Duda and O'Day are both ineligible to be sent to AAA. They have exceeded the number of at bats or innings pitched allowed for a player to be sent to the minors. You can either move them to the Inactive List (IL) or make them restricted free agents. Either way they still will count against your salary cap.

Exactly what Carl said, both guys way over limit. Would have caught sooner, but been working this entire weekend.

I know how the rule goes, but it doesn't make sense to me. Basically, you can't send anybody down! That hinders one's ability to bring up prospects.
One of the things I think we're worried about is people just using the minors as a "second bench". Well, there could be a limit on how often a player can be sent down (say, 1 per season). After that, there could be some sort of waiver system where any other team could bid for the player, and if the player is not claimed, then they would be sent down.

Our intent is to make the league as realistic as possible. The purpose of the rule is not that owners will use the minors as a second bench; but rather it's not realistic and owners should be aware to build for the long term with the consequences for moves in mind. You don't see everyday players being demoted to the minors (unless you're the idiot Rockies which is the exception to the rule rather than the rule itself, no offense Larry) simply because the club doesn't have enough roster space. As I told you earlier there are 3 ways around this though; waivers, inactive list, or trades, it's not impossible to make room, you just have to be creative about it.

But this league is different in that there are everyday players in the minors because there are less teams. Plus, I also suggested a system of minor league options, used in the MLB, where players have a set number (1 or 2) which they can be sent down. It's going to be hard in the middle of the season when a star goes down and a team has to A) trade them B) put them on waivers or C) let them take up space on the bench. And what happens if too many are injured and the person doesn't have the cap to bring up someone else?
Sorry, this is all just really confusing to me.

We have unlimited DL spots so that shouldn't ever be a problem. Your previous point is valid though and options will be something we look into, but only for MiLB guys. For the time being let's work under the rules we do have and get your roster fixed up.
