However, since I'm on the low end of the totem pole there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of decisions to be made. Is this the general experience with being GM of a farm team?

Yes, there's not much control you have in the lower minors.

Everyone has their own preference, and you should play around a bit and see what you like. Playing out each game gives you the most control over what happens and allows you time to develop strong storylines and opinions on individual players.
Simming out longer periods of time allows you to feel like the game is progressing faster, and if you're with a lousy team, helps you feel like the next phase of improvement is coming.
I've actually tried all of the above options, and find that simming 1-2 weeks at a time is what I like best. If I play out my games, I get frustrated at how slow the season progresses. If I sim any more than 2 weeks, I feel like I'm losing sight of individual storylines and connection with my team.
