Well, I can only say this. Do I see the transactions that you're referring to as far as player movement , Yes. But it is my feeling that this is the rookie League and movement is the norm rather than the exception. As of right now I have no real data that proves or disproves that this is abnormal movement. Would it be annoying for a rookie league coach? Hell yes but the Rookie Leagues are what they are and until I see some firm evidence telling me that this type of movement doesn't happen I have to accept it as normal and play with the players they give me.

One thing that is obvious to me is that when running a team in this mode and being at the bottom of the food chain you better be a hands on Manager who likes to play out his games and micro-manage his roster or your doomed to get fired. And actually while I've never played this way before I am strongly considering it now, since I really enjoy micro-managing my teams! So if nothing else I have learned something from this thread and for that I am grateful.

Now I'm going to run off and play some ootp14, maybe I'll find the time today to delve into the transactions of real Baseball clubs to see how normal this type of movement is.
