-I will be playing the first game of every series, and the fourth game in any four game series. For divisional matchups I will play the first, and sim the second. If my record is 2-0 or 0-2 in the first two games I will sim the third. If the series is at 1-1 I will play the third game trying to get a series win. Playoffs I will play each game. I will post updates with every major trade in the league, monthly standings and league leaders, and for my team updates after each series.

Authors note: I am not a big follower of Major League Baseball, so this franchise wont exactly be from a baseball purists standpoint. I will do my best to keep everything realistic, as that is what I do in every sports game I have. As far as rosters go, I do not really know major prospects outside of a couple guys, so you might end up seeing names of guys on my team that aren't real players without me realizing it. If you see someones name that isn't right at a position and you know a real prospect at that position let me know so I can get the name right on my guy.
