I don't know what you mean by San Diego being 'easier for their first couple of seasons'. Firstly, Cashner, Ross and Ramirez are in the last year of their contracts. So you should be trading them season 1 (They are pretty much your only Major League trade chips anyway. Sure you could argue Norris, Myers, Shields but you're looking at C POT, mid 70's OVR and old respectively). Second you're in a stacked division with LA, SF, and kinda AZ. So good luck winning that division.

Probably the Cubs....

Just kidding, obviously. Padres are definitely one of the worst. Another one that's kinda of bad is the Orioles. Davis and Jones have value, but their farm system has nothing in it to trade for or from. Unless the user is willing to trade Machado.

And be stoned in the streets by the virtual fan base.

I would say the Red, Brewers and Padres are toughest.

yup, braves have a pretty deep looking minor league system so eventually they will come into their own, sure move a few pieces here and there but you just have to wait a few seasons it looks like.

Depends on the rosters you use. The community one with full minor leagues always over values "prospects" so a Brave rebuild should be pretty easy. You just have to wait for the pitching to arrive. And they're not so bad in the infield either with Albies and Swanson knocking on the door. Just draft an outfielder close to the majors early in the next two drafts and you have a Cub situation on your hands where the next 10 years are set.

In a 7 game series today with Atlanta vs San Diego, I would take the Padres. In two years I would take the Braves. I know the West is a tough division but, the reigning NL champions are from the East and the Nats are not exactly a walk in the park. Not to mention the Braves are 4-17 this year (the worst record in MLB). i will stand by my opinion......if you know what I mean.

I think you misunderstood the point mate. If you mean easier to win 70-80 games, sure San Diego over Atlanta. But I don't see the point in that.
