What does the lock mean?

In a semi-fictional league I'm playing, one of my minor leaguers has a lock by his name. What does that mean?

It means that the AI will not promote or demote the player from that team. I use it mostly with catchers when I have two good prospects and both need playing time to develop.

Ah okay thanks. I had never seen it before and he's the only player with it beside his name so it made me curious.

It's an excellent tool to use for player development.

Did you "lock" the player yourself? or did the AI do it? I didn't even know that was an option.

I don't know. I may have done it by accident. I've never used that function before.

I use the lock all the time in my EBL league. Since many of my main minor league players are custom guys i want them at AAA vs going down to AA even if they suck that year.
