After working my way up the minor leagues starting in 1871 and winning the AAA two years in a row, I got promoted to GM of the ML team at the end of 1876.

I've been given lots of responsibilities I didn't have before and I don't really know what to do.

1. The game says I need to hire a new AAA manager. I see the list of potential managers... what criteria do I use to decide who I want, and how do I know what a good offer is? I don't even know what a high or low offer is.

2. I am now in charge of which league level players are at. How do I determine what league a player should be at? The game has a list of players on the Manager home page it says should be demoted. I know that the star-rating is a general evaluation of how good the player is, but I don't really know where to draw the line between one league and the next. I noticed when I was in the minor leagues that the AI GM would sometimes shuffle players around every day, which was kind of a nuisance. Is that a quirk of a computer-controlled GM, or would I be moving players that frequently as well if I'm doing it right?
