I can understand why people that use teams like Yankees or Red Sox would rather just skip spring training, but teams like the A's need that in order to figure out the lineup.

    By the way, how is Eric Chavez doing for you? Are you giving him a chance in spring training? Because it is a game and not real life, thus no shoulder or back injuries, you won't be disappointed with his defense. He would make a great backup, and hits righties pretty well. While he isn't Aroid, he can certainly hold his own as a backup
    Absolutely! I love Chavez - always have! He's playing decently, certainly isn't tearing it up like he has been for the Yankees in real life. He'll make the team for sure.

    I just love playing with the Yankees because I've been such a diehard fan my entire life - so especially this year it's going to be a joy to see how everything unfolds in-game.

    Once OSFM is out, I'll be restarting this (it's just to hold me over for now) and I know that I want to start a franchise with either the Braves, Royals, or Nationals, along with my Yankees. It'll be a ton of fun for me.

      12-14 after my first month. The Yankees are coming to Detroit for 4 games. Should be fun, have to avenge my opening series loss

        2-4 with the Brewers. I can't hit for anything. Grienke has been a disappointment. 0-2 with an ERA over 9. May make Gallardo the staff ace. My Bullpen is equally bad. Close games become blowouts in innings 7, 8 and 9. One more game against Atlanta then 3 against Chicago before a 9 game road trip.

          *** **** I frigging suck. 0-3 so far, I've mustered up 3 runs total in those games, and I've given up 8, 7, and 6 runs in each of those games.

          I always have a hard time hitting at first, but my pitching's usually decent. Maybe the Twins just have awful starters? I'll make 1 mistake in the field and it always costs me, and when I get runners on I can never push them home. Haven't even gone yard yet. ****.

            I'm starting to go crazy. I can't hit anymore. I'm averaging like 3 hits a the past week. I crushed the ball the first few weeks.

              Another game, another HR for Jesus Montero.

              I did complete a trade for Scott Baker (Twins) - I sent Joba Chamberlain and catching prospect Austin Romine. Baker proceeded to pitch 6.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2K. I figure if I'm not going to continue with this franchise once OSFM comes out, I might as well have some fun with it! Romine didn't have a chance with Gary Sanchez and Jesus Montero - he was expendable.

                Just finished up my series versus Toronto and got the SWEEP baby!. Agon Crawford are going crazy both hitting over .380. Crawford also has 12 stolen bases in 15 games. Currently at 9-6, tied with the Yanks for first place. For some reason, I cannot hit with. Pedroia or Youk. I am crushing the ball with Agon, Crawford and Ortiz. I also forgot to tell you guys that Lowrie won the starting SS job in ST. I also moved Ellsbury to the 9 hole and crawford leads off.

                  Greatest game I've ever played in... 16 innings. So much pure defense, with the mix of offense. A thriller for sure

                    Opening day of my Rangers franchise and I beat Boston 3-2 in 15 innings. Won off a walk off double. Crazy game. I struck out 16 guys but Boston had 15 hits. Announcer said it was a 4 hr 18 min game.

                        Ryan Zimmerman is absolutely destroying me.

                        He had two solo homers and the Nats had five homers total in an 8-7 loss for my Braves on Opening Day. He went deep two more times with four more RBIs in a 10-3 loss in game two. I may just intentionally walk him every time he's up in the series finale.

                        The last couple of editions of MLB, it seemed like every game I played ended up 2-1 or 3-2, so it's nice to see a little offense so far in 11. But I need to get my pitching fixed ASAP.

                            Since I traded Young and a SP for Dunn. This line up is nasty. Just won 12-2 against Boston.

                              I need help guys. Can't figure out if I should do a 1 team chise or a 30 team chise. I hate that when you do a 1 team the AI screws up the lineups (pretty bad too, Ive gone through and looked at em) once the season starts. However, I also hate that when I do 30 team and set the lineups/rotations to manual, it notifies me for EVERY AAA/AA lineup that is invalid (which there are TONS constantly popping up). Also, the ticker doesnt work with 30 team, unless you sim the games first and see the results. What do you guys use 1 team or 30 team control? And if you could get into details with some of the settings you use I would really appreciate it. I dont mind the AI messing with the lineups during a season, but Manny hitting second for the Rays is a little much. Thanks!!
