    Help me pick a team...yeah one of those threads

    It's going to be MLB 2k12 PC with the new MKHarsh and Co. rosters and I want to play all 162. Basically I don't want a juggernaut, or a slug, and they have to play in a nice stadium and have some decent pitching. I plan to play all 162 and I cannot be giving up 10 runs a game.

    I don't have a favorite team.

    Oakland Athletics (I'm a little biased).

    I personally love the Oakland Coliseum. It's got historic character. There are practically no well known "stars" on the team, up and coming maybe (Jared Parker, Cespedes), but no stars. The team is comprised of essentially rookies with sprinkles of a few veterans. The starting pitching staff is essentially rookies as well. The bullpen finally got on track with Sean Dolittle (rookie; 7th inning), Ryan Cook (rookie; 8th inning), and Grant Balfour (9th inning).

    Last year, practically no one game gave them a chance to make the playoffs let alone compete in their division. They were projected to finish last place or second to last place in their division. If my memory serves me correctly, they were 5 games out of 1st place with 10 games remaining on the schedule. The Oakland Athletics grabbed sole possession of 1st place when they beat the Texas Rangers in game 162. Bob Melvin won AL Manager of the Year.

    *Ryan Cook (rookie righty), Sean Dolittle (rookie lefty; 1st baseman converted to a pitcher; went through A ball, double A, triple A and finally last year called up to the bigs), Grant Balfour (veteran lost his closer role to Ryan Cook, but eventually regained it).

      I'll give them a whirl, and if I can't deal with their stadium I'll just mod it!

              Biased, but give the Braves a shot. Good young outfield and 2 future stars in Heyward and Freeman, top 3 catcher in McCann, good young rotation and the best pen in baseball. Turner Field is very nice and was built for the 96 Olympics. There really isn't anything to dislike about the Bravos unless you like the Met or Phils

                  The Phillies were tempting, but they have garbage on offense. Do their starters really nose dive right away.

                  I ended up with the Brewers, and I made a couple trades.

                    Blue Jays. May be rated too good in the game, but should have a lot of fun players to use and Rogers Centre is nice and a launching pad for HRs.

                      He said he wanted a nice stadium.

                      I'd say Tigers, but they're a "juggernaut", so... Cardinals, maybe?

                        He wanted a nice stadium, and so I suggested the Coliseum. Just because it's old, kind of run down, and isn't state of the art, doesn't mean it's a bad stadium.

                        I personally see the Coliseum as a nice stadium. I have always enjoyed its architecture, its layout, the way it looks in person, and the way it looks in video baseball games. Nothing wrong with the suggestion.

                        Regardless, he already made the choice -- the Brewers.

                          Pirates seem about right. They did good for a while last year and their stadium is great.
