What Team are you Planning on Using and first actions

My Cardinals are in a pretty healthy place, so that's no fun to try to rebuild.

I probably won't decide until the game comes out, but I'm debating between the Mariners, the Twins, the Padres, or the Rockies as a rebuilding project. The Mariners are leading at this point.

My plan is to try to get rid of any veterans I possibly can and go young. Definitely try to build up my pitching and find some good, solid contact hitters and a bona fide speedster to get started. We'll see if any of that comes to fruition.

It would be intriguing to start an OSFM dynasty with Seattle & see how many studs one could get by trading Cano before he ever even had an opportunity to don a M's uni lol

Haha...that's actually one of the intriguing aspects of it. I hadn't heard if no trade clauses are honored in the upcoming Show or not, but if not, all bets are off.

this actually brings up a couple interesting things...

1. This type of contract needs the ability to "eat" some of the contract for trading

2. The trading needs to be a lot tougher because there might be around 3-5 teams (maybe) that would even consider taking this contract on in real life

on another not. The AL West (in the game) will b an insane division in about 2 seasons so that could def be the toughest division to play in

The Tiger's, work on getting a OBP guy to bat leadoff, shed some salary and work on the minor league system.

I'm going to take my annual tour around all the ballparks playing a couple of innings in each park with every team. With generated counts and fast forward feature this should go a lot quicker than in the past. If the other stadiums are as gorgeous as those scoreboard shots at Fenway....I am such a graphics whore
And with those generated counts I will attempt a full season playing every game but with my schedule I still kind of doubt it. Either going with the Tribe or the Rays. Perhaps 1 silver lining if the game is released in April is that the SCEA rosters should be updated close to opening day.

I'm gonna take a look at CAP options and player editing possibilities plus the free agents lists. Then I'm going to play a WS rematch between the Cardinals and Red Sox.

I would be the Mariners, and I would do a couple of moves. I would start with making a trade to get Cliff Lee and Papelbon, then make a trade for either Kemp or Stanton. I usually do them before entering the franchise so that it's a little more reasonable and I can send more prospects to each of those teams. Give Cano a chance.

If I don't like Cano, I would create a franchise based on how I would have wanted the Mariners to do things. I would move Cano back to the Yankees, use Miller and Franklin up the middle, trade for Fielder, move Ellsbury to the Mariners (Yanks still have Gardner), and then trade for Stanton or Kemp. Then, probably still trade for Lee and Papelbon...or Price.

That would give me a feel for my real franchise, which wouldn't start until the OSFM rosters come out...
