I'm also playing this game, learning it as I go having never played a baseball game before. It's fun! And it's fun because all sorts of odd things happen. I played against the AI earlier today in Season mode (low ego though, don't judge me, this is my learning-to-play run) and slammed a homer down the line with my pitcher. Nice! Next at bat for my pitcher, I manage to time the swing perfectly and muscle the ball into deep straightaway centre field, where the centre fielder leaps ten feet into the air up the wall and pulls it back. I was so stunned I forgot to tag up from third. A few innings later, another hard line drive is heading to the exact same spot and the exact same centre fielder performs the exact same gravity-defying feat, and helpfully punches the ball over the fence for a homer, complete with Metal Gear alert sound. I'm enjoying the learning curve, especially having learned to power hit for homers, and will be upping the ego again soon. The devs have done a very nice job of putting the game together and giving the player both simple tools for hitting and pitching along with the risk-reward of the power button. Anyway, that's my story thanks for listening. As regards your franchise, I'd advise fixing the parts of the team most in need of repair and plan for the future. Over a short season, five games is a lot to make up. Therefore, I suggest: Catcher: Long-term, Appleseed would be the choice for me over Raines, backed up by Quorn. Appleseed has a few years in reserve over Raines and a better arm and lower salary than Koch. Shortstop/2B: Obviously, you'd want to bring in Khan but I think you need to keep Jackman's bat in the squad, so the mooted move of Santana for Runs might be better for team balance and finance for now and come back to the problem later. 3B: I'd want the best of the bunch to come in at 3rd because Badhop is terrible. Polebean looks like a very good everyday 3B, and is still at a good age. RP: bringing in Doyle for Frequin and 9 mill in cap space is logical and makes other moves possible. OF: Evergreen by name, but I think a younger body is needed in that position. As you note, it might be wise to wait for the salary demands to drop and then I'd favour Dillion over Pacheco.

I've also noticed that catchers have started dropping excessive numbers of pitches and a patch did drop recently. As for the player moves, I think option 4 is the one to take. Is Polebean's extra athleticism worth the extra $1.5 million? Maybe, but it can't hurt.
