I was browsing through the draft history of one of the AI teams in my fictional league and found something odd. A player drafted from a high school feeder league suffered an injury setback that ended his career after he was drafted but before he actually signed. The AI team signed him to a big bonus and then released him the next day.
Here is the relevant excerpt from his transaction log:
Quote:

02/01/2014 Injured (shoulder inflammation), out for 3 months.
04/05/2014 Released by the Edmonton HS Clerics.
04/10/2014 Drafted in the 2014 first-year player draft (Round 1, Pick 2, 2nd overall pick) by the Cape Breton Mules.
04/22/2014 Injury setbacks result in end of career.
05/09/2014 Signed a minor league contract with the Cape Breton Mules organization with a signing bonus of $8,800,000.
05/10/2014 Released by the Cape Breton organization.
