So for the PM that requested opinions about our teams, I thought that was interesting and thought I would post here as well. Here is what I put in my response.
Favorite player on your ML team, and why (not necessarily the best)
20-yo 2B/SS Jeremy Owbridge, because I drafted him four seasons ago (2nd round), and it's been fun watching him do better than projections. I hope to be able to make him a fixture of my team for years to come
Favorite prospect in your system, and why
Interestingly, it is 20-yo SP Adam Barber, who I picked in first round in that same draft. He has more potential to be a "star" than Owbridge, but hasn't improved quite as quickly in "actual" ratings. Both players have improved in potential ratings now (he is listed as 60 potential overall).
Favorite food at your home ballpark (and/or drink) hot dogs, what else?
Probably Rum and coke to drink
Your GM Philosophy:
Set up strong minor league system to feed majors. When I draft, I like to pick batters who have strong defensive ratings (except 1B) with the idea that they might surprise to the upside on hitting, but rarely improve base defensive ratings. For pitchers, I try to focus on expected CON (and, to a lesser extent, MOV) as STU might improve as their arm gets stronger, but low CON potential players rarely seem to do better than expected.
Your thoughts on your team for '45
I hope to be playoff-bound again. Only problem is that I have been pretty much shut out on any of the really good free agents I wanted, and my payroll is only 38m (with 55m salary cap). However, I think I make up for that with a team that has a lot of really good low or minimum-paid players, so I expect I can make playoffs again.
What makes UMEBA special?
Only 8 teams to keep track of keeps it small and manageable. Trying to find gems in discarded BBA players.

Re: 2045:01 Thought I would post my answers
Yeah, Fat Nige, but I tend to focus on "tall" players with good hitting potential at 1B (even if they are listed at another position), though I also want to see a decent INF Error rating. Decent INF range is gravy (like 3 to 5).
