My advice is: Do not rely too much on the AI.

Just a small example: I just started a new season with the Brewers, starting in 1968, on to the expansion draft ...
After I offered minor league contracts to 30 or 40 players, I wanted to save myself from getting headaches about deciding who to place on what minor league level.

I decided to let the AI place my players to AAA, AA and A.

When it was done, I checked my minor league system and found that player A was overmatched at AAA while player B (placed on the AA roster) was "ready for AAA" - shouldn't the AI place a player "ready for AAA" place on AAA ??

This is just when your girl-friend tells you "we don't have it anymore, we should split up" and then turns around and says "Hey, why don't we marry"

So that's my advice - don't let the AI do the really important things ... I'd rather do them myself and fail miserably than giving away control
