Jeremy brought up a good point; after I did away with the waiver trade deadline of 8/31 and allow it to be at the end of the regular season, a question was raised as to who can be on the playoff roster. The concern is that a well-rated player could be traded right before the playoffs and be eligible for the playoff team immediately. Is that what we want?

The season typically ends at the end of Sept, right?

I could make a case for either deadline you proposed. I think 9/15 "could" work for now, and maybe we revisit when there are more teams, and more playoff teams. But I'm certainly fine with 9/1 as well.

As long as playoff teams aren't bringing guys up to make 40-man rosters for September and then forget to bring down those same extra 15 players back to the minors for the postseason, I'm fine with whatever happens.

I don't care about that. If somebody has a prospect in the minors all season, and wants to call him up for the playoffs, I don't think much can be done. I'm really only worried about traded (thru waivers, since the regular deadline is earlier) players.

That's the only thing I worry about...how am I going to check for that? I was just saying I've seen delays in seasons happen because people call up extra players in September and forget to put them down again right before the start of the postseason. But yeah I guess you gotta go through the site and check all postseason rosters to make sure they're all at 25 and hopefully as few such delays as possible will ever happen. |

If you're over 25 men come playoff time, shouldn't you just have your staff/lineups auto'd in as gentle as way as possible? |

That said, I'm pretty agnostic about the roster cut-off question the poll raises. But I like Jeremy's point about distinguishing traded players from call-ups, if that's workable.

Chris would still have to manually move players down to the minors in Transactions. It's just a huge hassle. It's hard to prevent if it's just a team forgetting to cut back down to 25, since you won't realize it until you try to sim the playoffs. |

OK, so it's clear that we must have some sort of rule. I will begin enforcing this immediately as it relates to player in waiver trades. Players who are in a waiver wire trade AFTER 9/15 cannot be on the playoff roster.
This will be much easier to track---I can announce "players involved in trade are not eligible for playoff roster" when I process the trade. I will not bother to restrict minor league players from playoff roster---too much of a hassle to enforce.

I was thinking of the button on the Team Setup page that basically runs the computer manager for the entire organization. Might be too drastic. |

I was thinking of the button on the Team Setup page that basically runs the computer manager for the entire organization. Might be too drastic. I am very tempted to do that, but at playoff time, it's a no-go. For the sanctity of the league, I must allow a team to set their playoff lineup. I would rather manually set the lineup. Maybe a 5 point penalty? It's similar to the Opening Day 5 point export. You don't export, I manually set the lineup and you are effectively are penalized 5 points ... |
