pstrickert & M's rule - thank you both for the behind the scenes detail on how OOTP actually handles real life transactions and lineups. I was under the "mistaken" impression that by manually running a team with the AI running all the other teams, that all real life transactions & lineups would be accurate for the team I run.

I will try changing the 'Manager Options' at the end of each day to switch to the AI, and then switch back to Human before playing the game to see if this gets the real life transactions & lineups to match real life.

On other question - I noticed that OOTP 20 put Mark Ellis on the DL on 4/26, even though the MLB transactions log shows Ellis going on the DL on 5/6. What caught my eye on this one is that an ESPN article on 5/6 says, "Ellis is eligible to return Sunday. The Dodgers carried him on the 25-man roster though he hasn't played since April 26, hopeful he could make a faster-than-expected recovery."

Did OOTP 20's transaction log put Ellis on the DL on 4/27 to ensure that the AI would not insert Ellis into the lineup?
