I'm assuming 15 day DL includes all DLs
We need to double check this, both in-game and in RL. If the manual was intended to convey "the disabled list", I don't think it would have made a distinction by listed only the 15-day. I'd like to say I'm certain, but there's been too many things going to recall all the details. Suffice to say, I think there was a discussion that resulted in the 60-day not accuring time, at least in the game. It's easy enough to check. If I don't get to it shortly, either someone else will or I will late this evening when I return home. It'd be important to model RL, if possible.

Edit: Just checked the application of the rule in-game and a player on the 60-day IS accuring service time.

Major League Service Time

Definition
As the title would suggest, ML service time is the amount of time that a player has spent on the active 25-man roster (not from the date he was given a major league contract), the 15 or 60 day DL, or while serving in the military or under suspension.

So, in summary, it appears LGO is correct, rutri is right in his manual interpretation, and the game is handling it in the appropriate manner as goes service time.
