Hopefully my newly promoted youngsters will gain some training, in the previous seasons I haven't seen much improvement to my players SI during spring training.

I've lost about 15 straight and they've been absolute blowouts. I'm wondering if I'm doing anything wrong because this has never happened before to me and I'm beginning to worry. Edit: After the first two games, I started playing my minor league guys Updated Tuesday, June 16 2015 @ 12:46:00 am PDT

And who knows, maybe one of them will surprise you and hit/pitch better than expected? I personally don't only play minor league guys, also some guys (25yo or less) that are close to the lineup and I want to decide which one of them will make it (if any). The win-loss record is negligible. After a quick glance at your spring pitching, seems you have a lot of Rookie/A pichers. Don't expect too much of them My Rookie/A pitchers have following spring ERAs: 27.00, 21.60, 27.00, 13.50.

Yeah, as I said it's meaningless, though my team has a history of under-performing in spring training even by minor league guys' standards. Lost 5 straight to a couple teams who for whatever reason were playing their major league rosters, but managed to steal a win even against one of them. In seasons past the small number of games has meant that the sample size was really too small to mean anything, the fact that we are playing against minor league players some days and major league guys other days still limits the usefulness of the data, but hopefully at least the sample size worries will be diminished.
