LOL Good question, I get what you're saying. But some people like to take their franchises into numerous seasons and want to see records broke, and milestones, etc.. If A-rod has 200 HR's then he won't break the record till he's 50. For others (Im in this boat) I just want it to be right to the tune of his real stats. If I hit carrer 600 for A-rod I don't want them to say that "A-rod just hit carrer HR number 285, congrats A-rod your on your way to stardome" or somethig like that. LOL

I totally agree with the bold and appreciate your response.

I gotcha. Thanks for your take on this.

I typically will play with roster control off, but now I hear that you can't put a player on the 60 man DL, and that he will remain on the 40 man roster. Are there any problems with the 15 man DL? I haven't started my franchise yet.

you can put a player on the 60 day DL, you just can't sign a free agent to replace him.

I'm sorry if this has been answered somewhere before. I searched everywhere. Has anyone ever discussed the fact that there are never enough players to complete the Rule IV draft in June? Its a small thing but irritates me a bit.

not sure if its been brought up or not. Yeah, I was disappointed by that. Kinda took the wind out of the sails when I did the draft this past year.

I know it was a problem last year too. I wonder if they didn't take into account the supplemental rounds of the draft and didn't put in enough players for each draft.
