...and I want to know the down side to doing it this way; as I don't know the ins and outs of transactions.

I noticed that if I designate a minor leaguer for assignment I then have the option of putting him on the disabled list. Now, if i use the 60-day, then he doesn't go against my 40-man roster. If I use the 15-day, he does. So, here are my questions.

1. There seems to be no harm then (harm being he uses up an option year or something) if I get a AA guy who goes down with a SEI. I just designate him for assignment and then put him on the 60-day DL and when he is ready to come back, I just put him right back on the AA team's roster. Is that correct?

2. Is there an option somewhere where I can change the fact that the 15-day DL keeps/puts guys on the 40-man roster automatically, or is that hard coded?

3. This seems to be a pretty good workaround. Has no one ever thought about this, or is it too good to be true?
