Hey guys,

I'm starting a franchise with my hometown Pittsburgh Pirates. I plan on waiting for the OSFM rosters to drop to start the franchise; however, I will be utilizing real life spring training results to mold my beginning roster (that is the only mock to real life I will be following). I'll be updating the franchise throughout Spring Training by giving up to date (real life) updates. After my franchise begins, I will be playing every game and hopefully updating after each game. I am getting married in July, so there will probably be times where I'm not updating, but I do hope to finish this. Anyways, hope to get some followers. My first updates should be out later today.

Enjoy!
