Rookie questions
a) just watching the game online via youtube like the walk through... can u only have 1 scout or u can have more then 1 scout...
b) If your rebuilding teams when u do your draft can u sign players that u draft right away or do u let them develop where they are playing and can u track there stats over the season c) In other sports like hockey and such can u trade players for draft picks or no? d) My question is if you have a 40 player or draft a player and u want to have him play in say single A AA or AAA do u have to sign the prospect to your 40 and then send him down to those leagues or can u sign him to a minor league deal and then still own his rights |

If you go to League Setup - Edit League structure you can add odd # of teams but they would not be considered expansion teams. You could also expand by 2 teams do the expansion draft then delete the 2nd team. Hit generate schedule when you are done or look for a schedule that has on add # of teams in GMO 's thread. You may not be able to have 31 teams. Not entirely sure. Never Tried. I have used 9 but that was an accurate 1871 schedule.

Short season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The 2 rookie leagues are for post draft and they play like 90 games max. International complex is a place where you scout will find talent from whichever country you set it up for. Players will be 16-19. At age 20 they automatically are assigned to you lowest level. You can have 50 players max and out of 50 you might get one MLer out of that. I tend to cut 10-15 each year before they turn 20.

Go to the draft pool and choose from the drop down menu on the left above the players. i will try to make a screenshot soon. For some reason it isn't working right now.

Cleaning up some loose ends here that my buddy The Game did not address, to the best of my ability.

You have a time limit to sign draftees (if you choose that option in your game settings, that is). I don't think they develop unless you or somebody else signs them. Yes, you can trade for draft picks but that is another option in game setup. You can have minor league players who are not on your 40-man secondary roster. They are not protected from the Rule 5 Draft, however, and other rules apply concerning putting them on the 40-man and taking them off. Quote:

I don't think so but you can scout interesting prospects individually.

You can offer coaches a spot at whichever level you need them at. The lower the level typically the less they will ask for. Also the lower the level the less they should make.

my hopefully last question hopefully lol is i am doing a expansion team if i take 40 players = 40 rounds in the expansion draft is it possible to sign 60 players between march 31st and april 3rd to fill my AAA, AA and A rosters since they begin on april 4th... just trying to think realistically how many players would be taken in a expansion draft

when it comes to hiring people for your development clubs... i know hitting and pitching u look for the teaching pitching attribute but what do u look for when u hire a bench coach... I know manager is the managing ratings but not sure when it comes to bench coach..

As far as BC i try to find a guy that can handle rookies and veterans well and is strong in both pitching and hitting. I like former MGR's as my BC even if i have to overpay for them. My BC sometimes makes more then my MGR's. For a fictional league I have Ozzie Guillen as my MGR and Tony Larussa as my BC. Ozzie makes 1.3 TLR makes 4.3
