I think part of the problem is that many OOTP players don't know that putting a guy on the 60-day DL removes him from the 40-man roster, thereby making him Rule 5 eligible, assuming he has the service time.

It seems that many GM's will put a guy on the 60-day DL, simply because his injury is scheduled to last more than 60 days. In many cases, like the one described in the OP, it makes more sense to just put the guy on the 15-day DL, no matter what the length of his injury is. Unfortunately, a lot of people just don't get that.
