I created a historical league with historical minors. I am not happy with the inherited 40-man roster, and there is no way to control this before the AI creates the game.

The AI puts 18-20 year old prospects that have no prior pro experience on the 40-man roster, thus potentially wasting all three option years and blocking the roster spot for someone that really appeared on the major league team in that season. The only solution is to expose the prospects to waivers, and of course the AI teams claim all of them.

Does anyone know of a way to remove players from the secondary roster via the commissioner mode? I can't find a way to do it. The only solution I have so far is to allow the players to be claimed and then put them back on my team via the commissioner mode. I am hoping for something that does not leave a false transaction in the player history.

My opinion on a real solution is that the AI should fill the 40-man roster with players that appeared in the majors for the team in question first, and then complete it with players that have enough experience to be subject to Rule 5 draft. If they are out of options, so be it. Players with zero pro experience should not be on the 40-man roster even on AI teams.
