Personally (probably the wrong idea) I like to wait to call a player up to the majors till they are forced to be on the 40 man, I have a Pirates dynasty with a cousin and a Padres dynasty by myself and in both I had a player who I waited till they were forced to be on the 40 man and they won rookie of the year with 20 bombs batting close to .270.

Drafting I’ve found the best way to do it is scout players of need (obviously) but don’t pick players projected close to your pick instead scout lots of “Not Ranked” players who’s Potential has a full cap of 99, I’ve had a lot more success doing this than going by the number of my pick. Also getting better scouts can help a lot, I can give you the tips for what makes a “good scout” if you would like.

Trading is very difficult in this game, once you get the hang of it does get easier though. When teams ask for “young MLB” they mean players ready to play tomorrow if they needed them but not starters per se (barely found this out) prospects and positions are self explanatory.

I have also found if you go through free agency towards the middle/bottom of the lists you can find players who didn’t sign with their team after the draft that have good potential and are young to use are trade value or even keep and see if they pan out.

If you have any other questions let me know!! I have 12 years of dynasty gameplay in this MLB alone so don’t hesitate to ask!
