The AI handling of salary cap space is pretty terrible.
In addition, players added to the active roster in the off-season (or Spring Training) don't get major league contracts. Thus, in leagues with salary caps (it also affects leagues without salary caps, though) teams have more open space than they should.
I realize the non-contract thing was put in so all players don't get major league contracts when called up for Spring Training, but the problem is players don't receive major league contracts even if they're on the active roster at the beginnning of the season, Spring Training or not.
Perhaps it should work in reverse and they should get the contracts when put on the active roster, and have it removed if they're not on the active roster opening day (as long as they have a minimum contract, anyway)?
