I never claim a guy that I plan to immediately waive myself. Also I don't claim players the date where 60-day DL guys have to be added back to the 40-man and the date that free agency starts. The AI will keep a guy they're not going to re-sign on the 40-man right up until free agency, instead of guys with options making the minimum.

I also keep track of how often I've outrighted (when he clears waivers and you send him to the minors, removing him from the 40-man) a guy. If it's the second time I've outrighted a guy and he's unhappy in Triple-A, I grant him his release.

There's also a glitch where players end up on the 40-man while still on a minor league contract. I make sure I add these players to my 40-man roster if I claim them on waivers, even though you can send them to the minors since they don't have a major league contract.
