The way WifS does the scheduling, it would be three cycles and would add a day to the season when it is a reasonably rare occassion.

Injured players can't be demoted, promoted or released. That's always been annoying to me, but no big deal. But now, I have an arb-eligible pitcher whom I want gone ... The question is: Will I be able to release him? (I know I can't demote injured players, so I'm doubtful the program will let me release him.) Should I send a ticket now in the hopes of getting something done by arb day? (Hahahaha.) Or am I stuck with him and his $6m salary? (f%*^%)4$$!!)

You can release him.  I didn't think you could when I was in the same situation but you can.  Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Cozy Flores

And this guy Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Jerry Justice sucks because?  Neutral stadium, great PC catchers and a solid defense.

Career 1.36 WHIP, 3.96 ERA.   Not far off in WHIP and would be fine with ERA except he appears to be giving up a few more homers than normal.   Just because you give a pitcher 20m doesn't mean he's a 20m pitcher.

What would you think of adding a new roster move, one that is a "Rehab assignment" for someone coming off the DL, and you can set them at a level for 5 games (or however many you want) before they return to their regular level?

I'm not sure what purpose it would serve.

Hi quick question, what is pitch calling and is it important.

Also I noticed glove affects passed balls, yet 99% of the catchers have about 35 glove. The few with 70-75 in my world give up barely any passed balls. I supose the difference is only a few runs a season so it's not that big of a deal, but would you value these unique catchers higher than most.

PC affects OAV.   The higher the PC the more affect it has on your opponent's batting average.    The difference between 70 and 80 is neglibile.  The difference between 40 and 80 is fairly substantial(IMO).

I've never seen a "catcher" with a 70 glove.     Nonetheless, the difference between the best in my worlds, wrt passed balls, and the worst, seems to be about 12 a year.   Glove is NOT something I even consider when looking for a catcher.

I've always thought that to be the case but it doesn't necessarily look to be true.   Someone brought it to my attention when I stated as much and, quite frankly, I find it hard to dispute that glove plays at least as much a part of PB as range.    You can check the leaderboard, filter passed balls in most any league and find that PB/range-glove are all over the place.    The guy with the 10/19 R/G is just as likely to have as many PB as the 5/31.   Of course, the sample sizes are small and the 5/12 difference isn't that much.   Moonlight Graham's all-time PB leaders

RG          PB/Inning
12/19     64
6/23       57
5/21       91
8/22       100
11/22     77

As you can see, the higher range guys were worse than than all but the 6/23 guy.     It's just all over the place, IMO.

Should that read "Inning/PB"?  100 PB/Inning would have a significant impact on a game...
Also, I've noticed (so it would be anectdotal, no stats behind it) that it seems clear that ranges at the low extreme (0,1,2) have significantly more passed balls than anyone, regardless of glove... I can't think of a C that I've noticed with an extreme-low glove, though; can you?

Yeah but you know what I mean. 

I don't pay much attention to range/glove when seeking a C.     Not sure if I've seen a 0-2 range or a glove less than 12-14.   But here's another example of why I'm no longer sure range is the sole determining factor for PB:  Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Sun Lee   4/37, 1 PB every 150ish innings.   Then there's Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Luis Vizquel  22/35, 1 PB every 370ish innings.    And finally Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Pablo Lee  13/19, 1 PB every 70ish innings.  It would stand to reason, if range was the only factor, that Pablo Lee would be much better than Sun Lee wrt passed balls.    He is not.

I have the #1 overall pick in Guinness. My first season--so my scouting was limited by the WIS constraints. Im at 14/14. No one is jumping out at me as a clear #1 pick. Should I consider ranking an unsignable player at #1 and do-over next year with a higher scouting budget and hopefully a better crop of prospects?

I often do that in my first season in a new world regardless of my draft position.   I like 18m in scouting a lot more than 14m.
