With baseball over and football three months away I need an MLB team to follow. Who's out there worth following?

Braves. Best farm in baseball, new money to spend with a new ballpark, so they'll only get better over the next few years. good time to start following. they won't be a playoff team this year, so you can start ignoring them in September.

Living in South Carolina this was my first thought. Haven't they kinda sucked lately though?

All I need is another heartbreaker to follow. I'm looking for a frontrunner. Something easy where my team always wins :)

I decided after last MLB season that I needed a team to follow. I went with Tampa Bay. Was born in Florida and I've caught a bunch of rays fishing. Plus they have cool hats. I almost picked the Tigers just because that old school D hat is legit as hell

Harper and Trout are the two most exciting players in the MLB. I don't think Harper drinks or smokes. Heck of a role model for the younger generation.

Just go to whichever Fox Sports regional channel you get and follow the that team. If you pick based on that you get all of their games with the homer announcers which will help you get more invested in the team.

Or just pick the Braves because hopefully soon we won't suck as much

If you're the kind of person who likes to disagree with dumb head coaching decisions, then the Cardinals are where it's at, for now.

Don't be a bandwagoner. Find a team that you consider to be local and follow them.

The only way you're going to be connected to the team is by picking a team you can watch a lot or by a player you can follow. I'd suggest the padres to follow renfroe. If not then, then pick a southern team that you can watch often (cards, Braves).

I grew up in Florida but neither the rays nor the marlins were around until the marlins came when I was 9. I was already a cards fan at that point because I was an Ozzie smith and Brian Jordan fan.

I actually grew up an Expos fan. Memphis was their farm club for several years so I followed some of those guys to the bigs. They actually had a really good farm system back in the day, just couldn't afford to keep players once they reached their potential. Tim Raines, Charlie Lea, Terry Francona, and of course, Razor Shines.

No. A thousand times no.

You can pull for State guys on the team. You can appreciate the individual efforts & careers of some real class acts on the team (Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Gherig, Ruth, Mantle, Maris, etc.). But, to pull for the Evil Empire just because is akin to being a Bama Fan.

I was told the same when I mentioned rooting for the Pens, for a die-hard Pitt fan got me into the sport (for these playoffs at least).

Like others have said, I would become a fan of whatever team is in your regional sports package so that you can watch the games. That way you can really get into being a fan and knowing all about them easier. Being in the Memphis area we get Cardinals, Braves, and even the Reds (I haven't quite figured that out).

I agree except for September. That may be the most exciting month to follow the braves... I expect to see some future pieces then

Texas Rangers are a good team to
Follow. Been my favorite team since childhood. They might not always be the best but they are entertaining.
