Minor League Signing Suggestions

WarningTrakPower · 02-22-2020, 11:49 AM

Would it be possible to add an option where, rather than the "Minor League Managers" signing / releasing players to include a "suggestion" from a MiLB mananger?

Something simple to the effect of "Hey, I noticed that 'Insert MiLB free agent' recently became a free agent. We could use a guy like him in our rotation/bullpen/lineup. What do you think about offering him a contract?"

That would allow you select the player to view his profile page from the Mailbox and see if they're worth signing.

Same thing could go for releasing players. "Hey, we have an influx of middle infielders/outfielders/bullpen options and 'Insert Minor League Player' doesn't really have a spot on our team. Would you like to release him or demote him?"

It could play its way in to promotion/demotion suggestions too I suppose. I lock the prospects to the level I want them at anyways. And I use the "Minor League System Report" to see who deserves to go up/down. But I don't look at it often enough.
Maybe a player has like 3 weeks where he is really struggling and the Manager sends you a message to say "Hey, we should look at sending *Blank* down to get his confidence back up."

Personally I micro manage the minor league teams maybe more than some, but when I allow the managers to decide signing/released seem to they load up the AAA team with AAAA guys.
This results in the players I want to play in AAA end up pushing everyone down to AA and AA to A+ etc. etc.

I really like this idea and would like to piggy-back on it a bit.

Maybe this could lead to expanded scouting departments where you can send out scouts to different regions, states, etc. to scout for minor league talent, amateur talent, independent league players, etc. and those scouted players will show up under personal shortlists for each scout and you can set notifications on when these players become free agents, are added to the trade block, etc. And under player searches or general player lists, you can see the initials of the scout that found him.

Also, if this were to be included, I'd like to see hidden ratings for unscouted players that turn into ranges that become narrower and narrower the more he's scouted.
