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..."
