I think for the player rest thing, I'm going to add in a feature so that you can rest players after Sept 15th only. This will allow playoff teams to get some guys a rest, but not have the window open too wide to allow non-playoff teams to take advantage.

It should be more or less ready to go now. I added some other things in, like showing you how many claims a particular player has.I think for the player rest thing, I'm going to add in a feature so that you can rest players after Sept 15th only.

when you say you will allow the players to rest, do you mean sending them down to the minors, if so i wish you would reconsider, maybe implent some pinh hitting logic where the players could sit on teh bench and you can go through the logic and say never allow player X to pinch hit, etc. It is just extremly unrealistic, i have never seen the yankees send down jeter, giambi, mussina to the minors to rest for the playoffs, and the pitchers never stop pitching, they might alter the rotation a bit for the final weeks, but they never have them stop pitching in games.

Rest means you could specify that a player can stay in the majors and not play in games - it would be an improvement over the current pseudo-system that teams employ by sending guys to the minors. Kind of like the Yankees do the last week of the season so Jeter is rested for the playoffs and doesn't get injured.

You would have a screen of some kind to specify that a player should rest. Then lets say you have 4 guys resting, you could bring up 4 minor leaguers to take their spots (maxiumum of 40 players on the Major league team).
This could only be done in September. So we would kill 2 birds with one stone and it would mimic September callups.

Actually, now that I have gotten into this, I am thinking about doing the following instead.You would have a screen of some kind to specify that a player should rest.

your 2nd idea sounds great, and the 1st idea is good too. Can't wait to see this implemented!

Question: How does this apply to Pitchers, since their no backup pool except in the minors.Jack1

I think one of the following should happen:
- The auto-claim to the minors shouldn't show up in the count of claims, or
- If the auto-claim to the minors shows up in the count, it should be listed as a pending claim, and if a subsequent reclaim to the majors is added, it should replace the auto-claim to the minors in the count and on the list.
Also, it seems to me that if you have a claim on the pending claim list, there shoud possibly be an option to cancel the claim.

A note on the "number of claims" option: A freshly-designated guy shows 1 claim; this is presumably the auto-claim to the minors, but nothing shows up under Pending Claims, which seems slightly unintuitive. Then, when I try to reclaim him to the majors, he shows as having two claims pending, and the claim to the majors shows up on the claims list.I think one of the following should happen:
- The auto-claim to the minors shouldn't show up in the count of claims, or
- If the auto-claim to the minors shows up in the count, it should be listed as a pending claim, and if a subsequent reclaim to the majors is added, it should replace the auto-claim to the minors in the count and on the list.

Chris - it should show 0 claims so it is a bug. I will look into it. I agree you should be able to cancel claims, I will add that feature it.

Jack - that's a good point, I think that is why in that previous post I thought about allowing you to call up replacements for the pitchers (I had forgotten why I suggested that). Let me try to get that going.Chris - it should show 0 claims so it is a bug. I will look into it. I agree you should be able to cancel claims, I will add that feature it.

I did it again. I tried to send down a player to the Minors (Blackie Hohman), and I lost him to the Waiver wire instead. The color coding is not good enough. We really should have a warning.Regards, Mike

Fortunately you can re-claim him without penalty if you wish to now...

Was thinking the color coding should be more pronounced on the promote/demote screen - is that the one you were using? Or was it on the depth chart? I try to avoid adding in extra JavaScript on pages where I can since it can be so finicky.Fortunately you can re-claim him without penalty if you wish to now...

I'm not seeing what's happening, but I strongly agree with Mike that color coding is not enough, and if at all possible there should be an explicit intermediate message/page with a confirmation request of any move that puts one of your players "on assignment" to the waiver wire. Not least among the reasons is that some people are color-blind. And some people just make mistakes. Also, don't you lose your 1 re-claim for your player for that season if you reclaim a guy after such an accidental assignment?

I'd like to see a column added to the promote/demote screen for "Option Years". I think it is important to be able to have this on some screen so the owner can see all of his player option years at a glance. As it stands you have to open each player card to see this information.
Example:
Action Player ............ Options Pos Bats / Throws Tot Age Arm Range Speed Cont Vs R Power Vs R...
Majors Jon Loiselle... 5...........P R / R B- 23 C- B C D- D- D- D- C- B- B

I think I'm out of room on this page, hence the use of colors to denote this. I'll get some javascript warnings on the page for you guys.

Yes, it was from the Depth Chart page that I made my changes.
Another bug related to this problem. If you go to News - Waiver Wire you can see that Blackie Hohman was acquired by Pittsburgh on 6/13/55, but nowhere does it say that the Brooklyn Redbetas had waived him. Apparently, the way that he got released (put out on options when I tried to send him down) does not trigger the NEWS to be reported.

I added the code to put that in the news after the fact. It should work now - at least last time I tested. When was this guy waived, do you remember?

Tyson, the transaction is reported on the card of Nate Kores (who I brought up at the time). It was done on 6-11-55.Regards, Mike
