Is filling out a minor league roster that time-consuming? Because, if it is, HBD probably ain't for you.

Today on : 'Ab's opinion no one asked for or cares about'

also I can see why you wouldn't care about your minors if you are just going to drop the team the first time they miss the playoffs anyways.

It's been a while since I read something about it, but doesn't an better minor league system as a whole benefit the guys developing in the minors whom you hope to some day promote to the bigs?

Better teams = playoffs = more games = increased opportunity for development. Least that's the way I see it.

If ab started a whining/bragging thread, and nobody responded, would the thread exist?

It does, yes. But when I took the this particular team over, there wasn't a single prospect in the system. There currently are 2. So long as my players stay healthy, that's all that matters, even when I do have great prospects. The additional playoff games=meh. They're nice, but I've got too much going on to micromanage 6 or 7 fake baseball teams, as much as I'd like to micromanage 20 of them. Currently, I'm micromanaging 3 or 4. A couple others just don't make sense to micromanage with the current prospect pool. I just want to fill out my roster and field minor teams that don't lose 12-2 every game.

You don't micromanage a thing. You take over unbelievably stacked teams and ride them until they start to decline. You're Joe Torre in the late 90s - fill out the lineup card, sit back and enjoy.
