    Expansion Preview

    For those of us PS2 guys who have to wait another 4-5 days, can someone give us an expansion preview so we can start thinking about it?

    1. What new cities are there?

    2. What new team names are there?

    3. Who are some of the top guys in the expansion draft?

    4. Does making an expansion team mean a real team is out of the league (as opposed to last year where no real team was removed, they simply added another expansion team to balance it out)?

    Thanks, guys.

    I don't remember last year's well enough to compare. There are a lot of cities. There may be a few new mascots, but they seem pretty much the same.

    Wow. This floored me:
    Roger Clemens
    Andy Pettitte
    Andy Ashby
    Denny Neagle
    Jason Marquis
    Raul Mondesi
    Rondell White
    Moises Alou
    Ellis Burks

    It's no Fantasy Draft, but there are some interesting picks in there.

    No, no team is removed. I added the Utah Big Thunder, chose the AL, and ended up in the AL West. Another team was also added: the Delaware Mammoth, in the AL East.

    Thanks, guys.

        I have but one question. Is there a Senators nickname as part of the options. I would have thought this would be a no-brainer, since it could be happening in real life soon.

            No Senators. But there is a DC Stadium in the game (you can see the Lincoln Monument in the background, I think).

            I simmed through the franchise mode with the Expos to see if they moved in there in the 2004 season, but they do not. Maybe later on?

                Is New Orleans an still an option for an expansion team?

                Last year, New Orleans was an option so I would guess they still are. Just want to make sure.

                        Could someone list what the expansion mascots are? If its to much trouble maybe just list the new ones. Thanks!
