Thanks for your response.
I checked the rule 5 eligible players in my organization and there were 2 players who were signed as minor league FA's but the majority who are mistakenly eligible were originally drafted. I checked CPU managed organizations and found that they had many more minor league FA's but there were also erroneously placed drafted players.
My theory is that players who are promoted/demoted within a calendar year and play for multiple minor league teams within an organization are double or triple counted.
I am certain that something is wrong and its creating an abnormally large number of rule 5 eligible players for each team.
