I don't do ageing
... I've only got 1 player who is 30 or over

For some reason there always seems to be someone who will take a guy of 31/33 who is on $10M+ who is under performing off my hands .... Trading for 2 or 3 prospects seems to sway it and and course I'm reducing the wage bill by a huge amount so can afford to sign a younger, stronger replacement for less or worse case scenario the same money.

And after 110 games
.... I'm 91-19
.827

Yeah, ur team is loaded. And you're doing it the way I do as well. I tend to trade my guys before they're 30 or whenever their arbitration is up.

So I would suggest looking for a few more prospects that are contact hitter with exceptional speed that are excellent defensive guys at either 2B, SS, or CF to give yourself dominant #1 & #9 hitters.

Also try to get pitchers that give up 70% groundball with 95+ MPH velocity with decent control (60+). So you can package your prospects up for the truly dominating guys (if you don't already have them all!)

And since you have so much talent in your organization, try to develop 1 or two guys who are already stud defensive players. At the worst they could end up being back ups. But if you can get their hitting up to par with your guys, then your team might go 160-2 one season lol!
