I was messing with my roster last night and sent Mike Carp back to the Giants. I didn't realize he was a rule 5 draft pick. I want him to stay on the Giants though. This team is such a mess. I have 4 more rule 5 draftees on the roster...but they are better than anyone I have in the minors

I have 4 more rule 5 draftees on the roster...but they are better than anyone I have in the minors Well the rule V is a good way to start making it better! Maybe some of those guys get better....then you can trade them. Groom those specs and try make a team! It's tough taking over a team that has been neglected.....trust me the A's weren't in great shape when I took them over either. I hope you can stick with it and make them better.....it really takes a special GM to deal with all the loosing but once you put it all together it's really rewarding! Plus rebuilding can be one of the funnest parts of the game in my opinion!

I'm looking forward to it. This draft will give me some prospects and I have a ton of money coming off the books after this season. That's why I traded Hellickson for Braun. Hellickson still had 3 years of 15 mil or more salary and Braun is a free agent after this season. I think I'm headed in the right direction.

Both Carp and Juan Diaz (from the A's) were released by the game instead of being returned to me. OOTP doesn't ever seem to return Rule V guys, just release them so we probably need to use this forum again.
Can I have them both back in the minors please Derek.

But, if you release them you are charged for their salary, right?

It seems that OOTP returns them to their original clubs and resets their salary to 0, then releases them from the original club the same day - so I believe that there is no charge on anyone.
I could be wrong though.
