Looks like he'd be a decent setup man or a closer if there weren't better options. Too bad he isn't a lefty. Might be a solid specialist. The problem I see with the pink slip idea is how to make them appear to the former team owner and not everyone else? Seems like isolating them to team specific viewers would be a tough trick to pull off.

(I cut him b/c he got injured 3 times during spring training - figured that was a sign he was injury prone. Turns out not-so-much. I like the idea of a 2nd symbol if its doable.

I cut him because he had gaimed about 8 total skill points in the previous two seasons. This year he has already gained 5 and has learned how to steal bases. I'm a lot bummed right now.

I imagine as Haselrig says the difficulty might be this will be a different series of flags for each team so would probably require an owner to be logged-in order to work. Would be a nice little feature if possible though!
