Yoyo-ing

ezpkns34 · 02-24-2020, 07:00 PM

I have Carson Kelly as my starting catcher with Austin Hedges as my backup and I just traded for Austin Nola (a super utility player who can play all 8 positions, though is just okay behind the plate)

I was thinking of moving Hedges to AAA except on days my starting catcher needs a day off and moving Mr Utility down to AAA on those days, but would the yoyo-ing back and forth upset Nola? Or is that something which would vary by player based on player personality?

On another note it's completely unrealistic.

Irl once you send a player down they have to stay there for 10 days. Only called up before 10 for injury list replacement.

Plus ootp doesn't account for travel time. Say mlb and milb away games. Or if your aaa team is on the opposite coast.

That sometimes costs teams 2 days irl or crazy stories of milb taking Uber to a game 6 hours away.

This would never happen in MLB, but this could work in the game.

To see if Nola or Hedges would be upset by this, you would have to look at their role/expectation in-game. If they expect to be in the starting lineup or a bench player, they would probably be upset if they were in the minors for an extended period of time, but since it's constantly changing, I doubt there would be much of an effect.

I would personally just keep Nola up, he's a useful player

Reason: ha, just realized I posted in the 21 section instead of 20, my fault
