I just finished my third season as GM/Manager of DET and there are some things I know I should be doing but have a hard time making myself do. My payroll is ridiculously small (I think under $50 million next season). All but a handful of my players are not yet arbitration eligible or just now getting into arbitration and it's too early to consider extending them. So I have all of this extra money and I can't make myself max out other budgets. It feels like wasted money to me even though I know it probably isn't.
Also have been pretty annoying letting my assistant GM handle the minor league stuff. I do promote/demote guys occasionally, but when I see a player sitting in the same R league for 3 seasons and he's played well in all of them I just get annoyed. I'm not sure I want to try to take all of that on myself, however. Sounds tedious to try to make sure A- has enough pitchers, etc.
