Well my little brother deleted my season with the Reds, kind of upset but hey what you goin to do??? So I decided to do a franchise fantasy draft since I enjoy doin that on Madden. I will be using the Texas Rangers due to there sweet @$$ jerseys & starting on the normal sliders; will adjust as I go. I will be drafting my MLB & AAA team only using the latest online roster. Oh and to make things really interesting I will take 1 person from each MLB team so I not over loaded on 1 team (aka Bo Sox & Reds)
