They essentially are, but I would argue that the Cubs have a better minor league system than the Astros (I am biased as a Cubs fan) and therefore would be easier to turn around in The Show. Also the Astros likely got the nod from a lot of people simply by virtue of finishing last in the majors for the last 3 years (with a decent likelihood of doing so again this year as well).

Very similar to what I do. I play 1 game in each series then all playoff games.

It will be the same as every year. The boys in blue.

After years of using the Red Sox and playing in the American League, I want to take on the task of a NL team rebuild. My three choices are the Marlins, Cubs, or Padres. They all have some interesting points of contention to be chosen (Cubs, 1908...Padres have never won a WS, Miami is in shambles), but I know the Marlins and Cubs have decent farm systems with a core of young kids that could really contribute in the near future (bats for the Cubs, arms for the Marlins). Not really sure what San Diego has on the farm, I haven't looked too much into them yet. I'm getting it for PS4 so I have a while before I have to make a final decision.

Padres farm is pretty solid. I think you may want to look into Milwaukee as well. They have no WS and unlike the 3 you mentioned, have a horrible farm (worst in baseball). They are talented BUT the window to win is about 1 or 2 years before weeks and Ramirez really decline or just leave and Braun will be 33 or 34 in 2 seasons also

You make a very good point about Milwaukee. I like the uniforms and the stadium is pretty nice also. This will be a tough decision.

Why do I feel like the only one on earth who doesn't enjoy the Brewers uniforms and I absolutely can't stand Miller park? I can't be alone on this.
