Thanks for the feedback.
You are the only one that made any comment.
Yet 20 people view this each time I post a new league summary.
I plan to stay with it.
Not having to cover each game has helped. I also like the fact that I can play a season quicker...about twice as fast. It will take 6 months to play a season.
I want to give players a good chance to stay in the AAA. I don't want to be too quick to drop them from the roster. I will add a few players in the last month and see what they can do. The Sox are going to finish in the second division, so it won't hurt them, if I play the "rookies". If a player is having a good season, I don't usually put them on the bench just to play a rookie. So this limits how many players I call up.
Most of the time, I only go to the "minors", when I need to replace someone because of injury...or because they have very poor stats.
One problem with the Alltime Allstar format is that many clubs don't have that many great ballplayers. The White Sox are one of these teams.
I keep a list on each team of potential call-ups. Right now pitchers Doc White, Dick Donovan, Juan Pizarro, Alex Fernandez, Jack McDowell and Roberto Hernandez are on the list...position players OF Johnny Mostil, 3B Bill Melton and 3B Willie Kamm are waiting in the wings. I may recall Robin Ventura and Nellie Fox and give them another chance.
If you have any suggestions, let me know...and I will consider them.
The Dodgers are another team that will soon run out of top level players...the Indians, too.
Team like the Yankees, Cardinals and the Giants seem to have more top level players.
I will reach a point...don't know how soon...when I will have to use expansion team players on the original franchise teams or expand the league to include the expansion teams.
I haven't made any decision about this.
