This is long overdue. We should be able to set roster limits by service time, rather than age


Triple-A: International, Pacific Coast — 25 active.
Double-A: Eastern, Southern, Texas — 25 active.
Class A Advanced: California, Carolina, Florida State — 25 active; 35 under control; no more than two players and one player-coach on active list may have six or more years of prior Minor League service.
Class A: Midwest, South Atlantic — 25 active; 35 under control; no more than two players on active list may have five or more years of prior Minor League service.
Class A Short-Season: New York-Penn, Northwest — 35 active. No more than three players on the Active List may have four or more years of prior Minor League service.
Rookie: Appalachian, Pioneer, Arizona, Gulf Coast leagues — 35 active. No more than three players on the Active List may have three or more years of prior Minor League service.

I dunno. For me, it's unrealistic to see a 30 year old in rookie ball.

Service limits pretty much keep that from happening, given the typical real-life ages at which players enter professional baseball.
