I'm a newbie so bear with me... but I'm having a hell of a time promoting,demoting players and staying over the minimum active players #. I have enough players on my ML so I demoted player A, to AAA. I try to promote player b from AA to AAA, than its saying I have too few active on AA. It's just continually going back and forth on which level has too few active players. Not making much sense as I demoted an extra player to AAA just so I can have an extra player to transfer with my AA I'm trying to promote, and still won't let me... Help?

You need a minimum of 20 active players at each minor league level.

If you have some inactive players, activate them to stay at or above the minimums. If you have fewer than 20 players at a level, sign some minor league FA's and assign them to that level.

Simple enough. Thank you. Just found the activate from inact. option, so that helps... Any tips on getting halfway decent, run of the mill minor leaguers?

It sounds like you're still in the pre-season/Spring Training period. Try to sign a bunch of minor league free agents (especialy your own) to fill in your gaps.

Yeah, I'm starting to catch on and learn things after the periods have already past.. lol

Look for available minor leagues who have at least one thing they do well. Defensive specialists are especially useful ... you don't really care if your AA shortstop hits .154 if he provides top-notch defense for the pitchers you actually care about.
