Staying connected to my farm teams?

[mariner4life]

I would like to find ways to stay better informed about the day-to-day happenings with my farm system. In my inbox, I get a game recap for my MLB team every day, as well as series previews. Is there an option to get these for your farm teams? For me, it's too tedious and redundant searching out the box scores for each farm team every day and reading through them, but it would be great to get the recap in my inbox for each team.

I already get the weekly team power ranking emails for every league level so I know how they performed for the week. I also get the awards emails weekly to see if any of my players performed exceptionally well. I also look at my player development reports monthly.

I would really enjoy some type of "this is what's happening in your farm system" email once a week that just shows every farm team, their record for the week, the top couple of batting and pitching performers for that week, etc. Maybe even a scout suggestion on players from each team that should be moved up/down.

Anyone have any tips on how they stay connected to their farm system outside of what I've mentioned? Looking to make this as automated as possible rather than to "search" through each team on a daily basis.

I would actually agree with you that something like this would be nice. To your point, really going to search out the individual box scores can be tedious. I do check the stats for the individual teams periodically, but a weekly email recap from each of the farm teams in the org. would be nice, maybe even with a "click here" for the stats for the week link built into the email.

Maybe once a week visit each team's page. You could go to your

MLB team>schedule (at a glace see as many days as you want)
Upper menu change to your AAA club and you'll be looking at their schedule.
rinse and repeat down to each level.

Or do the same but just use the team's home page. Depending on how it's setup there can be a lot of information all in one place.

Schedule showing the last 3-4 games and upcoming games
Hot cold streak box
Leaders in batting and pitching
etc etc.
and of course the schedule tab is right there if you want to see the month, last week, or last series etc.

You don't have to do this daily. Once a week, I think, would suffice, and how much longer would that take than reading each email?

Just throwing it out there. TIFWIW.

Like Sweed says. I typically go weekly and review. I will look at overall stats at a glance and then filter to look at last week/two week totals

I would love a minor league weekly recap report. I’m the freaking GM, someone should give me the report, not tell me to go find it myself

Nail, meet head.

The minor league system report tells you if you a player is right for that level, ready to be promoted or overmatched. It doesn't always follow the arrows and is more granular.

The best way imho to stay connected is to manage every promotion/delegation manually and to shortlist players who you are interesting to you. You'll get more emails about shortlisted players than if they're not.

Every two week I spend 15 minutes and go through my entire minor leagues (except for the DSL, I never go there) and look at how they are performing, who is injured, the team record, etc. I'll also sign minor league free agents if I need some warm bodies.

I'm curious, what detail would you want to see in this report? The same info repeated for each level? Only "special" performances, games get mentioned?
The record for the week, best batter, best P, and links to the team pages if you want to go deeper?

I'm not against them adding this report, and in fact would probably enjoy it too. Though depending on format it might feel a bit repetitive, kind of like the scouting report for an upcoming series. Not necessarily a bad thing if the info is relevant. IE with a standard report your eyes would be "trained" on where to go.

I also wonder about the length of the email if you are covering an entire organization and all are included in one report. Does it get "too busy"? Would it be better with individual reports? IDK, just thinking out loud.

Would it really save time over running down all of your team's menus from the parent club home screen? Again, not saying I wouldn't want or use a organization report that gave me the info all in one place. I wonder about the detail and time saved, if any, compared to a quick run through of the home screens?

Maybe they could just flesh out this report with more information, and it's available all of the time. IE record over last week, month, 10 games etc. Maybe the hot or cold list? All of the players along with recommendations are already there.

Could then be as simple as adding an email to prompt you to review your minors at whatever time frame you choose and linking the report?
