Using a Minor League Team in Franchise

[lblakers24]

Is there anyway you can take a minor league team like the Las Vegas 51's and put them in the majors in franchise mode?

Simply put, no. You can always play them in the Minors though but they would not be the MLB team.

If I ran a Minor League Franchise, would I have control over trades and call-ups? Or does the MLB team run the Show by proxy?

I've always wanted too but never do it. I've always wanted to take my local team, turn all franchise options to auto, and play. What ever players get traded or called up I just roll with.

That would be fun to do, dealing with a constantly changing lineup and rotation. It would be a totally new lineup year. Then in a couple of years, if you got bored, you could always pretend you got hired by the big league club and start managing them as well. I think I found my new franchise model...

I did that to kill time until the patch came out. It's pretty fun and a unique perspective - I had no control over who the parent club assigned, it was just take what I've got and make the best possible lineup each day.
