    For those of you who use a different team each year, who are you going with?

    This is meant mainly for people who don't always do a franchise with their favorite team. I always tend to pick a team that had a lot of changes since the year before, because it makes the experience feel fresh. With that in mind, I will probably go with the Braves, Jays, or Dodgers. Which teams are you guys thinking of?

    I'm thinking of giving the Indians a go. Another team that has seen major changes and with the challenge of overtaking a stacked defending division champ in the Tigers it should be fun.

      I might play a mini franchise of 3 or 4 years with the Mariners.

      Other than that, I'll play a deep (8 year minimum) franchise with my usual suspects, i.e. Atlanta & the Marlins.

        I've only bought theShow the last 3 years.

        The first year I went the Giants. Ended up with World Series in real life. (2010)

        2nd year I rolled with the Brewers (2011) NLCS appearance.

        3rd year went with the A's who had an amazing season winning the AL West.

        As a tradition I always buy the team I am using's real life home hat.

        This year I am rolling with,....... The Royals. Put your money on a play off appearance lol

          Normally I play as the O's or Nats and try 2 improve them. This year I think I'm going to play as the Astros -- new unis, new league. I'm going to rebuild them and add some veterans to the young guys.

            Well...I always do a Yankees franchise. This year i'm really thinking of doing as Astros franchise...new league and everything. Would be cool to do well with them.....ahhh the possibilities haha. Might even do one with the A's. I might do a "pass the time" franchise with the A's till the OSFM rosters drop!

                With the additions of Choo, Bourn, Bauer, and Swisher the Indians are very tempting. It would be great fun to beat up on those White Sox all year as well

                  I usually like taking a small market/poor performing team and turning them around. Astros or Mariners will probably be my 2013 choice. Had the Nats in 2011 and A's last year...both teams are playoff teams now so I have to switch it up. If Phillies suck again I might use them too

                    I used to always play as the Cubs, until they pissed me off in 2010.
                    I switch it up every year now.
                    2011 was PIT
                    2012 BAL
                    2013 will prob be WAS.

                    Ive also created a team for my Yahoo Fantasy Baseball League where I traded all my FBB players to the Rockies and played a full season with them, duplicating any trades that occurred in the league.

                      Really looking forward to doing an Astros franchise.

                      Other than that, maybe a Mets one and my usual Reds.
                      And this one belongs to the Reds!

                        I am a Mets fan who moved to Florida in 91. Played as Marlins since 93, switched to Mets in 2006-2011. Last year got all excited about Reyes and the new ballpark and played as fish. NEVER AGAIN!! Its Mets all the way in 13.

                          I never liked to play as the Indians but this year I think they might be my choice, can't wait!
                          Other than that the Royals could be an option as well, same story for me as the tribe.
                          Probably the 2 teams I gave the least amount of playing time until now but this year both franchises intrigue me.

                          I always liked playing with NL teams but I'm not sure if I will as much this year.. Any suggestions guys who could be the Cleveland and KC of the NL? Like some team with outsider chances to content now and also the next few years?

                            I've thought about rolling with a high draft pick team this year with the new franchise features. I thought about the Astros but that would be suicide. I'm waffling between the Indians, the Pirates and the Twins.

                              I always do a Nationals franchise. This year it should be interesting using them.

                              In the past 5 years I've done Marlins, Reds, Rockies, Pirates, Yankees.

                              I'm thinking of Royals. I would do A's if it wasn't for that awful ballpark. I really like Cespedes. Maybe Toronto but I have a feeling there will be a lot of Toronto use for online players, the same with LAA and LAD. I try to steer away from the obvious picks.
