I'm a simmer and I watch every day with Real-Time Simulation (300 speed, though). I do the following:

If a player is in the top performers of the day and I notice he changed teams since last I saw him, I click on his name and check to see how he was acquired.

Also, I keep an Excel spreadsheet of series and season-by-season records of the historical Astros against the other teams in the National League. I do that so when there is a sweep I can say it's some team's first series sweep in the Astrodome since xxxx, the first time the Astros have won a season series in a city since xxxx, or the first time they've won or lost a season series against a team since XXXX and things of that nature.

I look at the lists from previous years on 506 Sports forum just to get an idea of which teams were on the Game of the Week on a given Saturday in a particular year. I also use that list to schedule and stagger game times when the playoffs start.

I look at the expanded standings once a week to look at the teams' run differentials to see which teams might be ready to take off or fall apart.
