Curious about Overall Roster Strategy
I'm curious to know what other folks use in the "Overall Roster Strategy" on the Team Strategy page. Every time I make a slider change, I hesitate, and return it to default because I'm not exactly sure what I may be about to inflict upon my beleaguered team. I've studied the manual page but would like to hear from some veterans if anyone cares to share.
Anybody care to pipe in about settings and reasons? |

You guys all control rosters? I've been GM'ing and letting my managers do the roster moves.

I control roster moves, handle trades, personnel, and extensions. I don't bother setting lineups or the pitching staff. The overall strategy is great for this as I can tell the staff what I care about more. If there's a player who I think the AI should be playing, but they aren't, I will set strategy manually. I just wish there were more options for Set Strategy.

+1.
I'd quite like an option to force start a player at a certain position in the lineup. Also, if i force start a positional player, i'd really like for the AI manager to not have a backup playing every other day and another every 5 days. That pretty much defeats what i'm trying to do. Though, sometimes i do want to force start two players in 1 position, game on, game off. A way to partially set up lineups would be good. As in, i can just focus on particular guys and the AI can fill the lineup around them. Right now, it's almost easier to manually do everything. Do we have a thread in the v14 suggestions room for stuff like this yet?

Edit - my bad, reread your post and see you're talking about where they hit in line-up. |

I just finished my first full season. For the first year, I let the AI handle all the minor league rosters and only manually handled the big club. It must have worked out well for me, seeing as I took the 2012 Twins to the world championship Now that I've got the hang of the game a bit more, I'm going to take over the minor league roster moves too - I didn't like it very much when I'd trade for a minor leaguer only to find out some time later that the AI released him. Maybe once I'm into year three I'll be ready to handle the minor league lineups and pitching too.

I can't imagine the time it must take to control minor league bumping and lineups. Someday, maybe. Maybe over the holidays...
