BK Takes Over the Bucs (The Show '13)

[bkrich83]

Finally decided to start my Franchise for 2013. Wanted to try an NL team this year, so I am going to roll with the Pirates. I've never used them in a franchise, and I think they are playoff capable, but still a very good challenge.

Signed Tim Dillard, David Pauley and Juan Cruz to contracts in an attempt to add some bullpen depth.
