I am waiting for Knights Rosters to drop and started to wonder about the Minors. Does anyone really play their AA & AAA games?

This is only my 2nd season playing with these rosters and I haven't played the minor league games in the past, but if there is a certain benefit to playing them I may try.

If you do, what is your strategy? I mean, that is a ton of games!

I only play Triple-A Pawtucket for the minor league games. Being from RI its easy to follow the Pawsox. I work 2 part time jobs so even if I wanted to play the Double-A Portland games it'd be really tough. I just focus on the Red Sox and my hometown Pawsox.

Plus I put my created self on the Pawsox. It's closer to home.

I play a two player Franchise with my brother, so when he is unavailable to play his games I will play my Syracuse and Harrisburg games. I don't do it for any other reasons though.

hmm, wow that takes a lot of dedication. To play 2 seasons basically in one.

I usually only ever play minor league games if I've got a young starting pitching prospect coming up, and I'm thinking about calling him up. I like to go pitch a game or two with him to see how he "feels" to me.

Occasionally, once I get a little further into franchise mode, I hit a point where my minors are stocked with my hand-picked draft picks. Sometimes, when I think I've got a really strong bunch of them assembled, I might go play a couple games just to check out the up-and-comers who I'm hoping will one day make up the core of my future team.

Depending on how much I like the kids on my minor league teams, I might also take control of them when it comes playoff time (if they made the playoffs). There's something fun about trying to win a championship with a team that, 5 years down the line, might be the same bunch of guys you're trying to win a World Series with.

I just play some "key" games...maybe pick a AAA/AA stud SP and play his starts.

I've played them when I'm about to call someone up to the big leagues. I've had issues in the past where I call a prospect up without experience playing with them and have gotten shelled

I've tried to several times, but every time I fire up a minor league game, my PS3 freezes.
