You say you have a couple hours at the end of each day? You should be able to handle it with plenty of time for the rest of your leisure activities.....unless your like me and can get lost for hours upon hours in your single A lineups

Really depends how much you want to micromanage. Generally sim to sim during the season there isn't a whole lot to do. See how things are going, check for injuries/slumps, make some changes. You can just manage your top prospects in your minors or you could manage everyone, up to you. There is more time involved in prepping for the ammy and rule 5 drafts. How much do you want to trade?

I'd say basic managing your team can be from minutes per sim to 30 minutes or much more if you want. I don't find it time consuming but you can get lost in it and I have spent many many hours more often than I want to admit.

Not sure that answered your question since it depends a lot on you and how you want to play. You just have to be willing to stick with it on a routine basis to make your time in an online league worth it for you and the rest of the league.
