And where would Lukasberger put them? They shouldn't be unassigned free agents, since as you note, they already do have jobs and contracts.

I don't see why you bothered to list a few names; there are 30 1B coaches, 30 3B coaches and 30 bullpen coaches in the majors, another 50-100 assistant coaches in the minors, plus another 100 or so roving pitching/hitting/catching/whatever instructors, none of which are in OOTP. Also, most teams have strength and conditioning coaches in addition to their trainer, and of course teams don't just have a scouting director, they have hundreds of scouts. And of course international leagues have all of these, too.

The logical place to draw the line is people who hold jobs represented in the game, plus a few who have held those jobs in the recent past and may again.

There are already a number of personnel who hold jobs in the MLB as first base coaches or third base coaches or bullpen coaches that are in the game as free agents. An example would be Joe McEwing who is a coach with the White Sox and is in the game as a Free Agent Bench Coach. Of the people I listed Rob Thomson is actually the Bench Coach of the Yankees not the guy that is in the game. Others like Leiper and Espada are respected coaches who should, I think, be in the game. That is why I listed a few examples.

I'm not asking for every instructor or conditioning coach to be added. Just guys like the examples I gave or maybe the option to unretire coaches in the game.

Yeah, I'm with you on getting those guys unretired. Pretty sure I've done so for some of the guys you listed though. You may need to try to roster update Markus posted, or wait till next patch to see that though.

[Penfold75]

I used the update and Lukas you did a great job updating a load of guys from retired to free agents. These guys were just a few I noticed after the update. The issue with Baines and Salas in my original post was something new where the option to turn a retired player into a coach wasn't available for some reason.

I know you aren't; that's my point. I don't see the logic of asking for three or four specific base coaches to be unretired ... why not all 60? And if base coaches, why not other coaches or instructors, who also could be hired as managers/bench coaches/etc (and in some cases have been in the past). There are a dozen guys like that in every MLB org, all of whom are varying flavors of interesting/popular/respected and who have various kinds of jobs and who are not actually "retired" as the game has them -- from Omar Vizquel to George Brett to Dave Duncan to Mickey Morandini and on and on.

IMO, if you're going to unretire some of them, you need to have some kind of logic and rationale of why you don't want to do all of the hundreds of others in MLB (plus, as noted, international leagues). I'm not saying such a rationale can't exist or is impossible; I'm saying the line has to be drawn somewhere, and asking you where you think it should be.

[The Yurpman]

This is an extremely minor transaction but Frank Viola III (son of Frank Viola) is attempting a comeback. He's retired in the database. Tim Wakefield is working with him to develop a knuckleball. (Got this info from mlbtraderumors.com)

Someone like Vizquel is a good example of someone who should be in the game as some sort of coach as it is pretty much expected that is what his career progression will be to either a hitting coach or bench coach or manager. First Base and Third Base coach are important roles on the MLB teams so maybe there would be no harm in at least those guys being in the game as they may well become the future bench coaches or managers. What I am thinking about is for instance some of the bench coaches/hitting coaches start retiring in the game. Woudn't it be good to have some of the guys who would replace them in the real MLB in the game.

[C-Man73]

Been playing with the Braves and have noticed that you can send Andrew McKirahan (a Rule 5 guy) to the minors without placing him on waivers.

Yeah, there's no way for us to flag rule 5 guys, so they're just like any other player.

Trea Turner is still with the Padres in real life. He was drafted less than a year ago, and by the CBA rules, he can't be traded for at least a year after he's drafted. He's the player to be named later in the three way trade between the Padres, Nationals, and Rays, so he won't join Washington's system until mid-June or so.

I feel like we should put him with the Nationals though. Will talk to haveband about it.

yes, but in the last three versions he has been in the Washington farm system. so, unless he's going to be auto traded on a given date to Washington, he should be on the Nats for the purposes of the game.

[The Yurpman]

Yeah, in all previous versions Turner was with the Nationals.

RP (Or Closer!) Andrew Miller is wayyyyyy underrated in the game. And the "he hasn't done enough time as an elite reliever to prove he deserves it" is null since Betances is a 4.5 star. Miller is simply filthy and is just as good as Betances.

[Mgomz]

Or maybe say on this date Turner wil be transferred over to the Nats from the Padres in game.
If not Traded by next update might put like Hamels,Utley and so on the Trading Block.
You have a Strike Season Saved Game how about one for 2015 season like at Midseason meaning have Midseason Standings/Stats?

You can do it in your own game, but we can't do it for the set. We'll get Andreas to fix that at some point.

BUYOUTS ??

So this mean that all kinds of buyouts on all players are not in the game ??

I surely never had a closer look, but Kimbrel was so new at the time and I had a look at his new contract.

[IsaacR]

Ryan Lavarnway should be out of options.
