Baseball General Manager is a simulation game, which puts the player in the role of General Manager for a baseball team. The game provides options to carry out a draft or build randomized rosters, and various settings are available, catering for those who want to simulate entire seasons quickly, as well as those who want to take their time and manage all aspects of their team. Although the game does not make use of any real MLB franchises, its rules are loosely based on the league and an edit function allows players to change their team and players' names.
