2. Don't draft, trade for, or sign anyone that is fragile.
3. Don't draft, trade for, or sign anyone that is a clubhouse cancer poor leader.
4. Catchers are so hard to find that I usually go all defense on that position.
5. Sign all international stars(If you have them) to minor league deals as much as possible.
6. Draft pitchers 80% of the time. A great pitching prospect is worth a lot in a trade.

100% on #5. International FA's both 16 year olds and 27 year olds are the key to making your window go from five or seven years to twenty. They're a god damn cheat code if your scout does it well.
