Great guide, thanks.

What roster rules do you use for upper minors in a DH league (eg 25 total, 10 p and 15 h, etc.) I notice you mention 13-15 batters (12-14 pitchers), what is your general setup? I usually use the same as MLB for AAA, AA, and A+). i always seem to have a short term injured pitcher (4-5 weeks or less), but i just set it to allow starters in relieve to cover for him rather than move a player up. Sometimes I think I should switch to 11/16 to cover injuries but then you get too many guys wasting away on the bench.

Just a comment I didn't see you mentioned but maybe you did, I find that on some of the close calls as to which level, I make sure to switch it to ratings relative to AA or whatever. Seems to help me make better decisions.

I totally agree that minor league management adds a lot to the game. I only play historical leagues so I pretty much know in advance who's going to make it to the majors or not, but I still manage the minors a lot like you do just because it's fun despite not being much of a challenge in historical.
