OK, its March 31st in my little 4 team Sandbox league. Here is a shot of the first day's schedule to give you an idea of who is in the "sandbox". Anyway, I'll sim a season and post some dynasty reports here for the fun of it (I need to keep myself amused while testing!)

Any predictions?

If the Sox don't win - it will need more testing

I think the Big Red Machine will roll over all.

If DH is not in play I think you may be right. With a DH I think the Sox take it.

Is it "home park rules" Shaun?

Thankfully though, PureSim defaults to DH off!

The front page of PSPN at the all star break (OK I admit I am having fun with this ability to post screen shots so easily -- I'll stop!)

Hit for show, pitch for dough - where's the pitching stats?

I'll bet the BoSox bullpen has been doing them in...

And Where'd Tino get that power from

Also the post Nomar BoSox lineup was better that season...

Tino hit 44 home runs that year in real life.

And on paper Nomar should be an upgrade from Cabrera (unless Shaun somehow coded for 'clubhouse cancer' in the new edition...).

That plus strikes (lockouts, whatever) plus steroids really ruined baseball for me.
