The way you frame it, I would have to agree. You've made the decision not to delegate anything to him, and you're disregarding his advice. He's pulling a paycheck for nothing.

I tend to let my Assistant handle the more mundane tasks, minor league stuff, understanding I'll have final say.

I am always curious what my Assistant will say about trades, but yeah, I frequently disregard his advice. The AI can miss the obvious on prospects, and has a tendency toward "penny wise, pound foolish" on financials. Also, there appears to be no way to convey (e.g. through adjusting finances) to the Assistant that I am not Charlie Comiskey and we are not the 1919 White Sox.

Although the advice is not often useful, I would nevertheless like it to be extended to potential free agent signings. They can be a lot more of a commitment than a trade, and it would be great to have the Assistant weigh in on those deals.
