I think the point here is that we have the text that says that it would (or at least would imply) that it counts - we're just trying to find something that specificly states that time on the 60 doesn't.

Again, I can swear I remember hearing something in the past that it did NOT count, however I can't find anything to prove that. Bear in mind that the 60 day DL is only meant to be used in cases of emergency and can only (at least in MLB) be used if the 40 man roster has already been filled. Usually in thise cases, the player has already been placed on the 15 day DL, and when a roster spot was made necessary because of the 40 man being full, a player was moved form the 15 to the 60 instead of outrighting a player off the 40 man to accomodate the team.
