I'm sorry if it appeared that I was jumping down your throat. I'm not being hostile, just maybe a little too direct.
As I see it, you want to play by reserve-clause rules but you don't want to play by OOTP's reserve-clause rules. That's going to be a problem, because you're playing OOTP's game. That being said, I agree with you that the rules need improvement, I'm just not sure if the improvements I'd make are the same improvements you'd make. And finally, I get the sense that you want OOTP's reserve-clause rules to emulate your version of what baseball under the reserve clause was like, but I'm not convinced that your version is more accurate than OOTP's.

Probably because the AI is still primarily based on a free-agency model. That's something else that, ideally, OOTP would change.

Waivers still apply. They're not really affected by the reserve clause.

I've seen it plenty of times. In fact, one of the problems with the AI, in my experience, is that it places too many players on waivers.
