Historical - maybe 1950's or 60's. All the Majors and their affiliated minor league teams.
Added to that - my Ohio Valley independent minor league with AAA through R level teams and feeders from small town high schools and colleges. (I do realize that I have to at least 'classify' it as Majors in setup to be able to manage up and down the ladder)
I would like to role play as manager of one of the Indy organizations.
The big picture goal for the league would be to become a valuable talent resource to the majors .
The immediate goals of the Indy league teams would be twofold.
1. Run a profitable small town team.
2. Develop young players to the level where they can be sent to the majors via cash sales or maybe even trades. I envision players wanting a shot in the OV League because the Majors didn't pick em up and this could be a good path to get there. The cash deals would pay for part of the team expenses.
Restraints would be mostly on talent. I don't want to have guys with big current abilities available to me (those would bypass OV for the big boys). I would like players ranging from the 'never will be' to the 'superstar potential but doesn't have it yet level' to come up through the feeders though.
Do ya'll know of any reasons that this would not be doable?
I can just imagine myself pouring over maps and what not creating the perect storm, only to finally start the game and go, DOH!
I'm willing to use Comish mode to set things (cash, etc) up to start with.
Thanks for any info!

I believe it's doable, but a very large project to start off on if you are new to the game....
You will undoubtedly suffer many false starts when you realize something is not working and may get frustrated at the game.....
