My question is this, what should I look for in looking to release some of these or should I just wait until they retire? Also are there any main skills I should look for when I decide what to train my minor leaguers? thanks

Jose Saenez & Omar Trejo) and start looking for replacements from free agency or the minors. Meanwhile, I’d start re-stocking your farm system so when your older players become unproductive, you’ve got some quality players to replace them. There is no formal retirement in Broken Bat. As players hit their early to mid 30’s, their skills begin to decline. It’s up to you to determine when their skills are diminished enough to finally release them. Steve

Check the box and the results will include any players on the waiver wire included in your specific filter. You aren't guaranteed to get anyone you put a claim on though as everyone else has the ability to do so. Depending on how many people put a claim on a given player, you're not likely to really get any of them. Still a chance though and worth the effort of putting the claim in.
