Three teams are open, regular season just ended and the playoffs are about to start. Great time to take control of a team! The league will be switching to OOTP 11 in the future, fyi.
Baltimore Orioles
Finished the season 88 - 74 for second in the AL East. Good talent on the big league roster and talent in the minors, too. This team just needs a good manager to get them on track. Should be quick contenders. Good team for a newbie to take over.
Chicago White Sox
Finished the season 68 - 94 for fourth in the AL Central. Should have the 6th pick in the 2014 draft. Good talent at the major league level but pretty average in the minors. Would be a fun challenge for an experienced ootper, but by no means are they rebuild project.
Colorado Rockies
Finished the season 79 - 83, good enough for 4th in the NL West. Good team that was hit hard with injuries. Strong big league roster coupled with good talent in the minors. With the right guidance, the Rockies can more than hold their own right away in a competitive division.
