Suggestion: In lieu of my suggestion directly above, a setting could be added to have a minor league manager favor playing prospects over playing veterans, OR to have the manager favor playing prospects over trying to win the game.

Reason: Currently, a minor league manager will play to win, and if your super-duper prospect isn't currently as good as your role player veteran guy with no upside, then the manager will play the veteran instead. (Also, even if I set up the lineups to play the prospects, veterans will pinch hit late in the game, also, even if I have my prospect pitchers to be my top relievers, frequently the veteran relievers will be used ahead of them).

This would also allow player development to be similar to the way it used to be, and it is in other games: that you have certain prospects, and ghost players to fill in. With that, your prospects would always play a lot.

Priority: High (MUST have)
