Strange Sim Behavior and Other Misc. Bugs

Bug #1:

During the Free Agent Signing Period, I typically make most or all offers on Day 1, then during Days 2-4 make counters or second-choice offers as appropriate. I am usually all done somewhere from day 7-10. At that point, I click Finish All Days, because why sit through day by day when I am done? Problem is, if I get emails with trade offers, the simulation DOES NOT STOP. So the free agent period ends, and I have a bunch of trade offers that I cannot take action on because they are already expired.

Bug #2:

Maybe not a bug, but it something that should be made clear. In the Rule 5 draft, if you select "Computer Finish Draft" it will have the human-controlled team pick someone IN EVERY ROUND. Imagine my surprise when I found a few stiffs on my roster that I had to release. Of course, none of the AI-controlled teams made a pick. I would like to see either the behavior of "Computer Finish Draft" changed or an additional button added so the draft can be finished automatically WITHOUT making picks for me.

Bug #3:

Every once in a while, I'll order a pitchout on an 0-0 count and suddenly end up with a 2-0 count. No rhyme or reason that I can detect. It always catches my eye because I generally won't order a pitchout if there's already a 1-0 count.

Bug #4:

Minor...but still annoying. Scenario: Scott Rolen is playing 3rd, Jose Cruz Jr is playing 1st. I'm batting, Luis Castillo at the plate with Scott Podsednik on first; no other baserunners. No outs. The throw..."Castillo lines sharply to third...caught by Rolen! Podsednik is too far off the base...Rolen steps on the bag and he's out!" (Words may not be exact but you get the idea...a line drive to third is caught and the runner on first is doubled up by the same fielder.)

2. Players will not be selected at all if the 40 man roster is full, just thought I'd mention it.
