During the regular season I keep a lot of extra notes on the side in wordpad docs about the league. my personal monthly awards etc, keeping track of pennant races every season to look back on, writing down historical or big games. For my team every day I hit quick play on my team's game and then auto sim the day. I check the news stories then.
During the all-star break I hand select the entire league running them through a votes system I made and then I run a homerun derby with the 4 best HR hitting all-stars from each league.
About once every week or two i look through my lineups and pitching staff to make tweaks or to check up.
Come playoff time I run real-time sim at 40 factor for all games. For the World Series I personally watch every game no matter who makes it.
After the season I manually do about 15 or so awards with MVP and pitcher of the year going through a voting system. The other awards are hand selected by me (silver slugger, gold glove, foreigner of the year, best overall defensive player, southpaw award, all-pro 9 man squad etc) and I keep track of team seasonal records (most one run victories, extra inning wins, best home record) and monthly player records (mos hr in month etc).
After awards I assess my entire organization, releasing veteran minor leaguers who may never off value, trades, etc.
Once every three seasons in January I run a World Baseball Classic for 16 countries.
Also in January is the Hall of Fame voting process along with hand selected Team Hall of Fame Inductions (one player to each team HoF every 7 seasons).
January also is time for the Collective Bargaining Agreement to be checked on.. If it's expiring that season I enter a bargaining system I made to see if the season will begin on strike and go from there.
Come spring training if i have any jobs that are up for grabs or am trying to pick a #4 or #5 starter from a handfull of people I'll watch ST games and whittle my choice down as spring progresses.
Come April I do it all over.
