I recall this coming up once before in a discussion and someone found something that indicated it is the way it is in the game. However, I also recall for some reason thinking that the source used wasn't all that reliable. I also seem to remember Markus posting in the thread so maybe he remembers it better. Anyway, I think you're right. I'm just saying that there did appear to be some contradicting evidence.
EDIT:
Here we go. Okay, so I remembered it wrong. I don't remember everything right.
Note that in the end they came to LGO's conclusion, not Markus's.
EDIT 2: Maybe look at it this way.. It seems a pretty big loophole and not at all the intention of the 60day DL if you let teams put a guy on the 60day DL so he doesn't accrue service time. I'm pretty sure the MLBPA would realize this and demand that service time accrue regardless.
