I don't mean easiest, because that's clearly either the Dodgers or Red Sox. But rather, which team is the most fun to play with? I'm getting a laptop for Christmas and I'll (hopefully) get to play OOTP for the first time since May, so I need a team to roll with.

I've only played with 3 teams that I can remember:

- Rangers weren't much fun for whatever reason
- Cubs were okay
- Astros were the most fun, I played like 5 years with them in one save

The homer in me says Tigers (because if you suck, you can sell Price and Cespedes for prospects), the Barney Stinson in me says an expansion team (can be fun, but a challenge as well), but I think the best team to play with is the Cubs, just because of the prospects and the upside the whole team has.

I've narrowed it down enough to know that these are the teams I DONT want

Yankees
Red Sox
Orioles
Tigers
Royals
Angels
Astros
Athletics
Nationals
Phillies
Cardinals
Pirates
Cubs
Dodgers
Giants
Rockies

So that gives me 14 other options to choose from

Then from that list, I'd choose the Blue Jays, Padres or an expansion team after the first year. Just my 2 cents.

Go for your hometown-ish Rays or perhaps the well-loved Brewers

Those are actually 2 of the 3 teams I think I've narrowed it down to. They both hit all 3 of my needs, while the biggest negatives against them are very inconsequential. For the Rays, their biggest drawback is that they're rivals with Boston, while for the Brewers, it's that they seem to lack any sort of identity or importance. I think it's gonna be one of them, or the D-Backs.

I just might, especially if I can get their old logo and uni's.

But I'm looking at the team, AND DEAR LORD, WHY ARE THE BREWERS SO BAD AT DRAFTING!? Like, it honestly hurts me to see their picks. I swear, you haven't had a good first rounder since Braun in 05. Lawrie and Odorizzi were both drafted in 08, but neither played for the team. Jungmann came up this year and might be okay. But then the other dozen first rounders/comp picks are busts. I know the draft is a crapshoot, but come on! The top picks shouldn't be missing this often! That's just terrible!

I play as the Brewers in MLB the Show and it's a lot of fun. :)

So I guess my Brewers are taking a page from his book. Gomez already has 10 steals through 13 games
