Anyway ...

This is one of two quick posts to answer questions about OOTP2006.

1. Is there a parameter that will keep minor league players in the age range that real minor league teams have?

When starting a new league, I notice that the age range of players is very random (that's fine), but it seems strange to have 38-year-old guys playing A or AA ball. If you haven't made it up by your 30s, you probably never will and likely wouldn't continue to play, would you? More likely, why would a franchise fill a development roster spot with someone who will never develop?

Thanks

While I agree that keeping a 38 y.o. in A or AA is a little strange, there are some things to keep in mind. In addition to being development-based, these teams are in fairly competitive leagues, so a player who's 30-something and contributing, yet not with ML-talent, there's no reason for them to get rid of him.

FWIW, I usually cut players of a certain age and skill level in my low minors
