WHATZzz UP WITH THIS!!!!! In Beta 107 there are around 30+ new rookie free agents. The weird thing about it is that they are all over 30 and mostly in their late 30s; also, a couple of 40+ year olds. It is a really weird bug. When have you ever heard of a 35 year old rookie???? It does happen in the major leagues, but only a couple of times each year, and they don't figure into the team much. But my scouting reports are telling me that a 34 year old rookie is a future hall of famer. Tomorrow in the next sim I'm pretty sure that the computer teams will sign the 35 year old rookies. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????

I have noticed another weird problem with rookies and their descriptions. I am creating a new league - WCL (West Coast League; more on that later) and while going in depth on the Baltimore roster (pitching only so far) I have noticed at least 3 instances of Rookie pitchers that are described as over the hill. My examples are as follows:
1) Ryan Kohlmeier Age 24: Although he's a bit on the old side, Kohlmeier will pitch consistently well for you.
2). John Parrish Age 23: While time seems to be catching up with Parrish, it hasn't quite caught him yet. There are many solid outings left in him. (I hope so!)
3). Luis Rivera Age 23: Rivera is a very capable pitcher who plays above his age diminished skill level.
I haven't gone through the fielding/batter roster yet, kinda scared to now.
As for the problem mentioned by raiti2001 I have noticed that on occassion there will be players on rosters that should be closer to retirement than listed as rookies, 30 to 35+ in age category.
Hopefully someone has time to look into this unique problems.
