Babtists,

The problem is that all 1-year contracts expire at the end of the season. A player that signs a 1-year contract with a league that has not reached free agency can become a free agent again without the team playing a single game.

Going back to my example, the player should have stayed on the Saint Louis Browns roster through 11/10/06.
