Managing rookie league games was insane, because you'd see similar players on the other teams as well. So, it was your roster being shut down by some pitcher that ought to be in AAA, except for your own 'ringer' outfielder who also should have been in AAA, thus he was the only one who could hit him.

I had the same experience while managing Short-Season A for the Tigers - and I decided to forget working my way up if things were going to be done in that fashion. Sucks that the AI is so weak, but I guess that's the limitation of current coding technology.
Your answers have certainly shed some light on the whole mess; thank you so much. I'm going to start a new game and go from there, just so I don't have to deal with this mess I've got right now.

It's hard to give absolutes like that. It depends on your league. I mostly go by their statistical output - if they are succeeding at a level, you move them up. But in general, the red numbered guys should be in rookie and Short A leagues, orange numbered guys should be in A and maybe AA, then yellow numbered guys should be in AA and AAA. This is VERY rough and generic.[quote]
Rough guide indeed, but it's better than nothing when you're just starting out in a game. Thanks for the suggestion.

Funny guy! Personally, I'll take Mungo any day. Hamsters seem more intelligent than some... people, if you care to call them that!
Thanks for the answers, Marc and Tribe. Most enlightening and helpful.
Here's hoping Markus and the gang retool the scouting system in version 11.
