NEW: MLB 2K12 LA Dodgers Dynasty

I finally have time to start a franchise, and I need a break from my Blue Jays so I'm going to go with the LA Dodgers because I have been amused with them since the AGon deal. I playt 52 games, 6 inning games, DH is ON, with default All Star Sliders. I will play for fun over realism and I will play every game a give an update with stats, standings and headlines every month. So far I have made 3 deals, and got news that CF Matt Kemp will miss 40 Days with a torn shoulder ligament. He only played 1game where he went 2-2 with a HR and 2 RBI before leaving after making a diving catch in center field. He is expected to make a rehab assignment about half way through the 2nd month of the season. LF Juan Rivera will play vs. Lefties, and CF Nyger Morgan will play vs, Righties.

Trades:
1) Dodgers trade OF Shane Victorino, SP Aaron Harrang, and INF Nick Punto to the Red Sox for DH David Ortiz, INF Pedro Ciriaco, and P Franklin Morales.
- The Dodgers wanted more power and decided Big Pappi would be the answer. With 6 quality SP, Harrang was the odd man out. Ortiz will play DH and bat 5th, Ciriaco will play mostly SS and some appearances as 2B when Dee Gordon plays SS. Morales will be the teams Long Reliever. This is yet another blockbuster between the Red Sox and Dodgers.

2) Dodgers trade AAA CF Prospect Matt Angle to the Brewers for CF Nyger Morgan.
- The Dodgers needed a CF who could step in a play now until Kemp was back. The Brewers had Gomez who played full time so they could afford to move Morgan for a decent 4 star prospect.

3) Dodgers trade C AJ Ellis, INF Juan Uribe, AAA Prospect to Braves for C Brian McCann, 1B Lyle Overbay, and RF Reed Johnson.
- This deal was actually offered to the Dodgers while it was simulating between the 1st and 2nd game of the season. The deal offered was a 2-2, the Dodgers added Overbay for the Prospect so they could have a AAA 1B on the team. McCann should bat 6th after David Ortiz and Overbay, and Johnson will report to AAA.

yea i know 1st game he was 2/2 with a HR and 2 RBI but hes back next game, the game before I do my May update so I like the way its looking. May even deal Beltre again for some speed and depth since I have Kemp back. Unsure
