What's the big deal? Is there really no easier way of getting guys off the Active roster? There's no way I'm putting one of my star SPs on waivers and DFA just so my reserve SP can step up for one game. It means that I take up most of the 25-man roster with pitchers. Help!

Well, that'll do for now. Fantastic game so far, and thanks for any help!

Regarding item 2, I don't understand why you'd need so many pitchers? You should have your 5 man rotation and 5 to 7 relief pitchers. Typically one of your RPs should have enough endurance to be able to "spot start", for which there is a slot in the pitcher manager screen to put a guy for just that role.

Otherwise, you should have SOMEbody with option years left that you can send down for the one game while you bring someone up from the minors to fill in; you can also do this for position players if they aren't hurt enough to justify the DL but are day to day.

Hope this helps.
