It gets tough to decide wether to start a new franchise or season mode with all these transactions or just use the year to year feature

Nationals rotation is insane.

Same here but I'm leaning toward just starting over

I'm looking forward to a healthy season for the Rangers. Derek Holland was out before last season started, and Yu Darvish started the season on the DL. Prince, Choo, etc. were all bitten by the injury bug which made for a very long 2014 campaign. I'm not sure if we'll be big-time contenders, but we should be if healthy. I'd at least like to see how a healthy Rangers team performs.

I'm a Nats fan too, and I'm sure I'll play several games with their ridiculous rotation!

I don't normally have any interest in St. Louis but I'm going to get some quick count bats in with the Cardinals & Jason Heyward for at least one season.

Its funny how on the first year we are gonna get to use the Y2Y saves feature there happens to be all these offseason moves, leading a lot of people to just start over.

I use Oakland every year just cause of their low budget but ive never been so excited to use my Cubs. Tween the Wrigley Reno's, Maddon, Lester and the Kids they are going to be fun to use this year!

The Red Sox moved to the AL West? Wow, this was a crazy offseason.

Boston signed both Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval, changing the landscape in the N.L. West and the left side of their infield.

These moves offer some interesting choices for players tinkering with the Red Sox’s lineup, while creating some gaps that may need to be filled in L.A. and San Francisco.

I'm sure you realise landscape in the NL West is changed because Boston created gaps in the respective LA & SF infields

No mention of the Cubs with the signing of Lester and the youth, namely Kris Bryant, ready to make a huge impact?

I'm looking forward to taking my Diamondbacks through the rejuvenated NL West.

I agree, the Cubs are more intriguing than Philly, who was already a non-factor last year & will be more of the same this year.

Rollins to Dodgers
L.A.’s real-life replacement at shortstop is the former face of the Phillies, Jimmy Rollins. While I don’t think this move makes the Dodgers significantly better or worse, it does signal the end of an era in Philly.

Rollins’ departure signals a new youth movement in Philadelphia, though it appears to be slow in developing. If you typically play as the Phillies, how will you handle what is now an “official” rebuild?

But while I don't believe the Cubs & Bryant are quite ready for prime-time (playoffs),
I still think Lester will make more of an impact on the NL Central playoff race than Rollins in LA on the West playoff race.
