Actually, Weena, this isn't right - if you waive a player and nobody claims him, he's still yours and you can send him to the minors. The only way you automatically lose a player is by releasing him, in which case you still have to pay his salary. The differrence between designating for assignment and waiving is that designating frees up the roster spot while the player is on waivers.

I would put more money in Advanced scouting (13 or 14 millions), more on medivcal and training(12 millions each). I had $12 millions on coaching . Next time i'll put $14 millions

Depending on where you will draft, you may have to increase or decrease your prospect budget. In the new world i entered, i will draft 28 Th , so i will budget only $6 millions for prospects. If i had the 1st choice , i would budget more

Must be the right way to do as mike is involved in at least half of the trades in the world

I say this because you lose draft picks for signing the big time FA's. That money might be better spent on payroll or International scouting. Just a thought.


I would have to agree with you. But there is not that many top fre agents to choose from. The really good ones will get signed back by their teams. Prepare to have deep pockets for the remaining top free agents as one of them went for $20 millions a year in Ruth's world

This is how the help manual distinguishes between them. You can designate someone for assignment without waiving him, although it would probably only be helpful if you knew you were going to trade him.

Designate - Remove a player from the big league team and 40-man roster while keeping him in the organization for at least 10 days (Hardball cycles). Only a player out of options would be designated for assignment. During this time, the franchise can trade the player, release him, or pass him thru waivers so that he may be demoted.

Waive - Attempt to have the player clear waivers for future decisions (demotion or trade). In order to demote a player out of options, he must clear waivers. In order to trade a player after the trade deadline, he must clear waivers. Prior to the trade deadline, a player that is claimed cannot be pulled back. After the trade deadline, he may be pulled back.

Thanks for all the help everyone...
Another stupid question:
do the PROJECTED ratings project what the player will be like after one season, or at his peak?

Player's presumably peak at 27

Damn...my farm system isn't nearly as good as I originally thought.

i know it's been touched on before, but can someone please explain when and why you would add someone or take someone off your 40-man roster. or when to promote to or demote from the major league level

someone, earlier, said something about a "clock" starting to run as soon as someone is put on the 40-man roster. what, exactly, does that mean?

after a player has 3 seasons of MLB experience, he's arbitration-eligible (and will be more expensive!). delaying that time helps with long-term budgeting.
