At first glance a little disappointing.... I am comfortable with my SS Waltman, 3B Terrell, and CF Eckenstahler, but the Tartans completely lack any offensive studs. We do have a SS in Double A Max Cabeza who in a year or two may be very valuable but otherwise upgrades need to be made.
Pitching is another story. While we only have 3 guys on the ML roster that I am comfortable with (Pritchett, Woodson, and Gonzalez) we do have some talent at AAA. The ML club really has zero starting pitching, so I must decide how much of the AAA staff I want to promote.
Those are my two initial takeaways, be back later with other details.....

Strategic Insight
(This area of the blog will be used to record key insights learned in the Branch Rickey World.)
In no specific order:
1.) Don't under estimate the value of a good coaching staff, they can turn a dud into a competitive squad, etc.
2.) Pitching settings are one of the most important controls in the game: particularly the Call Bullpen setting, which can dramatically improve any pitchers performance (use it to reward good ERAs/WHIPs and improve bad ones).
3.) Pick a strategy that is unique and one that you can live with. (If you are in for the long haul then consider going young early, or you want to earn a free season get big league talent, just make sure you won't have regrets when your minor league system sucks.)
