Which NL East Team Is Good For A 162 Game Season?

[beamon05]

I want to play a full 162 games (my previous franchise with the Angels is lost because of the patch). Thinking about using an NL East team. Would prefer a challenge, but a realistic shot at the playoffs. I think that narrows it to the Marlins, Braves, and Nationals. Any recommendations?

i would actually go with the Mets....a) it would present a challenge b) they already have some nice pieces in place with Wright, Davis, Murphy

As a Braves fan I must say the Braves.

They have a lot of talent, a couple of aging vets, and a great farm system.

However, they don't have the "stud" power that some other teams do. They are more of a well rounded team that has few huge holes but doesn't have anyone who is going to COMPLETELY carry the team.

McCann and Uggla will combine for most of your big rallies / run scoring opportunities but it isn't on the same level as say a team like the Jays w/ Bautista.

Marlins are a pretty easy team to win it all with IMO. Stanton, Reyes, Hanley, etc., etc.

Nats are fun especially if u wanna eventually play with Bryce Harper. They have a good solid core with a couple of spots that need upgrading. Strasburg is fun to pitch with as well.

I'd go with the Braves...Solid young pitching, speedy OF.

Speedy?? hehe I can't help but laugh when i see that and remember that Prado is in LF when I watch every game IRL

I'm having fun with the Braves. But if the Braves weren't my team IRL, I'd probably take the Nats. A lot of potential with them.

Go with the Mets. The lineup has some good pieces with Murphy (he's awesome in this game for me), Wright, Davis and Duda.

The pitching rotation is pretty solid and the bullpen is good.

There's some good talent in the minor leagues and you can always look at shipping off Santana, Wright and Bay (no one will touch him irl but you can probably move him in The Show) for some good future pieces.

Of course I'll say the Mets. But like everyone else has said, they do have some pieces in place, and some good rookies to boot. My other choice would be the Nats. They're a good young team and should present some challenges.
