If a team wants to leave their ML ready stars down in the minors, they need to take a hit in the fan interest area. I agree completely. Sounds very fair to me.

My spects historically have been trash, but I've gotten at least 7 or 8 of them to be able to play every infield and outfield position.

We should make a council that determines what players are ready. A vote of 5 people should suffice. Every player that is deemed ready can either be brought up, or the team loses 3 points of fan interest. I think that's the fairest way to do it. Either have them called up or force a hit, but not a huge one. It's like how the Sox are taking flak for not bringing up Webster and Bogaerts.

Sox arewinning though, there is a difference...if they were 15-30 it would be afair point, but they arent....only tanking teams would have this penalty...I mean, if I keep Ortiz down an extra year, its cause I dont have a spot for him...he coulda come up last year really, same with Zambrano if needed him

It would be a case by case. You'd obviously take talent blocked players into account.

Example:
Player A is = to Player B
Player A is 24 and on a team 2 years away from competing. He obviously is ready and is forced up or penalty.
Player B is 21 and on a team that's floundering or mid build. He's obviously ready, but he's young enough where his team shouldn't be forced to bring him up.

23 is a good age to force ready people up.

This is all moot because I'll never force anyone to bring their players up early. Keep brainstorming though! Constructive use of time imvho.

Forcing and giving an option is different.

I dont think we should force the bringing up of players. I think we should lower fan interest for teams that show no interest in fielding a decent team.

No way anyone would go watch the Padres this year. No reason to go.
