Amend 7 day ww rule

[Minnesota Twins]

I'd like to amend the rule allowing ww moves in response to trades...

the 7 day rule is in place. if you promote a player from the minors or waivers, you cannot demote him for 7 days. Likewise, if you demote someone, you cannot promote him for 7 days.

Add the following?
Except when ww move is associated with a trade.

I would agree to this. Only involving trades.

[ex-Pittsburgh Pirates]

extra conditions make it harder to manage the enforcement.

i dunno. any other opinions?

it's playing bench games.....the in and out nonsense. I dont mind the rule. We'll just have to police it best we can.

[Minnesota Twins]

Nyy and lad if you are in favor of amendment let your voice be heard. I think we can agree to this trade exception.

see my rant at the promotion thread

[New York Yankees]

Yeah, I'd either like to see it go away altogether or amended for trades and injuries.

this from promo thread
im sure im not the only person monitoring transactions. this 1 week period for promo/demo has to go. its a waste of everyones time. we dont need this rule. we had no problem for the 1st 7 years of this league.
go back to original way with the understanding of NO STREAMING. PERIOD.
no penalties..no fines, no lost draft picks! you stream, ur out of the league. PERIOD.
we dont need this rule for one manager. let him conform to the way our league works.

love and kisses always,

now let the cooler heads have their say

I'm fine w removal but not necessarily w the you're kicked out zero tolerance. Good owners are hard to find and commishes should have some discretion imo

[LA Dodgers]

Wow did i miss something??? Im fine with either keeping it or amending it for trades or getting rid of it entirely.

no d-dog.
get rid of it
no streaming
commish discretion on penalties

[LA Dodgers]

i realize now i made a mistake. i honestly forgot about the 7 day rule. i only brought him up because of the trade i made. I will send lamb back down and he will stay there for 7 days.

[ex-Pittsburgh Pirates]

im fine with removal. but just so you know, it WILL lead to an argument eventually. when there is only a gentlemen's agreement to enforce a rule, different folks will have different interpretations and that means someone will abuse it from someone else's point of view.

whatever the league wants to do is fine. im always in favor of fewer rules. just wanted to make the point above though.

[Minnesota Twins]

Sounds good. Yankees consider yourself warned about maedananigans

[New York Yankees]

I would but I already traded him to U!
