That's what I thought, too. I'm sure this was changed for 2007. Maybe it wasn't intentional, though.
So, if I get this straight, there are two things I need to report to be fixed:
1. At the end of spring training, when you trim your roster back, every player who will wind up in the minors should use up an option year. If the player is out of option years, then he must go through irrevocable waivers. (Basically, make it work like 2006 with the waivers loophole fixed.)
2. When a player becomes eligible for minor league free agency, he should be "protected" as long as he is on the team's 40-man roster.
Correct?
