Hey Steve,
I'm not trying to "cry wolf". I was mainly pointing this out because I thought it was pretty funny. However, from a realism point of view, it does go against the rules and it would be incredibly unfair to the players involved. Plus, in some ways, it's like extending your team roster beyond the 25 guys. Basically, if you had a platoon, you'd call up the guy you needed based on whether a lefty or righty was pitching.
What I think is really happening is that the AI has some sort of determination of "should get a shot at the big leagues if there's room" for the guy when he's at AAA. Then when he gets to the bigs, the AI is thinking "not quite ready". But, the guy they just sent down has a "should get a shot at the bigs", so they start to flip flop. That's my guess, at least.
I don't think this is a big deal at all. I just found it funny, and figured I'd point it out for (a) the laughs and (b) so that eventually it gets looked at.
