Until last night, I really hadn't given the crys for this much thought, until ...

At the end of the regular season, I was proceeding to the playoffs. I tried to send my Sept callups back to the minors, but was unable to. They had to clear waivers first. 2 days later, playoffs started, and I couldn't continue because I had more than 25 men on my roster. I was forced to release a couple outright (those that had been claimed), and send a couple regular roster plays who still had option years down to squeeze everyone in. I was forced to play the entire first round of the playoffs with 3 minor leaguers on my team, including one too many MRs, and my platooning start-against-left-handers 3B had to sit out the Wild Card Series.

Luckily, my opponent had no left-handed starters, and I only missed him in his PH/PR role ... the rest of the crew did a fine job, and we won the series 3-1.

We do indeed need a designated-for-assignment slot. Alternatively, once we click "y" to the waiver confirmation question, the player should be removed from the 25-man, then once he is "Cleared", put on the AAA roster automatically and an Email sent notifying us of this (Something like "Joe TripleA has cleared waivers and assigned to AAA Notgoodenuff.").
