OOTP 15 Dynasty Team?

[Shinkansen]

OOTP 15 is going to be released in a couple months and I always like to start a new dynasty with each version.

But, my biggest problem is always picking a team…it'll take me a couple weeks to do so…

So I ask you guys, which team should I start a dynasty with in OOTP 15?

Reasons for teams in poll:
-Rebuilding Project/ Tough Management
-High Pick
-Have a SA team (Except CHW)

Notes:
Have a soft spot for the Padres, know their organization very well
Looking for the toughest rebuild

As a Padres fan, I always use the Pads to re-build it and make it a winner. Always a good challenge each year.

Can you get a bigger rebuild/challenge than the Mets ?

I'm going to start ootp15 with two expansion teams in MLB, the twist being that both teams will be in Europe along with their Triple-A affiliates (in a Europe wide AAA league) and a HS/College set-up feeding into the main draft. That way I should hopefully get some Europeans in the ML teams eventually

The Mets are one of two teams to not have a winning season in the last 5 years, wanna guess who the other team is...? ASTROS. That just goes to show why the Mets are in a very bad spot and I may end using them in my first dynasty for OOTP 15.

Actually, probably yes. Teams like the Mets and the Cubs at least have revenue streams. Money can fix a lot of problems. Off the top of my head, I would think the Marlins would be much worse. Heck, even the Indians are probably harder, assuming RL attendence is portrayed in the quickstart, despite a 90-win team. Teams that have no fan support are very hard to manage IMO.

The Indians' attendance wasn't great in 2013 at about 20,000/game. But that was up about 11% over 2012. I would expect at least a further 15% increase this year if they stay competitive, which they should (especially if they resign Ubaldo).

Plus with the Cavs and Browns as awful as they have been, the Indians might have a chance at a lot more of those dollars than they did during the rebuild.

Not really relevant to the topic I admit. But I find it hard to resist speculating on the Indians.

Why I choose the hapless 'Stros...

This. And fan interest/revenue stream aside, the 2013 Astros lost 111 games. That marks them as one of the 10 worst teams in modern (post-1900, so not even that modern) major league history. And it's not like their farm system is thought to be chock full of blue chip talent, either.

The Astros were the most profitable team in the MLB last year, so they are drawing enough fans and bringing in enough revenue to stay relevant financially.
