The Angels are in the hunt all four times that I've run the season. I'm consistently seeing the Yankees and Dodgers near the top of the heap.

What puzzles me is just how variable the results are for Detroit, Boston and Houston. Sometimes they are the wildcard and, other times, completely out of contention.

I really cannot believe Detroit and Kansas City pop up in the running.

Two questions for Halofan:

-- Any idea why automanager would send Reds 1B Sean Casey to the minors (78 contact rating, career year last year, still young for a veteran) and put Victor Diaz, 23, (a 73 contact hitter) on the main roster?

-- I appreciate all of your hard work, especially on all the minor league prospects, ratings, etc., but will you have a final version where you manually fill in the rosters and rotations with the most likely starters?

Automanager just makes some really odd decisions.

I'll post more specifics about the four seasons that I ran, especially the league totals to help you see if they're in line with the real thing.
