A few ideas I'd like to see

I'm still using OOTP5, so forgive me if some of these are already in V6...

1) Non-game related injuries: A number of injuries in baseball come to light after a game -- soreness, tightness, pulled muscles, etc. Maybe have one of your assistants or coaches inform you via email that "Pedro Martinez is experiencing tenderness in his throwing elbow after yesterday's start. I recommend that he miss his next start in order to rest..." Then the coach can choose whether or not to listen...

2) The ability to trade draft picks as well as cash and players. Something else to make the trading process more interesting and rich...

3) Rehab starts at the Minor League level. This may be tough to code but it would be a way to guage how a player looks as his injury time winds down.

Just a few ideas that occured to me today as I think about this great game...

1) they do have players catching the flu and getting hurt in bar fights, but your additions would be great as well. Back in High Heat the injury table was editable, so you could put what ever you wanted in there... which leads to some hilarous stuff, but could be used for accuracy also.

2) picks are not allowed to be traded in real life, but why not add it here for us virtual Owners/GMs/Managers.

3) great idea, obviously we should adhere to real life rules on this.
