Five Teams to Be Excited About in MLB 12: The Show

Pretty good list. I've got to admit, I'm not looking forward to playing with the Orioles and their absolute lack of pitching.

I could see the Tigers being one of the teams everyone uses online.

I'm gonna make Yonder Alonso an All-Star in my Chise. He has a better chance now that Pujols and Fielder are playing in AL.

Go Padres!

Even though I'm a Dodgers fan, I rolled with the Nationals last year and will do the same this year. Although, I will be playing exhibition games will all the teams listed in your article until Knight & Co. rosters are completed.

I'll wait to see how the gameplay is before I excited about ratings and sliders.

Re: Five Teams to Be Excited About in MLB 12: The Show

I'm trying to decide to play my season with either the Phillies, Nationals, Rays, or Royals. I'm not a big Papelbon fan but Philly is my hometown team. If the Nationals let Bryce Harper start with the team in RF out of Spring Training they'll be the fun team to play with, also the Rays have an amazing starting rotation and the Royals have a super young talented team with guys who've been winning in the minors. Who should I choose?

In my opinion, with those choices, I would narrow that down to either Washington or Tampa Bay. Nationals Park is one of the nicest stadiums in the Majors, and their team is on the verge of becoming a threat in not just the NL East. With young guys like Bryce Harper, Ryan Zimmerman, Jordan Zimmerman, and Stephen Strasburg, there's a lot of buzz in the D.C. area.

I had a franchise with the Rays in MLB 11. I love their dark blue uniforms on the road, and their alternate light blue home uniforms. They've also got a few youngs guys like Desmond Jennings, Ben Zobrist, Evan Longoria and David Price. Don't forget James Shields either.

I think you should go with either of those two teams.

Probably the most underrated team in baseball - The Atlanta Braves.

I guess since we didn't do anything in the offseason and are coming off that huge collapse people have forgotten about us. We are young and hungry though. I think we are gonna surprise a lot of people.

I'm a Braves fan myself. A lot of people I've spoken to are disappointed that we haven't made any moves this off-season. Personally, I think Wren made the right decision, and didn't make any knee-jerk reactions that could've potentially hurt the ball club. We did try to make some deals, but they didn't pan out. I like the overall make-up of our club as well.

I was talking to a guy the other day who said he'd be ready to give up on Heyward, and trade him. I couldn't believe it seeing that Heyward is still only 22 years old.

Re: Five Teams to Be Excited About in MLB 12: The Show

I will be rolling with the Marlins for The Show 2012. Since I have my 1987/2011 Yankees chises going on The Show 11, I will pick up my hometown team this year with the new players, new uniforms and new stadium.

Should be a ton of fun!

After reading this I immediately starting thinking about my line ups and rotations and got that "excitement" feeling. Can't wait for this game to come out so I can start to rebuild my aging Yankees.

[careLOS]

I'm probably the only person excited to play with the Blue Jays this year. It'll be nice to see how Brett Lawrie will do. Rotation needs major improvement. Bullpen is one of the best in the AL East. And try to finally get Bautista's long awaited AL MVP.

My grandfather and dad are diehard Yankees fans so naturally I am a Yankees fan as well. Last year I used them and went about re-signing guys and building from within and not trying to sign anyone or trade anyone except when they made moves. But when I play a video game I love having a young team. The Yankees are anything but that so this year I may do the same and "rebuild" even though they really don't need it quite yet. The day Mariano Rivera retires the landscape will change dramatically. Soriano will more than likely become the closer, and I believe it will lead to some other interesting changes as well.

The roayls are gonna surprise everyone this year if they dont win the Centralthey wont be no worse than 2nd

Re: Five Teams to Be Excited About in MLB 12: The Show

I always roll with the Braves

If I decide to do an A.L. franchise, then I'll roll with Tampa Bay
