Chicago Cubs: Flipping off the Curse

Was attempting a dynasty with Cincinnati, but I just couldn't deal with playing against the Cubs. I don't have access to Xbox Live right now, so I'm playing with the original 2k13 rosters.

162 games
Pro (probably bumped to next level once I get a hang of the game)
1 WC game, best of 5 DS, best of 7 CS, best of 7 WS

Transactions:
Cubs trade: LF Alfonso Soriano & C Dioner Navarro
Yankees trade: MR Cody Eppley & LR Jim Miller

Cubs sign LF Delmon Young to a 3yr/$4.65 mil contract
