Don't spend a lot of money on your bullpen. You don't need a $10M closer to win. Look for young hard-throwers that are cost-controlled, and trade them when they get ready to demand the big bucks.

This is excellent advice. I arrived at these guidelines independently, and I can tell you that they work. I would add to it to never, ever offer an older player a contract for longer than one year.

According to OOTP itself, OOTP MLB play (modern and historical) outnumbers OOTP fictional play three to one.
Five thousand thanks for a non-modder? I never thought I'd see the day. Thank you for your support.
