Thank you! Yes, I am getting to know these things a lot more. Here and there I get surprised by the option years (and I can't send him down) but for the most part I have an eye on the option years and I try to leave one or two spots open on the 40-man roster to be flexible. (I don't know if that is the right approach but in my mind it is.)

And I have a really good system for having zero injuries for my starters in the pre-season: I bench all of them for the duration of the pre-season, call up my complete AAA team and filling the rest of the spots with some AA players.
The starters aren't even starting the season bad for not playing in the spring.
So all the mandatory injuries in the pre season go to my minor league players. Oops.

The AI "purchasing contracts" at the end or beginning of the new season from my minor league teams and putting them on my 40-man roster still surprises me but bit by bit I'm getting the hang of it.

I'll probably start another Detroit save in a few weeks and try to rescue this team.
