I would look for other explanations, to be honest, and would first check to make sure that I had the 40-man roster enabled....
Gave me a chuckle. Yes, everything's enabled etc.... I'm confident the decision correlates with the rookie status across the board. I'm at a loss to explain it with any other criteria. In fact, now that I think back on it, I'm not altogether sure they've even moved anyone on to the 40-man aside from the active players. I'll have to recheck that as that would be an oddity I don't recall observing previously. Hmmm...

Worst case scenario, I'll be able to see if ST season 2 yields different results. That is, if I get to season 2 before 2007 comes out.
