Hi everyone!

I am very new to baseball and ootp and am having so much fun with it!

I have a couple of basic questions about roster management and how to go about playing the game in general.

I have just jumped straight into managing the Chicago Cubs and have set about trading away to make a super roster which includes Buster Posey, Matt Harvey, Jon Lester, Steve Cishek, Jose Abreu, Josh Donaldson and Alex Gordon. These guys are pretty much all 4.5 star players and above but my record is currently 35-45.

So my questions are

a - should i load up my roster with stars like this or have more say 3, 3.5 star players with one or two 4.5/5 star players?

b - i have been doing simulate to next week and letting the computer simulate the results with my chosen lineups. Am I better off playing each game individually and controlling it (given that I still know very little about baseball) or simulating.

I feel that my team should be doing better. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
