There seems to be numerous ways from what I have read. If someone can post it one time the correct and easiest steps to take and have it stickied to the front page, all of the "how do I do this?" posting could be avoided possibly. Other than that, Knight did a helluva job on these rosters and they look tremendous. Cant wait to get started on a franchise!!

Because there are two completely separate and different ways of going about it, and an infinite number of options/choices/decisions based on what one wants to control or care about there after.

If you read through the thread there have been several itemized descriptions on the process already. There are also a handful of threads in the general forum, as well as on the front page of the the Spring Training version outlining the process.

I feel the real issue is that many of the users asking for specific instructions have not taken the time to investigate or play around with the options, user settings, or profile options before asking a very broad question for a very detailed and itemized process. I can understand a direct question like 'where is option X located?', 'how do I create a custom profile?, or 'what happens if I leave option Y selected?'...

...yet many of the questions are more along the lines of 'how do I get everything perfect with minimal effort and not knowing where any of the the options you're referencing are located...'

I've always been one of the first guys to reach out and help others understand as much about the game / processes as I possibly can (including responding to dozens of PM's), but please do everyone that genuinely wants to help a favor by researching / searching before asking a question that has probably been answered dozens of times before.

The OS Forum has a wealth of information available. Although it may be time consuming to research or search for an answer I'm positive it is already here.

Fantastic work as always everyone. As one of the few O's fans, I only noticed one thing now (besides Markakis' R/L switch which was already noted). Chris Jakubauskas is on Free Agent list 3, but he started the year at AAA (he's actually on the ML roster now when Matusz went down.) I added him manually, but you might want to put him in whatever your next update is. Otherwise, I'm loving this and am ready to start my chise! Thanks again!

The first page of this thread is what I used, combined with the opening day lineup, rotation spreadsheet at mlbdepthcharts.com - worked perfect.

One thing I always have trouble with is deciding who to remove from a roster when a team trades or signs for a new guy. For example, Yankees signed Carlos Silva. Who should I swap him out for? I remember last year, I would put the lowest rated guy on the free agent list and make a note of it so when a spot opens up, I put him back on the roster. Any other opinions on this matter?

Haha....I'm only laughing because I was looking for a player to put the last guy in(Drese maybe?)...and I hadn't seen his name on the AAA roster and figured he might be on the shelf.
Figures.

Before you choose "Exit Spring Training/Enter regular season", you have to reassign which (15) players on the 40-man roster to send to AAA/AA, or else the CPU will do it for you. Unfortunately, the CPU will not trim the team down to the 25-man roster that you had before entering Spring Training. Instead it will use the game's logic to decide who to keep at the MLB level, as well as the rotation, pen, lineup, and bench. That's just the way it is. The easy way.. if you plan to skip Spring Training for year 1, just trim the 40-man down to 25 before entering Spring Training. That way you go into it with 25/25 and not 25/40. Simulate through Spring Training. End Spring Training. Enter regular Season. NOW you go through and add those additional 15 players BACK to the 40-man roster. Lineups, rotations, etc. should be just as they were on the original roster file (Assuming you had selected MANUAL for those decisions ahead of time).

Is this the best way to go?? Because I plan on skipping spring training and just jumping into my franchise.
