Wade Jackson was selected in the Rule V, offered back, original owner declined, so I assigned him to AAA (a level higher than his previous year).  Now on his player card it says, 'Promotion', but he took a hit in many ratings.

I'm sure it's because he was a Rule V return, but I had just never seen it before.

Wade Jackson, the player, thought Wade Jackson was gonna be playing in the majors. But his hopes were deflated and so were his ratings. Give him a few months of solid PT and he'll probably rebound. See the "young player acquired in trade..." thread for my more detailed thoughts on how the "Promotion" report works.

I think sox is right re: the Promotion "report" (better terminology than calling it a "bump") and I've had Rule 5 picks decline in similar circumstances. I believe it is due to the fact he is sitting in limbo (so no playing time at all) during the draft/offer back/assignment process.
