How do I ensure my AI stops making MiL teams Shorthanded?!

My lower level team has 40 guys and only 4 are position players. My Dominican team has 50 players and 23 position players. - no roster limits


How do I get AI to even this to even out?

if this is after some promotions, but before the amatuer draft it's not too unusual for me to be a bit low at R and Short A.

are you doing the drafting? if that's the case, it's not the AI's fault.

no matter what after the draft if there aren't enough position players, make sure you have "Sign MiL FA" in the GM office -> ?control and settings? checked for your team. that way if the MiL only teams are short a man, it will sign a FA. otherwise, you have to sign to fill the gaps.

i never see the ai release my mil players... i have seen posts in the forums where people have a problem with this... but their is a common thread it seems when this happens - roster size limits in the minors... so, don't use those... use the service time limits if you want to control that aspect a bit to avoid 30-somethings in the lower tiers of your minor league system.

3 or ~4 years - rookies
4 or ~5 - S A
~6 or 7 - A
~8-9 - AA
none- AAA

you could go a bit less or more if you want.. i wouldn't go much higher than 5 or lower than 3 for the first tier... the Tilda is what i use - probably what you want to add or subtract from based on your intentions.

You can set minor league roster construction up in league options/stats and AI on the LH screen. Make sure you choose the league via the drop down on the RH screen.

When you get a big imbalance it is likely you have to many of say iffy SS that the AI won't use. Cull the minors change SS to CF if they merit it and sign a few 1B slugs and LF types to give the AI something to put where you need them.
