September Is The Time To Experiment

One of my favorite months of the season is, ironically, September. For one, there is a bit more intrigue around the game as rosters expand. Strategy becomes a bit more complicated, which I enjoy for some reason. Although the rule changes in 2020 altered the strategy of September promotions, some of it warranted, it remains fun to see how the new faces are utilized. After all, the next thirty games or so offer glimpses into the future with a couple of top prospects making their debuts and a few feel-good stories about career minor leaguers finally reaching the big stage, which is part of the draw of the month for me.
