I will attempt to be nice and polite. Sometimes it's hard so I am really trying.

My league is currently in 1968. In 1960 I drafted Lou Brock. He didn't sign. Since then he is always in my "negotiate with draftees" list, but "negotiate" is always greyed out.

So, from 1960 until 1968 Lou Brock is part of my list of draftees who I can't sign. I thought if I blew the signing, they went back in the draft. Guess what? He didn't.

I posted this problem in this forum and in bug reports. Not a peep from anyone on the OOTP team.

I decided to do further research. Three other players (big names) I found who were drafted in 1960 or 1961 were Boog Powell, Joe Morgan, and Rusty Staub. They weren't drafted by me, but by an AI team. They've never been assigned to a team which leads me to believe they were never thrown back in the draft because these are top 10 draft choices any year.

In additional weirdness, Nolan Ryan has fallen off the face of the OOTP earth. I drafted him 1 year and he didn't sign. He can't be found in any draft logs (or after looking 5 times I'm still blind).

This is possible to go unnoticed because if Joe Morgan isn't drafted by your team, are you going to look for him if he's never played? I doubt it. I cannot believe I'm the only person this has happened to, but then again I'm lucky that way.

I do hope that someone from OOTP can give me an answer to this weirdness or investigate it. I am also posting this in bug reports. If this a real bug and not just a "Martin" bug, then this is a big one.
