Removed players

If your doing a Y2Y franchiadt, they are still there(service time and stats in tact), just the name has changed(along with their physical likeness)

Injury can't be the reason.....Arod hasn't played in forever and he's there......

A-Rod was on the reserve list. Its a different situation from the dl.

This is how it's supposed to work and this is how it has been in years past.

Same goes for players on the restricted list. Example this year is Alex Rodriguez was on the Yankees 40 man and restricted list last season and is still in MLB 15. Franklin Gutierrez of the Mariners was also on his teams 40 man all season while on the restricted list and he is missing in MLB 15. He shouldn't be. Kris Medlen, Tim Beckham, Brandon Beachy should all be in MLB 15 and are missing. All accumulated service time last season while injured. Look at Matt Moore of the TB Rays he went on the DL in spring training last year (tJ Surgery) and he's still in MLB 15. Brandon Beachy's service time in MLB 14 is 3.014. Go to his baseball reference page and as of January 2015 he has 4.014 years of service time while not playing a single game last season. Kris Medlen in MLB 14 4.137 and as of January 2015 his service time is now 5.137. Tim Beckham of the Rays played in 5 games in 2013. Tore his ACL in Spring training of 2014. Was on the Rays 40 man the entire 2014 season (Still on their 40 man now) and accumulated 0.145 days of service time and has already exceeded rookie limits without playing a single game in 2014. No way you accumulate that kind of service playing in 5 games the year before.

I do not think the EA NHL team had anything to do with this game.

I've been following it since 2009. Who is in and who is out seems to be an "evolving" issue every year. We lost 30 players this year because FA list 1 is a bunch of legends.

Most of the players on this list all played in the Minors last season. Never got called up and were never on a 40 man. They weren't going to be in MLB 15 regardless. It's always been that way. Great list though nonetheless.

There are a few on the list that should be in MLB 15, but most of the guys on there weren't going to be in either way.
