You can still add the guys, but since there is no draft, there's no reason to protect them. Saves you the $390k per player by not putting 'em on, and you won't really need the 40-man until the September call-ups.

Not a big deal, but does take away from the realism a little. No need to waive/designate guys when you want to reassign them within the system.
Yes & No. You are going to need at least one spot for every player on your ML roster opening day + one for every injury replacement + one for every player with a pro contract whom has not cleared waivers. Those 40 spots get used up rather quickly.
