Suggestion

-Please, please find a way to make Spring Training rosters work properly.

Reason

- Currently they do not. Currently, a player must appear on the 40 (or whatever your number is) man roster to be available to play in Spring Training games. This causes problems with service time, options, mlb contracts and other issues. I also suspect that it causes problems with the financial model, but I'm just guessing. In reality Spring Training rosters are open ended and have no service time cause/effects. Having to manipulate the 40 man roster for Spring Training purposes is in many ways counter productive to the purpose of Spring Training. As it is now it's a mess. If there were just a way to turn the Active Roster into the Spring Training roster, have it limitless in size and have no service time effects of any kind, from my perspective, the problem would be solved. I know it's deeper than this, but from a simplistic point of view, this would solve a majority of the problems caused by the current set up.

Priority

For me, one who plays solo, and micromanages one team, it's very important. I think it's the biggest misconnect from reality that the game currently deals with.
