By the way, let me clarify the value of having the full real-world organizational transaction data: it'll show how often DL assignments occur in the minors and how quickly clubs move players around to fill the roster spots in response (my feeling is that minor league clubs often operate shorthanded for a few days after an injury occurs); it'll show the frequency and duration of rehab assignments by major league players; it'll reveal to what degree minor league players are released and signed during a season; it'll make clear just what happens in the rest of the organization when a transaction is made at the major league level (e.g. when a player is called up/recalled or selected from the minors, how quickly are the rosters reshuffled in the minor league affiliates). This, it seems to me, is extremely useful reference data in getting OOTP's AI to behave like real-world organizations do.

Thanks for the reply. I agree that the transaction data could be put to good use. In the end, I hope OOTP can provide us with a good mix of realism and playability. I want the "manage only" for the minors to be a success, so that maybe, just maybe a "manage only" mode will be added to the majors. I currently use workarounds to play this way, but would love it if it was an actual game mode.
