I think what I've decided to do is start in 1986 as a new manager and manage the Rangers. I grew up in North Texas and watched this team a lot back then and they were always disappointing. I will probably just manage the guys they had then and keep the league following history for a few seasons. Then maybe add GM responsibilities if I see some success and let the league go more organic. This will satisfy my need to relive the late-80s as they were but also allow me to cultivate my own experience later on when the fond childhood memories have faded away.
I'm interested to see how my managing of lineups and pitching staffs will affect our results, if any, over what Bobby V was able to do. What settings do you guys recommend using to keep things as close to real life as possible? I wouldn't mind seeing a guy's AVG go up or down +/- .010 or his HR/SB go up or down +/- 5 but I want them to have similar seasons to real life. Also, if I do a better job with lineups and pitching staffs, is it possible to see a guy's RBIs and run totals go up because of this? Can you affect pitchers performance in any way?
