A bug (?) and and annoyance....

JungleJim99 · 06-29-2008, 01:54 PM

Within one single playing session at the end of the 1922 season I ran into two oddities:

Annoyance - I am playing the New York Yankees from 1921 (the year Ruth had his monster season) and I won the 1922 World Series - but without Bob Meusel because he suffered a career-ending injury duringthe World Series!

This now gigantic hole in me outfield led me to the free agent market to rustle up a new right fielder. This led to the bug!

Bug (?) - Ross Youngs was in the free agent pool after the 1922 season after finishing his contract with the New York Giants. Since I needed to fill the need for a productive right fielder, I bid for his services and he signed a 3 year contract for $82,090 per year. The bug is that Ross Youngs is now on the Boston Red Sox rather than on the New York Yankees because he was drafted during the Rule 5 draft. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN and HOW DID I NOT GET WARNED BEFORE IT DID !!!!!

If this is not a bug, it is a HUGE annoyance and really needs a warning message so that it doesn't happen again!

Did you move him from the DFA onto the secondary roster?

Apparently not, but then again, I don't remember seeing him on the list. I also signed a catcher and a middle reliever and saw both of their names and moved them to the roster.

Part of being a GM/Manager is checking your roster before the rule 5 draft and knowing who you need to protect. It is not a bug or annoyance of the game.
