Apologies if a thread on this already exists - tried searching but didn't find anything.
Embarking on my first Expansion Team experience and seeking advice on putting a new organization together.
All advice welcome but specifically wondering:
- Expansion Draft: Focus on pitching or hitting in early rounds?
- Experience: Veterans or prospects?
- Free Agents vs Exp Draft: Is either better for key players or filling in remaining gaps?
- Minor leagues: Do I just fill with fictional players or sign FAs to minor league contracts?
Also, is there a way to start an expansion league that starts sooner? The League started a few days before Opening Day. And the Expansion Draft is the day before opening day. So no time to get FAs signed for Opening Day.
THANKS!
