What is everyone's theory or ideas about overall number of captains?

I usually only see between 30-40 captains in the entire MLB and MiLB combined default setup. Out of 230 pages all of the captains fit on 1 page. Team chemistry is really interesting and I like it a lot. But I am thinking Captains need a reworking.

I actually think Loyalty should be completely eliminated from the equation. That has to do with signing extensions with current team not being a team captain. Loyalty really influences all of the personality traits too much I think. Some places it makes sense. Some it doesn't.

The willingness to be a free agent shouldn't have anything to do with being a team captain. I would say a team captain in game terms would be leadership, work ethic, and desire to win. The Captain holds the clubhouse together what does his organization loyalty have to do with anything?

All team captains have that desire to win. Which team or which contract is business level decisions best left to agents in these times. No team captain wants to stay on a losing team. Teams even trade those players later so they can be on a winning team.

Probably should be around 100 team captains in the entire MLB/MiLB universe at any given time. That way older guys or declining guys can go back and forth to Indy or Overseas and maybe back to the show.
