Sign and Release - Not a Bug After All!

hefalumps · 08-26-2015, 01:50 PM

I know OOTP through the years has occasionally had trouble either promoting/demoting or signing/releasing the same player over and over on certain teams. Looks like the 2015 Yankees are having the same issue.

Recent news on Chris Capuano - New York Yankees - Rotoworld.com

Specifically:

7/29 - Designated Chris Capuano for assignment and removed him from the 40-man roster
8/12 - Purchased the contract of Chris Capuano from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
8/15 - Designated Chris Capuano for assignment and removed him from the 40-man roster
8/18 - Purchased the contract of Chris Capuano from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
8/22 - Designated Chris Capuano for assignment and removed him from the 40-man roster
8/24 - Signed Chris Capuano to a minor league contract; recalled Chris Capuano from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
8/26 - Designated Chris Capuano for assignment and removed him from the 40-man roster

Chris Capuano is a real life Curtis Borkholder.

If you look at most of the Yankees' bullpen transactions this year, you will see alot of this.

lol, that reminds me of this year when pedro florimon hit a walkoff triple in the 15th inning and the pirates DFA'd him the next day, lol.

I think most moves are pre-planned when you are dealing with marginal players. No matter what he does in the game before the pending roster move. The marginal player is, sadly, there as stop gap measures and a DFA might be a blessing in disguise, a fresh chance at a new baseball life.

Yea Yanks have been doing this all year - most of their relief options have options left, so they're using them. They're effectively running a 12-man bullpen. Chris Capuano was just the only guy without options
