Not sure. I'm still looking for 'My Team' ie, looking for the team I want to support IRL. Might start a save as the Indians or the Braves.

has to be the tigers for me. see when we are expected to be good again. lots of young interesting talent in the minors and obviously top 5 farm system should make it easy. but this is ootp. nothing is guaranteed

I was about to say Brewers but then my indecisiveness got the best of me.

Do I go Brewers, or do I randomly pick a team, either between all 30 or non-playoff teams?

For my MLB The Show franchise I'm still deciding If I want to control the Brewers, White Sox, or both (I want to play all 28 other teams and play in all 30 parks, but I like playing every single game) so I have some tough decisions to make about my playing future for both games.

I start every year doing a 30 year modern day set up sim. At the end of the sim I only look at teams that have offered me a GM job that year. At that point I look at the team that has been the least successful over the last 30 years with ties taking a look to 40 years back.

I use the 2-8 scale, Low trade / Favor prospects, and draft pool revealed 200 days out. I will also do some sort of divisional realignment as the game will have expanded by two to six teams in the 30 simmed years. That also means setting up a custom playoff, but noting to outlandish. Four Division winners and two, sometimes 3 wildcards.

For years I did the Cubs, but eventually grew frustrated as my Cubs outperformed the real world Cubs every year. Then Theoyer and friends came along and the rest they say is history.

I have a few baseball teams that I enjoy immensely. Its gonna be a tossup of Chicago White Sox (Yoan Moncada !!) or Tampa Bay Rays =)

At the moment, I'm leaning towards the Rays.. I'm really like the idea of hoping gargantuan infielder Yandy Diaz having a breakout year.

I feel like having a real challenge! 1969's Expos will be my first start! Even though I've already done that lately in XX, it will help me see the differences in XX vs 21.
