Besides, with Our League, I don't care much how my teams do in PT in general.
In any event, thanks for the opinions. I'm gonna blow up two teams and spring for the historical packs now that they are on sale.

Good luck with the packs. I'm younger than you, but also grew up playing strat. I learned to play in summer camp in the late 70's, One of the counselors set-up a league, and each kid got a team. I don't remember who I was, but the camper who was the Dodgers quit mid-season and gave me his entire team. I promptly (and in retrospect, unfairly) romped my way to the World Series. Those late-70's Dodgers teams were awesome.
