I played my first OOTP 6 solo league in manager mode: medium difficulty, trading hard/favor prospects. I decided to sign with whatever team offered me the most money. I used real rosters, starting in 1990. I first signed with the Braves, who had a Horror for an owner, and was fired after the '91 season despite beating expectations (not finishing last). I then signed with the Yankees, who had a Very Patient owner (ha!) and offered me the most money. After that it was off to the races. The team has gotten steadily better, until this year I won 120 games. (My OOTP5 record was 127 as owner/manager.) Surprisingly, my market size has only been Good throughout, and my payroll has ranged from 4th to 8th out of 26 teams. I've made the playoffs 12 straight years & am pretty bored with this dynasty now.
