Minor League Contracts

One thing that I would like to see, and I'm sure it's been mentioned in the past, has to do with minor league contracts. I would like to see the option to offer veterans who may not have signed during the FA period a minor league contract, with an invite so spring training. This would allow an owner/gm to run through a spring training with some players who have ML experience. After spring training, the owner/gm would have to decide to add the player(s) to the 40-man roster, see if the player would accept a minor league assigment, or release the player. Not sure if this could be implemented, but would just add another dimension to the game to mimic real life, as in recent years more and more veterans are getting the ITSP. Some veterans even make the team (this year for example Shane Spencer/Scott Erickson made the Mets, Ricky Botalico did not, and is now a FA)....
