Maybe I'm wrong, it just seemed to make sense at the time. I believe I did have to pay the $7,650 when he signed.

There's a lot of pressure when you're always right.    Heavy lies the crown....

For the record.

Especially when you indicate to people that doing something like designating a player for assignment when he is in a pending trade could void out the trade...

I guess you have an example.   I know it used to be true.   ANY status change voided deals.   May not be now.   I might, and I mean MIGHT, say something like "I THINK that's correct" if someone else says it's true.

ANY status change? For as long as I've played I have usually deactivated minor leaguers that I am trading, to prevent injury. That never voided any deal either and deactiviating players certainly fits under the umbrella of ANY status change.....

Rest and/or deactivation aren't really status changes.    Unless, of course, you also believe moving a player from 2nd to 6th in the line-up is a status change.

Oh, but by definition they are, Mike. Thier status has changed. Instead of trying to split hairs or make excuses, just admit you are wrong. Nobody will think any less of you. It won't kill you. SOME status changes can void trades would be the correct statement you are looking for. When you take the time to do something foolish like say "ANY" in all caps, you should do your homework.

 

Edit: Wrong word!

Is moving a player from 2nd to 6th in the batting order a status change?  What about pinch hitting for him in the 9th?   Changing his position from CF to 2B?   I know this may sound crazy, bat-**** crazy even, but I expect people, even those on this board, to use just a tiny bit of common sense.  That even applies to you.

Active is a status. Inactive is a status. That IS common sense. Don't backtrack now. YOU are the one who said ANY, not me. Is it really that hard to just say "Oops, I was wrong on that one"? Seems to be, in your case. Grasp at any straws you'd like, and attempt a personal shot while you are at it. I'm sure it makes you feel better.

This reeks of desperation, even for you Mike. BIG difference between lineup spots, and activating/deactivating a player, and Resting a player. Man, you'll do ANYTHING to avoid admitting you're wrong, won't you?

This is even more desperate. Sad, Mike. Really sad. Batting lineups? Slots in an order are not indicated on the player card as a "status". Active/Inactive are. Try again.

 

EDIT: Wait, you do understand the difference bewteen status as a word/concept and "status" as it applies to your players in HBD, right? If you don't, that could explain a lot. It's in Help, under Player Status....in case you want to look it up.

Are you having a conversation with yourself?  Because it looks like it. 

Use common sense. 

Don't try to avoid the obvious, Mike. Deflect all you'd like, another desperate tactic. All this is easier than, "Oops, my mistake."?

It's easier to find a time when mike's wrong than trying to nitpick a technicality.  Don't try so hard.
