I'll be picking the game up today. I'll be running with my hometown Royals.

Still ticked about that Wil Myers for James Shields trade, but I can't play with any out of towners.

I went to 9 Storm Chasers games last season and Myers hit a homer in every one. The only knock I saw was that he looked like he was scared to attempt sliding catches. Other than that, he was VERY solid. He looks a lot quicker, too, than yo uwould think.

Regarding the reditor lowering of anticipation, how do you guys balance that with draft classes in franchise; wouldn't the randomly generated draft class players have the usual anticipation ratings, thus creating an imbalance in future years.

Game 2 was against the Red Sox, and it was a pitchers game. Josh Johnson was amazing going 5.2 innings allowing 2 H, 1 ER and 10 K. Bucholtz took the loss going 5 innings allowing 4 H, 2 ER and 1 K. The game was tied until the 4th when Encarnacion drilled a 2-Run HR to make it 2-0. Johnson was balling until the last inning when he allowed back to back doubles to Pedroia and Ellsbury to make it 2-1. Janssen came in to get the 1 out save against Big Papi and win it for me ...2-0!

That's easy.
As soon as you're done your draft, you export the rosters to USB key, over to the PC to edit with Reditor II, and then back to the Xbox.
Done!

Cool stuff!
If I can ask, when Encarnacion hit his dinger, did you use power-swing?
