Thank you very much, Kelric, for the info... A few more questions:

1. In League Setup / Functions, what is the difference between what exactly happens when you hit one of these three?

Run Computer Mgr on All Teams
Set all Computer Teams to allow Roster Changes
Set all teams back to being computer-controlled

2. Is there a difference in performing these functions when you are in commissioner-mode vs. not in c-mode?

3. Each of these three functions assumes a prior action ("use if you have modified...," "restores ability of AI...," "sets all teams back..."). Do these functions have any uses other than to revert something? In other words & for example, can you Run Computer Manager on all Teams at any time in order to have the AI take a fresh look at lineups, rotations, etc.? Or is it only useful when "you have modified AI team rosters and want to revert the changes?"

4. Related to #3, if you want to Run Computer Manager on all Teams, it says that "if you have modified AI team rosters..." Does this mean that it will not touch rosters of non-AI teams? Teams to where the "Prevent any AI roster changes" box is checked?

5. If the AI/computer is allowed to make roster moves & trades for affilitated minors, but the majors are either human-controlled or no trades are allowed, then are minor-leagers that are on majors' 40-man rosters pretty much at no risk of being traded within the minors by the AI?

6. I've noticed that some minors teams hired bench coaches, whereas others didn't. The absence of a bench coach appears to make it impossible to ask for Strategy settings help. Am I missing someting, a work-around or something? Or are the only options to 1) set all the strategies myself, 2) leave them at the defaults, or 3) wait until the team hires a bench coach?

Thanks again in advance.
