You know one thing that would really help IMHO? Make adjustments in development so that it is waaay more dependent on what happens to them in the minors. If your first round future stud plays on a High A team that goes 23-121, he develops very little. If he plays on a team that goes 112-32, he develops very well, plus give him a true bonus bump for making the playoffs....including an increase in his ceiling. It still won't matter to a handful of owners, but for most, it will make managing the minors a higher priority.

Thanks tec, and you make a good point.

Retirements are an owner problem.

I had 2 position players retire in MG and 1 in Coop in my most recent seasons.

I just learned that having retirements is a good thing. Free coaches, sometimes good ones!

I've found 5 pitchers ranging from 50-55 projected... good enough to be in AA.
