Anyone Like Coaching in the Minor Leagues?

Hi guys,
I just bought OOTP 17 and have had a blast so far. This is my first baseball game in years (and first OOTP game) so I decided to start playing with the Dodgers Single-A affiliate, the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes.

I was just curious if anyone else enjoys climbing up the ranks in A or AA and if anyone has reached the MLB level.

I tried this with my very first OOTP sim in version 8 or something. I started unemployed, then got hired in AA with the A's in 1929 or something. We won the championship and I immediately got promoted to AAA, who was about to enter the playoffs that season. They won the championship and I was immediately promoted to the majors where i eventually made it to two world series, then got fired after not making a third, got hired by the Tigers and fired midseason.

Then got hired by the Cardinals as my next team I made two more world series in a row but lost both.

That sim made it to OOTP 11, still one of my favorites but haven't gotten aroudn to importing it through every version to get it up to OOTP 17.

Managing in the minors was fun to try for a season but losing and gaining players every couple games and having to tweak the lineups over and over got old for me.
