[USML Announce] Craig Hansen -- 2005 Game Log

[Richard E. Robbins]

Craig was acquired by the Angries in last year's rotation draft.  I suspect
he was never activated last year.  Nevertheless, Craig Hansen is not a
rookie.  I've attached a link to his 2005 game log -- he has certainly been
on a major league roster too long to retain rookie status.  That's most
likely the reason why his contract was running at the end of last year -- he
lost rookie status based on 2006 service time.

Here is the text of the MLB rookie definition:

A player shall be considered a rookie unless, during a previous season or
seasons, he has (a) exceeded 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the major
leagues; or (b) accumulated more than 45 days on the active roster of a
major league club or clubs during the period of a 25-player limit (excluding
time in the military service).
