wolvie, i realized that my AA stadium has the same effects as my ML stadium, and put my best prospects in AA.

I am already seing the effects coachs can have on a team. My AA coaching was the last to be filled. These coachs are not very good for the level. It is also the level where i have more injuries, and the most serious one as well

Yeah, but if he doesn't clear waivers, you've really cleared the roster spot - he's gone.

In general, if the player is of any value to you, you should not do anything that requires him to clear waivers.

Holy crap, I had no idea. That would have really, really helped my pitcher fatigue issue.

2 HBD days later, he's still at 1 day. I think it's Mark Prior in disguise.

Maybe Dominic Hasek switched sports.

How time consuming is this Hardball Dynasty? My wife still loves me despite the time I spend here (2 GD teams). Will it cost me my marriage?
I'm a baseball coach in real life so I'd love to play. However between time at the field and time with my maintaining my affair (with GD), I'm pushing it as it is.
Please advise.

It's only time-consuming if you wnat to really be competitive. If you go in half-***ed, you may as well send me the 25 bones for a team and I'll email you boxscores of your team getting throttled.

Things change EVERY game cycle. You need to maneuver players to compensate for fatigue, injuries, promotions, demotions, waivers, etc. If you're not able to get to the game for long stretches, I'd re-consider jumping into the shark tank.
If you can hit it at least once a day (preferably three times), you can survive, but you'll have trouble succeeding.

The first two weeks will keep you glued to your computer. Or make you want to get to your computer. I think it levels out after that when you're "finished" tinkering with your team.

Here's one more thing I'm learning: you need to plan for injuries. Make sure you have access to backups, either on your ML roster or AAA guys who can be called up to fill the need.

Don't anyone laugh, I already mapped out my budget for season 1. Just have to stick with it now.

I have an idea of what I want to spend on some of the categories, but I'm going to wait and see what I'm dealt before committing to anything.

you'll dump GD like a bad habit. Im already figuring out what needs to go so I can have 2-3 HBD teams. Some of the HD teams will have to go,and I never thought Id cut back much there.
