The first dynasty didn't end too well. I started too soon with CubbyFan's 2009 rosters, and got stuck in an endless cycle of crashes. I had just started to like some of the players I dealt for, getting used to the team, and getting the Nationals in a position I wanted them in. I was torn between moving on and restarting, but I was having a lot of fun with the Nationals, so why not. The problem with crashing is gone with the latest rosters, and the rosters were very well done.

Between sets there were some changes for the Nationals, the Adam Dunn signing, what turned out to be my favorite pitcher, Matt Chico is now on the DL, etc. I simmed to 2/27 and I'll use that as a starting point. I don't know what else the AI has done from 1/1 to 2/27, but it doesn't look like much. The one move I did make was releasing Odalis Perez, since that just happened.

The settings are the same as the last thread, trading is on hard, etc. I don't think I'll play out as many games in the beginning as I did last time, because I think I know the team better.

I guess it is back to trying to unload contracts. Dmitri Young - $5 million a year. Seriously, what were they thinking? Let's see if Matt Chico and Corey Patterson perform like the all-stars they were playing like or come back down to earth.
