another idea

here's what i did with each new version of OOTP:

1. go to baseballreference.com
2. hit the random button
3. the first team that comes up, that's yours

With OOTP 2007, I got randomized with the 1973 Astros. 2 90 loss seasons later, and it was time for OOTP9. This go-round, I was randomized with the 2002 Marlins. Fun team to play with
2002: missed the playoffs by one game
2003: best record in NL, lost first round of playoffs to the Reds
2004: missed the playoffs by two games
2005: up by 3 in the wild card with one month to go

I play out all my games, and have the computer GM handle all trades and signings.

My rotation in 2005:
Josh Beckett
Brad Penny
Dontrelle Willis
Josh Johnson
Scott Olsen

Lineup:
SS-H. Ramirez
2B-P. Ozuna
RF-Hermida
3B-Cabrera
1B-Olreud
LF-Dmitri Young/Sosa
CF-M. Cameron
C-D. Miller

will let you know how 2005 turns out.......
