What team will you be this year?

[12]

Never too early for a thread like this!

As for me, I'll use the Mariners. They are my favorite team, and they are in disarray right now. Our current roster is beyond weak, but we have some good pieces to build around.

Here's the lineup and rotation that I will most likely start with...

Ichiro, RF
Chone Figgins, 3B
Franklin Gutierrez, CF
Milton Bradley, DH/LF
Justin Smoak, 1B
Jack Cust/Michael Saunders, LF
Miguel Olivo/Adam Moore, C
Dustin Ackley, 2B (Rookie, top prospect)
Brendan Ryan, SS

Felix Hernandez, RHP
Erik Bedard, LHP
Jason Vargas, LHP
Doug Fister, RHP
Michael Pineda, RHP (Rookie, top prospect)

The bullpen is pretty underwhelming.

Obviously, I'll have A LOT of work to do. This team, on paper, is still a 90-100 loss team.

I love Felix, Ichiro, Figgins (hope he rebounds), Gutierrez, Smoak and Ackley, as well as Michael Pineda, who should be a very legit #2 starter in this league.

As far as prospects, it would appear that the Mariners have a middle of the pack farm system, headlined by Smoak, Ackley and Pineda and Nick Franklin. I think Smoak and Ackley can eventually be all-stars, and Pineda has filthy stuff. There are some other nice pieces there as well, but building them up to respectability will be a chore.

That lineup is bad and the rotation is potentially worse, with the exception of King Felix.

Re: What team will you be this year?

No new stadiums so it'll probably be:
-Padres
-Nationals
-Pirates

Can't wait to play with Stras, Storen and Werth

I would watch out for Nemesis and the Yankees as they may try to pry king Felix from Seattle!

Re: What team will you be this year?

So I'm a Nats fan. I was going to play as an AL team (leaning toward Seattle) to check out the AL and new stadiums.

But it will probably be too tempting to play with Strasburg, Werth, Espinosa, etc. Plus we got new uniforms this year.

But I'm not sure, I think my Franchise might last longer if I play an AL team since I've never played as one before.

Re: What team will you be this year?

im a huge yankee fan but playing them in the game can get boring at times just cause of all the games u play against BOS, TOR, and BAL. I will cheer them on in real life but in the video game im most likely gonna choose a dif team. Im most likely gonna do 1 team in AL and 1 team in NL. My AL team is most likely gonna be TEX and my NL team most likely either Braves, Mets, or Dodgers.

Re: What team will you be this year?

I'll of course be using my Braves since J-Hey and Freeman will be built in the game this year..but for a 2nd team i'm lookin at San Diego. I'm liking some of the moves they've made this off season with Bartlett, Maybin and Hudson and there looking like a fun team to build with.

Re: What team will you be this year?

- I'm thinking about finding a way to sabatoge a Phillies franchise! just kidding!!!

Of course my Braves!

[Reaman]

Re: What team will you be this year?

Franchise: The New York Yankees, of course. Online: I play with all 30 clubs.

Re: What team will you be this year?

Always do franchise with the Phillies. Then I'll be doing a RTTS with a power hitting outfielder

[Blzer]

Re: What team will you be this year?

Most likely the Giants. I've often found my way around other clubs to play as in the past (Cardinals, Braves, Reds) but I can't ever complain about playing with San Francisco. Time will tell on this one, though.
