I take complete control of the major leagues and minor league, except I let the CPU control minor league lineups, depth charts, and pitching. I have one minor league at the moment, but will add another soon. Also I sim a week at a time and then look at stats, rosters, injuries, transactions, etc...Make any needed changes, then sim another week. I cant get fired though

Before I started the league, I set the Highlanders to average market size, average fan loyalty, and 50 fan interest. I also lowered my initial budget to aound 13th in the league. I have free agency set to 12 years, with arbitration after the 1st year (as discussed in this thread http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...d.php?t=152453)

A house rule I have is that I can only trade if the CPU makes me an offer, or if offered via the shop offer page. I have trades set to hard/favor prospects. For drafts, I cant draft a batter until the CPU drafts one or the 3rd riund, which ever comes first, and I have to take a MR somewhere around the 3rd or 4th round. Im using Garlons new database, which helps the CPU alot in drafts because it cuts down on the number of starting pitchers. I also hold myself back whenever I think Im getting the best of the CPU by a longshot, like when I was offered Ty Cobb for one of these knuckleheads. In extreme cases like that I will hold back, but I will try to get the better of the CPU most times if offered by one of my two accepted ways

Here is the 1905 championship team lineup and pitchers and how I aquired them:

MR/Spot SP - A. Puttmann (original)
MR - B. Wolfe (original)
MR - J. Halla (4th round pick 1904)
CL - B. Durham (1st round pick 1903)

C - M. Grady (traded for H. McFarland after the 1903 season)
1B - T. Jordan (original)
2B - C. Ritchy (traded for M. McIntyre after 1904 season, whom I got for J. O'Conner during the 1904 season)
SS - W. Conroy (original)
3B - E. Courtney (original)
LF - G. Stone (traded for J. Ganzel before 1903 season started)
CF - R. Thomas (traded for C. Griffith after 1903 season)
