Angels, Rangers, or Mariners

Angels - The idea of having the best rotation in the AL is intriguing, and obviously the addition of Pujols (and healthy Morales) gives them instantly a top tier 3-4 punch. I also like the youngsters Bourjos, Trumbo, Trout, and Conger. They also finally have a major league level catcher now in Ianetta, and Kendrick and Aybar are solid all around players. Should be fun.

Rangers - Their offense is simply fun to use. When they're all healthy, they have like 7 guys that can smack 25+ homeruns, lol. I also like their stadium, and their rotation is sneaky good even though people always perceive it as their weakness. Plus they have Darvish now who could make them better. Either way, there's a reason they made back to back world series appearances. That in itself is hard to do, even if you lost both times.

Mariners - I don't like them and think their prospects and youngsters are overrated. But for some reason I just love playing in Safeco, and I like the city a lot since I've been there a couple of times. Haha, has nothing to do with baseball, but I just like them for that reason. Plus, it will be a challenge to face the Angels and Rangers, two of the top 4 AL teams.

Wait... why do you think the prospects are overrated?

Yeah i'd like to know too. We have a 19 year old pitcher who is rated 17 in all of the prospects, 17! and he's only 19, gonna be a boss.

Re: Team you're looking foward to pick in Mlb The Show 12? and why?

For me I'm going to be doing some exhibiton games to look at all of the new upgrades, watch some CPU vs. CPU games to see the TruPresentation at work with all of the in between pitches camera cuts, look at the beauty of the stadiums and check out the new stadium in Miami. Then when Knight puts out the full minors roster I will go into my franchise with the New York Mets and RTTS with 3rd base and catcher depending on if you don't have to call every pitch.

Then when the season starts I really wanna do a live season where I play one game a day with accurate transactions and injuries. I never really done that before but I saw a post in this thread and it seems like a lot of fun.

Tijuan is actually ranked 12 now! Take a look.
On top of that, we have Hultzen ranked at 14 or 16 I can't remember... AND Montero ranked in the top 5.

I think they are far from overrated. Walker has a 97mph fastball and a huge 12-6. Brett is right.... gonna be a star.

Ive done a mix of either using the actual yankees and doing a fantasy draft as as a yankee. When i do one with the actual team and i put myself created on the team i gotta go back and forth between me, jeter, and arod because i make my guy a SS and gotta wait till either jeter or arod retires. If i do end up getting 12 ill prob trade arod away for a SP or a OF.

Plus Paxton, and Franklin, frankly, were up to our neck in prospects and if they pan out, watch out..

Yankees have a ton of starters.

I'm excited for the changes to Citi, and, someone said they fixed D-Wrights stance, so hopefully he'll have his correct follow through! And that will change the realism part of it, referring to both of those.

I'm so excited to bring up Generation K 3.0 (Wheeler, Harvey, Familia) and guys like Havens, Kirk and Flores. And I'm curious to see how the new dimensions play in the game.

Franklin is very good. I hope Vinnie Catricala gets some love too... He hit .350 in AA last year... probably will be with the big squad this year.

Looking Forward to playing with SF not looking forward to having to use there Garbo offense... I thinking of doing one of those threads about your Franchise with tons of Info and use my PVR to give you highlights of each series would any one being interested in that?

Maybe man, i'd like to see what he does in AAA before we call him up though.

Can't wait to play with the Reyes-less Mets....
Havens will be in my starting line-up by the all-star break. I don't think flores has a spot in the line up yet, but he could possibly be an extra bat off the bench. Capt. Kirk in CF by mid July and Familia for September call-ups. Harvey and Wheeler are still a year away, but they'll get innings in spring training...
