Minor League Strength

Okay. Here is something that I was thinking about while doing the Amatuer draft. I would LOVE to see something like this implemented into the game. You know how when you are drafting, you can click on "Display Filled Positions" and displays the breakdown of number of players at that position. Well, why not go a little deeper with that, and show a "Position Strength" to the right hand side of that break down. Have it be on a scale of 1 to 10 or something like that, were it says how deep you are at that position. I find that I end up drafting a ton of Starting Pitching and finding out that I'm really weak at Catcher or something like that. I think it would be great to be able to get some "coaches insight" or whatever you want to call it during the draft to say Shortstop, 4 players, depth-3, meaning "Hey we suck at the position. Let's draft one." Let me know what you guys think about this.

Not a bad idea. Also:

-include players who have defensive ratings at that position even though it's not their primary listed position
-have avg "stars" of players at that position
-have a link to the best player at that position

I wouldn't mind seeing more customizable minor leagues, such as being able to have more or less teams in the minors than in the majors, for example. For many years, there were only 16 major league teams but 24 AAA level minor league teams.

That reminds me, I really have to write up that independent minor leagues suggestion... it would include some of what I'm talking about above...
