Minor Mariners quibble(s):

SP Erasmo Ramirez is out of options. In the current roster he's assigned to AAA Tacoma, so I guess this means either his out-of-options-ness was mistakenly omitted or you guys are projecting that he's going to clear waivers (this is considered unlikely in real life as he's being shopped for a trade by the Mariners before they have to waive him). I can't think of a good option for fixing this though other than putting Erasmo on the 25-man roster for now and demoting someone else who does have options (probably Taijuan Walker) to AAA for now. That way a GM playing the 2015 Mariners right now would be faced with the same situation real life Jack Z is: keep Erasmo on the 25-man, trade him, or expose him to waivers and probably lose him. I guess another option would be to simply wait until the real life Mariners trade him or lose him to waivers and update the roster accordingly then. You might have already made that decision I guess.

Another couple things I thought of while writing this:
- Considering that the game launched before Opening Day with speculative rosters (please, please do this going forward. The fact that last year's game launched after Opening Day really negatively impacted my desire to play), does that mean we'll be getting an Opening Day rosters patch on Opening Day? If so, that'd be really awesome and appreciated.
- Weirdly, in a 2015 MLB (default settings) league, I placed Erasmo on irrevocable waivers on 4/4/2015 and by 4/6/2015 he was not on the MLB waiver wire anymore and was still on the Tacoma Rainiers, but I did not receive any notification of him clearing waivers. No message in the "GM's office" and nothing in the transaction log. Does a player clearing waivers not generate those logs/messages? Or is that possibly a bug?

And finally, Roenis Elias (also on AAA Tacoma in the current roster) is a RP in the game but he hasn't appeared out of the bullpen since he was in A-ball in 2011. He's been a starter effectively all of his career and should be a SP.

Sorry if these questions/complaints are based on misconceptions about how the game's roster system works. I'd love to learn.
