I've played a little bit with the frequency at which guys are subbed in in my depth chart, trying to get Reyes some more at bats while he's young. Also needed to call up Nelson Cruz due to an injury in the outfield. He was tearing it up at AA.
Finally, I'm enjoying putting my scout on various scouting assignnments and finding that some of my minor league players have advanced more than expected (15-20 point overall jumps in at least 1 case). Never really considered that in our other league but may need to look into it.
Scouting assignments? What are those?
I'm probably using the wrong name. When you're looking at a player, their ratings are based on when the scout last scouted them. You can request a new scouting report on that player in the "Action" tab at the bottom (what you'd use to promot/demote/disable list, etc). Then, in the next sim or two (I can't really tell what controls that, maybe there is a time period it takes for them to scout a player, because I know you can't ask for three or four and get them all back next sim) you'll see that the scouted date for the player has updated and you'll get new ratings.
If you don't ask for scouting reports on your own, I think you just get them at 2 or 3 intervals throughout the year, but I know I've had players that were only scouted once a year.
