There are degrees of neglect.

1) If a manager makes roster changes, trades(& offers), but lets the robot play home games, that would be at most minor neglect, and I'll take a whole league of these types over unmanaged teams.

2) The one who doesn't make roster changes, never trades, etc. has me prefering unmanaged teams.

3) What about the owner that makes roster changes, plays all his games, but never makes trades?

He isn't neglecting but I'd rather have the manager described in number 1 then number 3.
