I've been running some experiments lately with AI eval settings and human made rosters (your's and an older Rolen made roster) and am seeing that the stats that import with each player from real life really have a huge effect on how the AI deals with players and rosters. Even with the eval settings leaning pretty heavily on ratings the AI still does some silly things. Although not perfect, I've found that the AI improves it's roster move significantly if you weigh the AI eval settings to 100% ratings for at least the first month and then gradually bring up "current season's stats" up until they're about 50/50 by the end of the first season. After that you can add in a little % for last years stats but not until those stats were generated in OOTP and NOT in real life. For whatever reason the real world stats really seem to confuse the AI. Obviously, the more a player's ratings deviate from his real world history the bigger the confusion.
In one of Rolen's created rosters I'm toying with now I set ratings to 100% at the beginning of the league (which starts Jan 1st) and go through all of the offseason, spring training, and April's games. The trades and roster moves are MUCH more realistic and logical. Then, I simply take 10% from ratings and the end of each month and give it to current years stats. Then once the first season is over I start splitting it the total between ratings, current year, and last year's stats.
You may give it a shot. I figure if you set ratings at 100% for at least the first off season and spring that would help with DFA's and waivers.

At first glance, this does prevent AI teams from releasing prospects that are DFAed - instead they just assign them to the minors, which is fine by me.
Also, CubbyFan - Koji Uehara was signed by the Orioles as a starter. At the moment he has only 7 endurance. He was a closer in Japan recently, but only because of some disagreement he had with his team, not because of any endurance problems.
