Cobalt, forgive me, I'm not as "up" as you are on the weird ways of waivers.
Are you saying that the correct rule for this is as follows?
When you successfully claim a player that is out of options, he must be placed on the 40-man roster immediately.
When you successfully claim a player that has options, he can be designated for assignment.
Is that what you're saying? If I'm going to get Markus to change this, I just want to make sure it's done right.

Also, can you point me to any documentation of this?
