I am gonna follow this, i do wanna give you a word of warning. The first offseason for the tigers is rough. They have alot of high value players and there money will decrease no matter how well you do. I went to the world series in my first year with them and they still decreased me by 10%. So be ready for that.

Also, the graphics on this is amazing.

Yeah, one of the budding questions I am facing right now is who I should keep for the final few spots on the 25 man roster. In saying that, dishing away some of those big contracts to help with that decrease could be a possibility but that's not even in my mind yet. Right now it is just about finishing spring training and getting ready for Opening Day!

Thanks for the follow!
