Who dares question my Commishing style!?!?!
I am willing to stop my sim every in-game day and check some things and make sure no team is at an unfair disadvantage because of something they have no control over.
Yours is a good point. By making moves for teams, I risk doing things that they won't like. I just try to be smart about it, I've got some guidelines that I follow. My main guideline is: treat the team as if it were my own, without letting my own personal style affect my decision. I never bring up a prospect, for example, or do anything that puts a team at risk. My owners know how I handle things, and I follow all their instructions. If an owner were to ask me to keep my hands completely off, I would do so without hesitation.
Really, it takes an extreme situation for me to do anything, but those situations do arise. Like I said before, I just want to keep things realistic. If a major league ballclub had no uninjured catchers on its roster, or if it were reduced to having seven healthy pitchers, or it was down to two outfielders, or any number of other combinations of circumstances, it would do something. A team would not wait even a day before it called up a healthy catcher, or re-stocked its pitching staff to being large enough to play games effectively.
In the course of a sim, sometimes there are moves that need to be made, and I make them. I'm not going to let a team founder just because I don't trust myself to make the exact same move which that team's owner would make. I'm an experienced Commissioner and I'm confident that I can do the right thing, and I have my owners' trust.
