IM LOOKING FOR POSSIBLE IDEAS TO PREVENT ALL TEAMS
FROM MOVING THEIR TOP HITTERS AND PITCHERS TO THE MINORS.
THUS PLAYING THEIR GAMES WITH LESSER TALENTED PLAYERS.AND
INCREASING THEIR CHANCE OF LOSING TO GET A HIGHER ROOKIE
DRAFT PICK IN NEXT YEARS DRAFT.
MY IDEA WOULD BE THIS; SINCE ALL PLAYERS HAVE A PUREBASEBALL
VALUE,THE PLAYERS THAT ACHIEVE A VALUE THAT RANKS THEM IN THE
STAR CATEGORY FOR THAT POSITION {OUTFIELD-INFIELD POSITIONS-CATCHER-
STARTERS AND RELIEVERS} COULD NOT BE SENT TO THE MINORS.HE WOULD ONLY
LEAVE THE ACTIVE ROSTER THE NUMBER OF GAMES HE WAS INJURED.
EXAMPLE WOULD BE A SHORTSTOP WITH A PUREBASEBALL VALUE OF 6.5 OR
ABOVE COULD NOT BE MOVED.PUREBASEBALL WOULD NEED TO SET THE
CUT OFF VALUE FOR EACH POSITION THAT WOULD ALLOW A PLAYER FROM BEING
MOVED FROM THE ACTIVE ROSTER.EXCEPTIONS WOULD BE SENT TO THE COMMISSIONER
FOR APPROVAL.
THIS WOULD STOP TEAMS FROM SENDING THEIR TOP PLAYERS TO THE MINORS
HOPING TO LOSE.WOULD ANY MAJOR LEAGUE TEAMS SEND B.BONDS-R.CLEMENS-D.JETER- ECT.
TO THE MINORS ? AND THERE ISNT A NEED TO SEND ANY PLAYERS TO THE MINORS WHO HAVE
A HIGH PUREBASEBALL VALUE. TO ACHIEVE THIS HIGH VALUE THAT PLAYER ALWAYS HAS ENOUGH
AT BATS AND INNINGS PITCHED TO REMAIN ON THE ACTIVE ROSTER ALL SEASON IF USED CORRECTLY.
THIS WOULD ONLY EFFECT THE TOP RATED STAR PLAYERS.ALL OTHER AVERAGE AND BELOW AVERAGE
PLAYERS COULD BE MOVED AT ONES DESIRE.THIS DOSNT CURE ALL THE PROBLEMS OF TEAMS NOT
TRYING TO COMPETE,BUT ITS A START IF THE TEAMS BEST PLAYERS ARE AT LEAST ON THE ACTIVE
ROSTER.LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY BETTER IDEAS OR THOUGHTS ON TRYING TO MAKE THE LEAGUES
MORE COMPETITIVE FOR THE WHOLE SEASON.
