So it does mandate one manage the 40-man more stringently, i.e. decide strategy. Is the ML rule in place to prevent exploits then or to promote that diligent management or both? I'm struggling with the logic of carrying a 8-9 month injury into the offseason and (does the game ask the the very day it begins? I'm not sure any longer.) then be asked to move the player on to the active roster, only to wait for preseason to enable moving him back again. Is the temporary occupation of the slot on the 40-man that influential in decision-making during that particular phase?
