Do you execute during-sim changes for teams?
During the course of a sim, will you make changes for a team on whatever day they were requested, or are needed?
For example, if Joe Owner asks you "On the 5th day of the sim, please call up Mickey Pitcher from AAA to the bigs, and send down Lionel Scrubb from the majors to AAA," will you do it? Or, if both of a team's catchers get injured on the third day of a ten-day sim, do you make some adjustment to compensate? |

Or, the most obvious example, if a star player is eligible to come off of the DL on the second day of a ten-day sim, will you activate him?

I'm not a commish. It would be nice to have that done but I've never seen it offered.

Refusing to make changes during a sim is unrealistic and it will wreck a league.
You can't make a team play multiple games without a real catcher. You can't let a star player sit on the DL, when he's healthy and eligible to return. In a season where one win can make the difference between winning a division and missing the playoffs, every game counts. A Commish should go through every team before a sim, and make a list of all the players eligible to come off the DL, and activate them when the time comes, and send their replacements back down. A Commish should check the injury log every day of a sim, and make any necessary roster changes, due to injuries. We put too much work into creating ideal baseball universes to let them go to seed because we're too lazy or foolish to nurture and cultivate the teams. A league isn't a clock that you wind, and then walk away from. It's a garden which you constantly tend. |

As for players sitting on the DL - leagues I've been in have run the sims in amount of days to coincide with a player coming off the DL. ie: 7 days then 8 days. Since OOTP9 where it's possible to change the length of the DL in game, I see a lot of 7 day sim leagues with a 14 day DL. Maybe if the league is your entire life, you might do all those things, but a lot of Commishes have real lives and can't dedicate that kind of time to running a sim.

It doesn't take an excessive amount of time to take a couple of players off of the DL for teams, during a sim. Nor does it take long to check the Injury log, and replace a couple of key players. |

What's your definition of "wrecked?" When a team loses a pennant because of an injury snafu which the Commissioner ignores, that's a wreck. What if said season is the cumulation of a five-season stretch of planning and construction, and is the team's only shot at the postseason? At six weeks real-time per season, the Commissioner has just invalidated seven months of an owner's work, because he wouldn't promote a catcher onto a squad which had none; or he wouldn't activate their star slugger in the middle of a sim.

I too have never seen any league that accepts changes mid sim.
Setting the DL to 14 days (instead of 15 days) for leagues that do sims one week at a time is helpful... and since OOTP 9 leagues have had the ability to change the DL length I've seen this more and more. I've also never seen it happen that both the catcher AND the back-up are injured in the same week. So it has to be a rather rare occurrence. Obviously it's not impossible, but it's gotta be extremely rare. |

The NPBL does it, and so does my Jamaica League.
In all leagues, the Commissioner sits in loco parentis for a league's teams during the sim. Just sitting idly by while the games roll is irresponsible. Quote:

I've been in a number of leagues that will do this. I greatly appreciate it out of my commishes, but I don't necessarily expect it out of the commish.

The CDL (where I am co-commish) processes all trades at the beginning of the sim and makes whatever roster moves requested by the teams involved in the trade. We also will activate people coming off the DL during the sim and make lineup changes based on owner requests. We sim 15-16 days at a time, so it is more important to offer this kind of support than it would be during a 7-day sim.
