We have voted to keep our forced promotion of our minor leagues, and we also have forced activations of the DL. When we first discussed this issue I remember at least a couple of owners stated that they would be good with stepping up to police this issue. The commissioners office is now requesting that 3 of you volunteer to become the police for this league(the first 3 who volunteer will be accepted).
We've discussed this in the past. The fact that we have such rules means that we need to enforce them during the regular season and in the playoffs. We can't vote to have rules and then not enforce them. Our enforcement of these rules wasn't necessarily great this year which can be unfair at times. I know I personally only checked rosters for being legal once every few weeks, and there were a couple of times people reached out to me to point out illegal rosters.
I've always felt, and still do, policing a league will never catch 100% of things right away, but by having 3 guys who have the responsibility of policing this maybe we can get close.
I will be setting forth a proposal to be put up for vote to deal with the enforcement timeline and penalties for non compliance to our minor leagues/DL rules, so that we have something set in stone in our constitution.
