Here is the kind of player I see occasionally landing in rookie ball. This guy, Frank, was signed by the Pirates as a minor league free agent in 2051 at age 32. He was sent to AAA where he played poorly for a month or so, then he was demoted to a rookie league. He is too old to be assigned to any other level but the game seems to permit assignment to an organization's lowest level despite any age limit.

At the end of the season, this guy became a free agent. He was subsequently signed to play in the Mexican League where he is now.

The AI seems to want to retain players like this and not release them and the game is allowing assignment only to the rookie level in reaction to maximum age settings.
