Diamond Dynasty Spring Training Starts Today

All DD players will report to Spring Training today to get ready for the new season. MLB 17 is close, but not close enough, and I really want to get started into this years game. Y2Y saves have been great, but this year I'm starting fresh in everything. 15 I was heavy into DD, getting 90 wins in full-game PVP. in 16, I hardly did anything in DD, going 18-13 in PVP. But this year, I'm getting back into it, and it starts today.

I play DD differently. I am a diehard Cleveland Indians fan, I have been playing Franchise modes exclusively with them since the days of Front Page Sports: Baseball Pro 98, and this isn't going to change much going into DD. I'm not looking for a 99 ovr team with all diamond players, no, I am going to collect, and exclusively play with Cleveland Indians players only, or players that have played for the Indians. CC, Lee, Cabrera, Peralta...and if classic players are in there...Justice, Mesa, Murray, Thome etc. Should be hard to do, seeing how the Tribe could have 4 diamond players in 17, Kluber, Miller, Lindor, Kipnis...so I think there will be planty of meaningful grinding this year.

This may put me at a disadvantage, not getting that Griffey ((ovr right off the bat...but that's ok, that is the point. I want to be an underdog team, loyal to my current boys, and give former Indians the chance they might have never got...Grady, I'm looking at you...

So what are my plans for "DD Spring Training"...pretty much get back into the flow of things. Play some 9 inning Extra Inning games on All-Star with whatever Indians squad I can piece together, and also restart and play some conquest. Nothing too serious, seeing how this will not transfer over, but just to be used like real sporing training. Get back to playing everyday, seeing pitches, getting used to matchups, and eat sleep breathe baseball.

For The Show, Myself, and the Cleveland Indians of real life, 2017 is going to be an amazing year.
