For a split second I thought someone Photoshopped a Mets jersey on Satchel Page...Valverde is looking old. I remember signing him in the MVP series, lol.

For difficulty, I don't think you need to go further than my Phillies. An old underachieving club with an exorbitant payroll and little in the way if prospects. It's going to take years for the Phil's to be anywhere near playoff caliber whereas the Cubs, Royals, Astros, Twins and even the Mets all have good young clubs primed for the future.

i would choose the cubs because its a miracle to win with them plus i think the game has some built in bias to slight them in the playoffs lol

The reasons are known. You just dont know or done want to believe that's actually why.

Do tell. And if you say the style guide, how did the camo jersey get in?

That's all I think about everytime they plug Harvey and associates. I don't know if I remember that threes name. But surely they were no Glavine, Smoltz, and Avery.

But let me try... Paul Wilson, Jason Isringhauser, and... for some reason Presley rings a bell. But it's not Alex like the former Pirate OF'er. I can't think of that third one.

You were/are thinking of Kirk Presley . Never panned out to anything.

haha...I wish because I could blame that on my ignorance. I've been browsing the site since the early 2000's before signing up. I thought the farm system in the game (default roster) was all fake players with no attributes that could be paired with a real person, since they weren't part of the Union. The article talks about taking control of teams because of their prospects but they wouldn't exist in the game. They wouldn't exist until Knight and others come out with the altered name/physical appearance/attributes rosters. So I'm just questioning the relevance of the article to someone who is playing with default rosters. Unless, I'm wrong about the default rosters not having MiLB players that can be traced back to real baseball players.

Many fine folks here on the site redo the rosters so all the prospects are in the game.

The Cubs aren't neccesarily thin at pitching.. They have two top 100 prospects rated by baseball America in CJ Edwards and Peirce Johnson, Jeff smardzija, Travis wood, and Pedro Stroup
