What are people's opinions about people using the DL as an inactive list in the bigs? There is an owner in one of my worlds that has these 2 players on the DL long after they recovered:

MLB teams use it that way all the time. Need to make space on the roster for that hot young CF? Big League #5 OF out of options, and you don't want to waive him? DL him with a hangnail or the flu or "tired arm" or whatever.

i use it in the minors when i have a full roster (like 38/38 in aaa) that way i can hang on to as many minor leaguers as i can and not have fatigue provlems in the future. i wouldn't do this for a genuine prospect but if i have a nothing guy sittin on the dl for forever then whatever.

No problem with it. Sometimes you don't have roster spot after an injury call-up. Leave him on the DL until something opens up.

Coles' ratings are in freefall. It looks like it's not a good strategy for guys with low makeup ratings.

I may be wrong, but the injuries show that they have days until they recover...If they are fully recovered and sitting idle on the DL, there will be a negative (-) sign in front of the days remaining on the DL. These guys have positive days .

Yeah I saw that too Yoker, but if you actually go into the world he is in, the DL status is updated.
