to be in right off the bat for a change instead of having to rebuild for a few years with the previous rosters. Hopefully they rate my players properly.

I'll probably just continue my fictional league. I've been playing it for 43 game years across 3 OOTP versions. But, I usually do try a current MLB setup, so I'll probably pick the White Sox (because they are my favorite team). If not maybe the Cubs (I'm a Chicago fan).

I'll start with Boston since their my team.

Looks like my first moves will be to cut some long term payroll if I can.

I'll start with the Rockies because they're my team. I may start right after the 2007 season when they went to the World Series and see if I can't do better than they've actually done since then.
