How do you deal with the low minors & so many players?
I suppose this is really two questions, but they are somewhat related...
I'm finishing up my third season, and I'm tired of dealing with the low minor leagues. I play as GM of the Tigers and I have AAA, AA, two A teams, a short-season team and three rookie league teams. I've tried to let the computer manage some of these, but they make some screwy decisions like benching my high-potential SS for some guy that's older with a half-star rating. But separate of a few players here and there, most of my rookie and short-season teams are stocked with 1-star players or less. With three seasons complete, I'm not really seeing a benefit to having these teams, the only good prospects I end up with come from the draft and I typically start them no lower than short-season ball.
Is there a way to eliminate some of these - say, my three rookie league affiliates - now? Or is that only possible from a new game?
Somewhat related, every year after the draft I find myself going through the three rookie teams, the short season team and both A teams to figure out which players need to be assigned where, which ones should play, etc. After the first few rounds of the draft, most of the players are 0.5 stars so I end up with three full teams of these types of players. I tried to shorten the draft, but as soon as I do it says that doing so will eventually lead to the game running out of players. Not sure what or how the best way to handle all of this is.
