This may be a lapse of memory, but I think in OOTP2006 players that were on the 40-man but not on the 25-man roster at the start of the season (i.e., after spring training) always lost an option year -- regardless of how often they were actually sent down during spring. If they had no option years left, they weren't forced onto waivers though. Am I remembering this correctly?

What about the following solution:

At the end of spring training, when the regular season starts, don't allow such players in the minors. If there is a player with 0 option years left that is not on your 25-man roster, the roster setup is illegal and the game would not proceed. You'd have to either put him on waivers or on the 25-man roster. Once the roster is legal, all players on the 40-man but not on the 25-man will lose their option year.

Or alternatively: At the beginning of spring training, all players on the 40-man roster automatically go into the active roster. Whenever someone is sent down, he uses an option year, even in spring training.
