So agreed, potentially ~30SI more could have been gleaned from the minors. There are examples around of pitchers gaining 50+ SI in the majors, tho ~30 much more typical. Kinda glad bot managers aren't always optimal trainers. Nice to think I might do something better than the bot. Also nice to have that little extra chance of beating a bot.

Training Ergo, you'll see teams cut good players if their salaries are high and their cash balance is low. They will also tend to promote minor leaguers if they're better then players on their current big league roster. Steve

Also nice to have that little extra chance of beating a bot. I agree, so I guess the part I'm really sad about is the fact that I have drafted in 5 seasons a total of one 15 pot player, and this bot wasted a 16 pot player.
