That's right, thanks, I forgot about that. Check that out memphisjohn, you'll find your answer.
Here are the codes for unsuccessful waiver claims on that page:
1: went below minimum total team salary requirement
2: roster size requirements violated
3: illegal number of pitchers
4: illegal number of hitters
5: too few starting pitchers
6: too few relievers
7: too few closers
8: too few catchers
9: not enough cash
10: too few "pure" relievers
