Ok...I'm not really new to this game but I'm 65 with a memory that leaks and I need some fairly quick help if I can get it.

I've been playing Strickert's great 1959 World Series quickstart and a few other setups from time to time. For the past few weeks I've stopped working with detailed study of the game and updated setups. Doesn't take long for me to get rusty.

Anyway...I would really like to play along with my White Sox against the Cubs this weekend.

I had been playing the projected 2010 season for a few months. So I thought I would sim the games up until June 11 and then go in and update the WSox/Cubs rosters and play along with the real life games.

The problem is that some of the updating isn't working out well. I took control of both teams but I can't get some of the players traded etc to fix the rosters. For example the Cubs need Howry and Gorsalanny and another fella and the WSox need Sergio Santos etc. I tried the trading route and it just didn't work. Then I tried cloning the players with the idea of going to the free agent list and just paying whatever was needed. I submit the money contract etc but nothing happens. Maybe it's something to do with the season being in June.

At any rate I've already spent about an hour and 1/2 on about 5 players and I can't get one of them on the updated roster. Does anyone know of any shortcuts to this or is this trouble par for the course or just the problem of an old brain that can't remember the stuff he picked up about updating a month ago or so.

Any help would be appreciated as long as it doesn't require much time from you. Otherwise I'll just play with the rosters I have and go from there.

Thanks for listening.
