Rule 5 draft

Dyzalot · 09-12-2014, 11:54 AM

Where in the editor can I remove the requirement for a player to remain on the MLB roster after getting drafted in the rule 5 draft? Had a player with a long name so didn't realize he was eligible so he got drafted. I was able to put him back on the correct team but now I just want to remove the roster restriction. So annoying to have a guy drafted you didn't know was eligible.

Agreed, the easiest way I have avoided this is to go to the Rule V pool on Rule V day and double check my eligible players there.

I do not know if there is a line in the player editor to remove the restriction. You can manually move him through the player editor.

You can't remove the requirement. It's built in code as it's how the rule is supposed to work.

Solution - Clone the player, give the clone a middle initial or something so you can identify the two. Delete the original and move the clone onto the team. Once the original is deleted, you can change his name back. Problem is, clone has no history. So you lose that.

There are lots of things that are supposed to work certain ways that can be edited. Ok, what happens if I release him now? Will he show back up on my DFA list as if the team that drafted him released him?

He can't be very good or you would have had him on the 40-man roster.

Why not just load your most recent back-up from before the transaction?

You can't edit it, sorry, don't know what else to tell you.

Is there a point to putting people on the 40 man roster that aren't rule 5 draft eligible and aren't ready for the majors yet?

Well you could answer the other part of my post. Just sayin'...

Yes teams have players on the 40-man roster who are not ready all the time.

You say you got him back on the original (if that's what you mean by correct) team. If so he doesn't have to be on the 25-man roster. Send him to AAA. If you want him off the 40-man roster put him on waivers.

If the team that drafted him releases him he will show up on the original teams DFA.

Edit; see below. Note he is not on the 40-man but is out of options. That suggests to me that OOTP may be doing this wrong.

I edited him to be back on the original team instead of force trading him so the roster restrictions are still there. I know that if the team that drafted him were to release him then he'd show up in the DFA list for the original team with the roster restrictions removed. Will that be the case here if I release him?

I asked if there was a point. not if some teams do.
