So I get the feeling that young teams are the way to go? Do teams with more older players simply not perform as well as older players in the NFL do?

I know.. shitty comparison,but being that my knowledge of baseball teams in minimal, it's all I have to ride with

Well with young teams it typically means the players are locked up for longer, so you're seeing the same faces year in and year out.

Older players are fine. Every championship team is goign to have plenty of seasoned vetrans.

it really just depends on the talent level, not age.

I think people are recommending young teams so you can see up and coming stars of the game and get a feel for the MLB going forward the next 5-10 years.

this too. you'll see the same guys for a longer period of time than just a few older FA signings.

Not necessarily but younger teams are much more fun to watch IMO. Much more energy. The teams stacked with vets are typically the ones who spend tons of money

And if you choose one of those teams (Dodgers Yankees Red Sox Angels etc) you will receive plenty of ridicule

Marlins have 2 superstars in Fernandez and Stanton who are young and under team control. Both also have potential to be MVP/CY Young winners
