Edmund Blackadder Joined: 03/18/2014 Posts: 21 Inactive | Hi Everybody, Just starting out and I have a few questions. To start, I'd like to check out my minors and see who is worth keeping. I could tell in 1-2 cases, and I promoted the old ones who looked worth trying and were shown as ready, but many have little real info. Any hints on how to tell when someone is or is not worth keeping? Many good things in scouting is my first guess. Second, it seems many of my kids are playing in a silly position. I assume that is normal and I just need to move them to one that makes more sense based on their range/arm and projected fielding? I did see a lot of ML players with wierd positions for the skills too though... Third, I just scouted a pitcher who is 16 but has a 40 SI with "good" potential. (5 in velocity, CoS, Control, and Stamina with a 4 in Movement.) That seems, um, good? Should I be excited or does that not really matter? |

None of these are wholly reliable Yes, move them to more sensible positions Your pitcher looks good but it is too early to tell. Most of your minor league players seem to have good scouting reports, just watch them develop and give them as much experience as possible during spring training. |

I would suggest that you fill up you roster to the 50 player max and then you can start dropping the weakest minor leaguer as you want to pick up additional players. Steve |

Edmund Blackadder Joined: 03/18/2014 Posts: 21 Inactive | I'm up to 47 now, and am trying to make/save room for hopeful waiver claims. I need to upgrade a number of ML positions. I have some players I am using now that I can probably afford to drop if I can get a few players off the waiver wire. Is there any way to know how many people have placed or did place waiver claims on someone? Can you scout a new youth player if you have 50 players? If not, I expect I would want to go with 49 so I can check each week in the hopes of getting a star. Thank you all for your help! Updated Sunday, March 23 2014 @ 8:44:07 pm PDT |

Edmund Blackadder Joined: 03/18/2014 Posts: 21 Inactive | Making a lot of use of that screen. Can I tell how many other people tried to claim someone? Was I one of 2 or one of 20? |
