Minor leagues question

wertzy · 03-24-2002, 11:17 AM

My minor league rosters for my Cardinals team is way short on players. I know it puts in "phantom" players to fill in the spots anyways. What I was wondering is if most of you just leave your minor leagues short on players or if you have the game generate more minor league players to fill out the lists. I'm fairly new to the game (just got it late last week). Thanks in advance.

I like leaving them short and keeping them short. If you fill the minors, I personally think it messes something up - don't know what, but I don't like the results.

I use a 3-5 round draft depending on how many players retire at the end of the year.

Plus, it's easier for me to keep tract of my minor leaguers, because there are fewer and they are all decent. Whereas if they were full, there would be more scubs that could impact the growth of the good youngsters.

I keep them pared down as much as possible. I might let a few hang around AAA as emergency injury backups, otherwise anyone over 25 is automatically cut if they can't make it to AA. Anyone on a big league contract is automatically cut if they are recommended to be demoted below AAA. I then use my own gut feel on those in between guys hanging around in AA who are 26 and over.
