Actually, you could do this in 6.5, and I did it all the time.

Step 1). Claim or sign a player with a major league contract.
Step 2). Put him on waivers.
Step 3). After he clears waivers, put him on the 40 man.
Step 4). Demote him to the minors.
Step 5). Remove him from the 40 man.

I did this a dozen times a season, as I only allowed myself to acquire players through the draft, minor league free agency, and the waiver wire.
