      Of course. Aren't they brothers?

            Well, there is no exact secret, but old players decline very fast. That's about all.

              Do the minor league players and draft picks progress to nice levels?

                Take, for example, my first round pick in my 10 year (fantasy draft) chise—a shortstop. By year 3, he was starting, but rated 78 (I was a speed-oriented team, weak up the middle). By year 5, he stole 50 bases a season to go along with 15 homers. Year 8: 90 overall and more balanced.

                But it really depends on the skill of minor league coaches, and whether the pick/player has a fairly good potential (In that chise, I had about 20 5-star prospects). For them to get to a very high level, you will have to wait for several years; but the prospects can fill in at a weak position, if necessary.

                Not words to live by though.

                    Thanks for the input! I looked into it, and it's very tempting to take Marte, but I have a soft-spot for other small market teams. And since Marte (along with McCutcheon) look to be franchise-type players, I don't feel right snagging him. However, the Pittsburgh farm system had a very good 5-star prospect in AAA named Garret Chase. I was able to pick him up in exchange for Harry Ludwick (my crappy LF with zero hits in 48 AB) and my backup catcher Tyler Flowers (batting a measly .119). To satisfy my need for a backup catcher, I also ended up signing Ryan Hanigan, who was a free agent.

                    Thanks again for the input! I'll post some updates after some fun games. I already have one in mind to post, but I'll put that up later today.

                            Hello everyone.

                            I'm new to the 2k series, and I've been having trouble tracking down franchise guides. There are a few things I am having trouble with.

                            First, I don't know how to manage my roster properly. I'm trying to move Halladay into my bullpen, but I have no idea how to do it. I know he's on the DL, but in my game it says that he's healthy, so I don't see that as the issue.

                            Also, I am unable to manage my minor league. I have the sliders set to manual automation, but the option for minor league is grayed out. This makes it impossible for me to call up any players onto my roster.

                            I'm not sure what's going on.

                              In spring training in the only time the minor leagues are greyed out, so you need to advance to regular season.

                              Also, go into the gm/manage roster and click the left stick (360) down to page through A-AAA.

                              It's not the easiest to navigate but I picked it up fast.

                                Hey thanks. I really wish there was a guide for this.
