Some good info here. I definitely get flustered with the nuances of micromanaging my minor leaguers. I generally set players, in the strategy screen, to play certain positions when I draft them and then don’t touch them again unless they were really impressive to start with or until they look promising by AA. I tend to draft/sign SP with stuff over 55 and with control and movement, I like to see over 50 (I’ll take lower control if the stuff is high), plus three non-change up pitches. It seems like I get serviceable guys, but rarely anything approaching a 1 or 2 starter. Good defense at catcher, SS, and CF seems to make lesser starters have good seasons, at least.

As a follow up to my .400 hitter story from above, he fell back to Earth and has hit a more reasonable .360ish the past few years, but two years after he did it, an OF for the Angels hit in the .420s. I’m in the mid-2040s now and am enjoying all the new “history” that has been made.
