Re: Those without favorite teams...how do you pick a team?

If you don't have a favorite team, I'd say Fantasy Draft would be the best option.

The problem with a fantasy draft is I want my team to be my favorite players, but I want the rest of the league to be mildly intact.

So I'm just going to pick the Blue Jays and trade this ridiculous amount of A prospects that they have for my favorite players; Manny, Halladay, Furcal, etc.

Last year I randomly picked the D-backs, which was fun because every run had to be scraped and the ballpark is pretty cool.

This year I picked the Giants, and they're a pretty fun team to be -- though their offense can flat-line hardcore now and then. Besides Panda and Posey, they're pretty thin on big boppers. Lots of bunts and small-ball. Lots of 1-0/2-1 games.

My "Serious" franchise is w/ the O's - as my heart can't deny them.

My favorite team is the twins but I like to roll in the national league due to the different strategy you have. This year I'm going with the dodgers. Cool stadium and lots of history. Kershaw is a stud, gordon is fun to have on the bases and kemp is a beast. I just need to figure out my catching situation.

I'm a huge Mets fan, but it's too hard to play with them since they are my team. Except for Johan and Niese, they're hard to pitch with and even more difficult to hit with.

I stick with the National League because I think it's actually more difficult to organize a team in the American League because I'm not so familiar with that style of play. This year I'm rolling with the Giants because of the ballpark. Their position players aren't great and they need lots of help with the farm, so a good challenge without the black hole that is the Astros. Plus, Sabean should have been fired long ago.
