Zeyes: You got that right. I think everyone got hung up on this whole "When you add a player to the 40 man should he be given a Major League minimum ($300,000) contract?" question, which relative to this is trivial. I mean, who cares if you have to shell out an extra $300K? The roster space is much more valuable. The ability to claim another team's castoffs, put them through waivers, and then let them get playing time in your minors *without* using 40 man space is much more valuable.
Can we please get some acknowledgement that this problem is being fixed? A TT# would be good. A sticky from SI clarifying their acknowledgement of how things are vs. how things will be after the next patch would be even better. I've seen a half dozen threads on this question already.
