I wouldn't fret on that score, endgame. From what I can gather, this is a lull time of year on these boards, and to have 500 views and 30 members voting is not too shabby.
Your threads and posts, and the participation of many others in these forums, accomplishes your purpose in this thread, I think. Anyone who comes here consistently will pick up tips and pointers and will assimilate them into their game play styles in his or her own way.
Your partial list above, for example, reminds me or points me in the right direction about several things.
First, I should yellow sticker post-it-to-my-screen the advice to FREQUENTLY CHECK THE WAIVER WIRE!
Also, your injury depth chart idea is a good one; I've been caught in that situation where you had a great depth chart at the ML level but an injury occurs and now you have no backup at AAA. THIS is the time that I will check the waiver wire and find nobody, of course, and there are no good FA's available either. I should have stocked some people at AAA ahead of time, decent backups in case of emergency.
Monitoring ML transactions is something that I have not been doing but should and will to enhance my immersion in the game as well as to learn a thing or two about what other teams are doing and what interesting players are involved. My shortlist currently consists of "my (former) guys" whom I am tracking to see how they do, or players that I traded away to see if I was smart or not. I should be using it to track prospects as well.
So, you see, you accomplish your purpose just by participating here, endgame.
