Well if Bill Mueller wasn't on the 25-man roster last August 31st, then where was he? Was he acquired after August 31st?
And what about Francisco Rodriguez on Anaheim last year? Why was he playoff eligible?

Mueller was acquired after August 31. (He was acquired with Cash considerations from the Cubs for Jeff Verplancke on September 3rd - source MLB.com)
Rodriguez (as mentioned in my post above) was the replacement for an injured player who was playoff eligible, but still on the DL. (He replaced Steve Green).
