I still need someone to explain this to me. Sometimes the simple escapes me, and maybe it's there. But I have a league with NO Service Times. All players start with a clean slate. Whether in ST or in season, players with or without major league contracts end up on waivers when being sent to the minor league levels.

I understand, I think correctly, that a player with a major league contract would clear waivers IF he's also being removed from the 40-man, but he's not. He's simply being sent to the minors with - given no service time - I would think, no right of refusal.

Wrong? Something fishy? Probably unimportant to the mainstream? Just let me know. When it's been brought up or PM'd about in the past, I've never received any definitive position or answer. Thanks in advance.
