PITCHING DIALOG

The Pitching Dialog displays the starting rotation, bullpen, and minor league pitchers for any one team. To choose which team is displayed, click on the 'Team' dropdown listbox in the upper left, and select a team. To select which stats are displayed for each player, click the 'Season' listbox and select 'This Season', 'Last Season', 'Career', or 'Minors'. The 'Career' setting will show cumulative career pitching totals for each player.

The Pitching Dialog also lets you the pitching rotation and bullpen arrangement of any human-controlled team. The first five positions on the screen are your starting rotation. The second six positions are your bullpen. Each position is defined below.

The statistics shown for each pitcher are:

Using the Up and Down keys, you can move pitchers around in your lineup. To get more detailed statistics, you can highlight a player and hit the Scouting button, or double-click the player. This will bring up the Scouting Report.

The Auto-Sort button uses the computer AI to set your rotation and bullpen for you.

The Swap button allows you to move pitchers between your starting rotation and your bullpen.

If you no longer need a pitcher, you can Release him into the free agent pool. Be warned, though; you'll have to have enough cash on hand to buy out his contract. This will cost exactly 50% of the remaining amount on the player's contract.

In the bottom half of the screen, the six bullpen positions are defined as follows. If you're not clear on the purpose of each of these positions, click on the position and you'll get a definition.

Managing Minor League Rosters

Baseball Mogul tracks four different minor league rosters for each team, ranging from 'AAA' (just below the major league level) to the 'Rookie' or 'R' league (a shorter season appropriate for recently drafted players).

A player's development depends somewhat on which minor league level he is placed at. In general, players should be promoted as follows:

Overall Rating Minor League Level
70 or higher AAA
63 - 69 AA
57 - 62 A
Below 57 R

To change a player's Minor League assignment, select the player and choose a new organization level from the dropdown listbox labeled "Move To..."
