Well, now that I've finished a year in my Twins log, I've gotten experience on what to do when running a season log. After my incredibly unrealistic Free Agent signing period, I think it's time to start anew, keeping it much more realistic this time. So I've given you two choices.

The Marlins are another failure of a team, a disorganized mess. If I take them, I'll try and keep their appx. 20000 PP salary under 25000.

The Blue Jays were done recently, but the log hasn't gone very far. It has good pitching, but in a division with the Yankees, the offense MUST pick up. I think their salary is around 80000-90000, and I'll keep it under 100000.

If you have any other ideas, tell me and I'll think about it.

Those two teams you mentioned sound good to me, but some other suggestions.

Common logs these days have been middle of the road teams (Think Braves, Mariners, Giants, etc.). Almost at the same rate are Worst to First logs (Nationals, Pirates, Padres, you get the idea). We rarely see a log that contains a really good team, or a team with finacal woes (Finacal Woes: Any team over 1000000 PP in salary. I.E. Cubs, Yankees). Then there is the ever popular expansion team of scrubs, and of course, Arrange Teams made up of Success players.

Overall, even though they've been overdone lately, Middle of the Road teams keep the intrest with me the most. Some Teams that haven't been done lately are the Arizona Diamondbacks (I may do this one eventualy if my A's log dies), Texas Rangers, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians, and one of your suggestions, the Florida Marlins.

My advice, look at the lineups, look at the pitching staff, look at the ballparks. Also, consider trading value of the roster. Which ever one you like the most is the one you should pick.

What about the Indians? Sounds good to me. I'll do the Indians.

I'd like to see you try with a team of Gray-bar scrubs. I'd like to see how you do.

I tried that before. It went horribly.
