Indians would be a good team! Or maybe the Blue Jays

The Royals or the Pirates would be a lot of fun (and work) to rebuild.

I think the O's would be a ton of fun. Lots of young stars, some money to spend, but some challenges from a GM point of view. If I wasn't doing one w/ my Mets, I would use them.

I'm playing as the Pirates mostly in an all-30 teams franchise.

They're a fun team to play with because they got some good starting pitching in place (Zack Duke, Ohlendorf, & lefty Paul Maholm), and a few pieces on offense: McCutcheon is a great leadoff man, Iwamura is a solid 2B, Garrett Jones has good power, and Ryan Doumit is solid as well.

Make sure to create Pedro Alvarez as I did.

They really need some bullpen arms, a SS, another corner OF'er (I play Garrett Jones at 1B), some bench bats, and a 4th or 5th starter depending on what you think of Charlie Morton. You also have projects in Lastings Milledge and Andy LaRoche that are there and could become decent players; I like Milledge and his combo of power and speed.

They also have a nice/new ballpark, and you've got a division stacked against you w/ STL, CHC, MIL, and Cincy all being better teams.
