Being new myself I'll share with you what I found to be useful:
This is assuming you're already trying the demo.
Trading tips?
I changed the setting for trades from average to hard...found it too easy to trade for prospects or all-stars otherwise.
Roster management?
Agree with what others have said, let the AI take care of your Minor League System and just keep an eye on it.
Resting of stars? Playing of reserves?
I just set backups to the option: "if starter is tired" on the lineup screen
Call ups?
No solid advice other then so far I've let the AI call up prospects (i.e. AI is in charge of Promotion/Demotion) or if I have a need for a position I will ask a scout to look at a potential candidate and use the 5.0 scout scale to judge how they will fair in the Majors with their current skillset.
Money management?
When trading always try to add a little money from the other team...more often then not you have a trade set up that they will accept, re-start the trade and add some money. More often then not you can get some extra $$ and keep the same trade in contact.
General guidance?
I suggest changing the scouting/profile stats/etc. to a scale of 1-100 where applicable. Just easier for me personally to gauge skills.
Personally like the OOTP Dark skin in version 13.
Customize/Mod it...makes it more immersive to see actual MLB team logos and player pics (I use ESPN High Res pack from these forums and Justafans MLB Hat logos)
Play the demo, be patient, check the forums and play with options until you find the way you like to play it. I'm loving it so far and can see this being a life ruiner. (in a good way)
