And I apologize if I misinterpreted your remarks but the "smiley" you posted made me think you were assuming I am "cooking the books" in order to make the AI look bad or something.

And yes, I am a bit sensitive on these forums after so many people accusing me of basically the above with several veterans blocking me as if I'm some "9/11 truther" or something.

I believe there are AI issues just not anywhere close to what you report. It makes me think there is some file corruption going on. As for the rule 5 draft I can only show this

Selection eligibility[edit]
Players are eligible for selection in the Rule 5 draft who are not on their major league organization's 40-man roster and:

– were 18 or younger on the June 5 preceding their signing and this is the fifth Rule 5 draft upcoming; or

– were 19 or older on the June 5 preceding their signing and this is fourth Rule 5 draft upcoming.

These exemption periods (one year longer than those in effect previously) went into effect as part of a new Collective Bargaining Agreement in October 2006. The change took effect immediately, exempting many players from the 2006 Rule 5 draft even though they had been signed in some cases more than four years before the new agreement came into effect. Prior to the rule change, players were exempt from the first two or three Rule 5 drafts held after their signing (regardless of the year they were drafted), rather than from the first three or four Rule 5 drafts after their signing.

Don Hunt born October 2073 was drafted March of 2093 as a 19 year old. By the criteria set above, the Rule 5 draft in Dec 2096 is the fourth, making him eligible. I'll see if I can find an 18 year old.

Ed Eldridge, drafted as an 18 year old in 2093 is as expected not eligible.

If these were all from just one file you would have a point worth checking out. However, I find it hard to believe that every game I start is getting corrupted. And if it is then that just means there is a different problem but still a problem that needs to be fixed.
