Oh, you can't reassign them in a patch? It has to be a redo of the whole database for v. 18?

That's disappointing, but I may as well continue. It will be a guide for those who want to fix v. 17 manually, and it's only a year until 18, so this will be needed, eventually. (Given that there are probably roster issues like this in every single season, there's not even a guarantee we'd get them all done in a year, but it can't hurt to try.)

Chicago Cubs issues

• Bobby Locke is with the Cardinals' Atlanta farm; he should be Cubs property. They got him in the Jerry Kindall trade over the winter, and don't swap him to St. Louis until April 7.

• While Paul Toth is correctly placed in the Cardinals chain, the pitcher the Cubs will trade to acquire Toth on September 1st, Harvey Branch, is also placed as a Cardinal property, and that's premature. Branch spends most of '62 where he spent most of '61, at the Cubs' AA team in San Antonio. He should probably start there.

• Curt Motton is on the 40-man roster. Given that he will be taken by the Orioles in the "first-year" draft after the season for not being on the 40-man, starting him there seems premature. The Cubs AI (or human Cubs player) might put him on the 40, but there's no sense giving them a leg up on history.

(Not that the "first year" draft exists in this game, but that's a different issue. I'm only discussing this from a roster p.o.v.)

Philadelphia Phillies issues

• Mel Roach is listed with the Phils' AAA team at Buffalo, while Tony Curry is with Cleveland. This is premature; the trade doesn't happen until March 20. (Ken Lehman, the other player sent to Cleveland, is correctly still with Buffalo.)

• Billy Klaus is with the Phillies; he should be with Washington. The Phils don't buy his contract until April 5.

• Sammy White is with Buffalo. Just a little premature; as of March 3, he's still a free agent. The Phils don't sign him until March 7.

• Cal McLish is with the Phils, while Lou Vassie is at the White Sox AAA farm, at Indianapolis. Again, premature, as this exchange (to remedy Andy Carey's refusal to report) doesn't take place until March 24.

• Billy Consolo is a Rule V pick (Braves) and should be coded as such.

• Cal Neeman is with the Pirates' AAA team at Columbus. He's still a Phillie in March; they don't sell him across the state until May 7.

And…onwards. Just further onwards than I thought.
