This allows teams with nothing at stake to take a look at some of their minor leaguer prospects and see if they might cut it in the majors. Although the broken bat rules state that the minors should only contain players 25 years and younger there is nothing stopping you swapping players in the minors and majors to represent what happens in mlb. I for one have done this when I feel the team is out of contention for promotion and at no risk of being relegated (usually the final series of games against teams in my division), I have no idea whether anybody else has.
