2043, Trade Deadline/Sim #22 Chatter

[Fat Nige]

Atlantic City Gamblers: CL Carlos Flores was injured when his fingers got stuck in a bowling ball. The Diagnosis: Sprained ankle. This is a day-to-day injury expected to last 4 days.

Been there, done that.

Also, ankle?

That was his problem, obviously he was sticking his toes in the bowling ball

[Fat Nige]

Also, can you all at least auto your minors or something if you're not going to fill out your SA and R teams? SA isn't as bad as R ball but sheesh.

I agree one thousand percent. If you can’t develop your minors please just turn it over to your staff. You never know they might find a real gem. It’s no fun thrashing teams with four pitchers on the roster or thirty pitchers

This isn't the first league I've seen that issue in. For anyone who doesn't know, you can have your assistant GM manage your minors while also locking certain players. So if you have guys you like and want to handle yourself, you can do that and the assistant GM won't move them around while he moves around other guys and keeps your minors depth in line.

3-3. Third straight non-losing sim. 10-9 in the last 3. I can live with this.

I'm not the best at keeping up with my minors the best I can, but I think I usually keep 28-30 players at each level most of the year with each position filled. Tbh, I don't try to be competitive with any minor league team though. I just try to develop players, but I don't try super hard. I just let my managers control the staff and lineups and I force a few things to get players learning new positions and such.

This is pretty much what I do. I keep a minimum of 10 pitchers (shoot for 12 at least), and I do handle all promotion/demotion but the manager handles all lineups and rotations.

[HerbD]

I always make sure the best prospects are getting in the lineup/rotation

[bcslouck]

I don't handle my lineups either. I mean keep teams with ages that are more appropriate for that league and having enough pitchers.

[bcslouck]

I'm not going to make a big deal about it. It's an online league problem, not a BBA one. Only way to solve it is age limits.

Playoff odds at 90% and my team is absolutely surging. Not a ton of easy games ahead.

And only 3 games left against Charlotte.....

Right. Those games not included in "easy games."
