I mean, i start to lose interest exactly in the moment i couldn't sign free agents. since i'm battling for LAST place, i just wait friday to make my draft choice. and stop. i'm asking if we can find something nice to keep interest between the "trade deadline" and the end of the season. i don't know exactly what.. but.. something good for "team rebuilding". something like: signing off a veteran (32+ yo) after the deadline, it gaves you an extra draft pick. and i don't have to use it immediately, i can just "wait" for the right prospect week by week. i mean.. something like that! how about?

I come day by day to see if I can beat some of the best teams, and I did. My two stars can be bench players in better teams; my closer is a 30y pitcher with 76 SI, and he, in his first season, broke the all-time saves record of the team (30). But I love this team.

At this point, any player on the 40-man roster can play for the Major League team. September call-ups are players from the minors who are playing in September to get Major League experience and, especially for teams in contention, to provide reinforcements down the stretch. See September call ups http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_rosters Experience is a very important part of player development, you cannot rely on training alone. If you are not in contention for anything then this is the ideal time to promote some of you minor league players

I have made the season move along quickly so if you’re having a bad season, you can look forward to a new one in a relatively short interval. Also, I have everyone playing on the same ladder (league structure), so hopefully teams will get sorted over time and through promotion and demotion and are normally playing against similar levels of competition.
