Jalapeno5 Joined: 06/01/2014 Posts: 226 Inactive | Hi Everyone, As I'm still pretty new to this game I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding whether the minor leaguers I've invested in are ever going to amount to anything. Are there any players in my current line-up I should give up on? At what point do people make this call? Cheers! |

They just have such a low ceiling that the wait for them isn't likely to be worth it. Maybe look through a few of these free agents and see if any would be better investments until you get some draft picks that are more talented: http://brokenbat.org/player/84489 http://brokenbat.org/player/82078 http://brokenbat.org/player/82797 http://brokenbat.org/player/87091 http://brokenbat.org/player/87735 http://brokenbat.org/player/89034 http://brokenbat.org/player/89247 http://brokenbat.org/player/90361 http://brokenbat.org/player/80300 http://brokenbat.org/player/90165 http://brokenbat.org/player/90317 |

Jalapeno5 Joined: 06/01/2014 Posts: 226 Inactive | Thanks for the advice there - that's really good to know... I was planning on having a cull of some of my minor leaguers rather than replacing them as I need to reduce the wages bill at the moment; but thats a really helpful starting point - thank you! | ||

Somewhat at the expense of my major league squad. Some of the more experienced owners might have a better idea of how to go about it. Good luck o/ | ||
