My names Michael and I have MLB Team ADD

[Bgrd1080]

Help! I can't stick with one team this year.... I love the game but can't settle on a team. Iv'e started with the White Sox, Detroit, Baltimore and the Mets.


I just can't stick with one team. I want a team that has a few pieces in the majors already, not great but can hold it's own for at least a wildcard. Maybe 1 or 2 pieces waiting to come up. Cant play in the AL West as an A's fan.
Detroit was a dumpster fire as I am not the best player when it comes to producing runs. Baltimore wasn't any better. The White Sox were a bit too boring, basic uniforms and stadium. The Mets were fun but too easy it felt. I don't want to make it simple as I want to get better, but also don't want to lose every game 1-0 or 2-1 because I can't score.
Any team recommendations?
Toronto (fun division), Cincinnati (a couple hitters), Pittsburgh (the stadium), Marlins (decent base of a team) IDK....

Toronto is fun, but they're my favorite team, so I get too attached to the prospects.

I've done Miami a few times, but I never really feel invested.

IMO, your best bet is Pittsburgh. KeBryan Hayes should be close, and I can't even imagine how fun it would be to play with O'Neill Cruz. A 6'7'' shortstop?!?!

Any reason why not the A's?

Because I am weird and get too attached. I refuse to make roster moves. I can't part with MY GUYS. Make it get boring pretty quick.

Might be sold on Pittsburgh. Reading up on season previews and prospects.

Beautiful stadium. I was 50/50 between them and the Mariners for my current franchise, but the draw of ending the longest playoff drought took over.

Somehow I'm 0.5 games back of the division lead through 2 months with the worst OBP in the majors...Taijuan Walker and Justus Sheffield are killing it in the rotation.

Have you thought about giving the fictional or historic rosters a shot. With fictional you can just pick a team with uniforms and a stadium you like and be free from real world preconceptions of how teams should perform. With historic rosters you have real players but can change history and still not worry about what's happening currently in baseball.

Padres or Royals would be my recommendation.

Padres have Tatis Jr. and a few other major league pieces like Machado and Pham. They've got a good core with plenty of space to build around them. Some good young pitchers waiting to come up and a couple of good catchers too.

The Royals have Mondesi and that's about it for the majors, but they do have Bobby Witt Jr. who is like 4th in top prospects. They have a handful of A potential pitchers, and you can get a good haul for Merrifield on his ridiculous contract.

Both teams have really cool uniforms and stadiums too and are smaller market/underdog teams.
