i figured out a soft of half assed way around it - the player i was trying to get off the dl was curis granderson and for some reason there are two of him in the game, one on the yankees and one on the all star team - i simply assigned both to the yankees - seems dumb to have to do that -
overall i think the game is fun but there are some really stupid clunky things about how files are saved and are loaded and deleted - seems really poorly thought out.
also reggie jackson is in the game for some reason - he'll be a good replacement for the time being :~)
