That's like telling people not to offer unrealistic Team Option contracts.

Since there are no good answers the commish moving everyone back really sucks...especially since there are multiple teams.

If you want a player back who was on a minor league contract on your BLB roster put it in the Commish thread? Is that fair?

I think that is the most reasonable way to do it. If you really want someone back that bad, you can take 10 mins find what team they're on and post in that thread.

This is a very deep discussion about AAAA or at best "role players" we are having.

We can't keep all our players or hoard them, but I'm for whats best.

I still don't like how signing 10000 players and leaving them in the DFA que for 20 days is any more legal. Might as well add that rookie A ball level.

Bam.

The best solution is for people to stop claiming players they have no intention of putting on their active roster unless the player has option years remaining and can be legitimately sent to the minors.

I've lost several. To Pat...

[Matt]

Pat claiming 14 guys then cutting half of them...awesome.

He now has my 29 year old SP who I had in reserve in AAA as starting for him in AA.

Do away with the Rule V, while we're at it.

Few things here:

I'm competitive and these guys are free to acquire. I didn't have a scout until the start of this past sim. So I had a DFA full of players for my scout to analyze. The ones that were cut he wasn't a fan of. You also don't know if your claim is ever going to go through. I figured a lot of these guys would be claimed by lesser teams. They damn well should have been. I lose a shit ton of guys to the same process. Carlos is trying to run Bats West out in Denver.

I have a long history of acquiring these guys and actually using them quite often. My backup catcher is a 4-A guy right now and so his my backup OF. Depth is the name of the game. I think the downfall of a lot of BLB teams is not fielding enough reserve type players. Injuries happen. And when you have to call up a complete scrub for three weeks because you had an injury, that costs you. 4-A types give you the ability to play a serviceable player. And if they are out of options, when your player returns from injury, you often lose the 4-A guy to waivers. Rinse. Repeat.

And again, it was my mistake. The players are all listed in the commish to do thread. I have no issues with sending them back.

I don't think it was your mistake. The game didn't assign major league contracts. You didn't know that was going to happen, or was happening.

I didn't know either. I wonder how many guys I acquired last year and pushed to AAA as depth that shouldn't have been easily stashed there.

Though for me I did end up using most of those guys in the BLB. Same with this year as you can see by my infield.

It's not your mistake...anyone can do it. I did it as well with one player as well.

If it's devious I just expect you to do it. You were who I learned Team Options from after all. Every league needs an Evil Empire.

[Sully]

Clay would blame Pat. I don't.

[Matt]

Pat does everything within the rules though. I'm good with that.

[umd]

I do it too. Some players get that 40 man and some don't which can be confusing. I like the depth AAAA players provide for injuries. It makes sense.
