(edit: Maybe giving him full-time player cash would happen only if you left him up there for an entire training period or something like that.) Just a thought. Not sure how well this could work with coding and etc. I know similar is done in the MLB is part of why I ask. Updated Wednesday, October 12 2016 @ 7:53:00 pm PDT

If 300k a season for 1 additional season is something you fear is going to break you, then there are more internal problems with the team composition than game-oriented design problems.

Plus we are given a larger 5 slots on our rosters. So I don't really feel like we need additional advantages in this regard. If something like this was done, I would think it would be best to link it with the training update, since they aren't benefiting from being in the majors if they are brought down for the update. Also, I believe they won't lose rookie status if they aren't up for the updates. They just lose minor leaguer status.

I don't have problems with giving $300K to a guy...it would just be nice to not have to

I think in general we're never going to have the call-up/send-down roster moves that real-life clubs have. The game moves too fast for that and people aren't full-time GM's. Steve
