Take the following players as two of many examples I think.

ATL AA, CF Russ Stanley 0 time as professional, rule 5 eligible
SS Mal Hopkins, 18 yrs old, 0 time as professional, rule 5 eligible (he has one of those $0 contracts though)

Those are the types of things that confuse me, and to which I refer.
