I don't have the 2004 version yet. However for those upset about Rauch and Cotts not being on the minor league teams, check the inactive roster on the Sox team. Wouldn't shock me if they turned up on there.
In MVP 2003, when I started my franchise as the BoSox I had Pedro on the inactive list. Go figure.
After watching the tutorial videos on their site, I like how they altered the hitting style. Can't wait to get it.
