Painmantle, Matt, I mistakenly thought that the human and AI "played by different rules" on this, and I recognize I was wrong on that. However, the point that OOTP allows teams to demote guys they shouldn't be able to is still intact.

Here's what I'm thinking: wouldn't it be a lot closer to reality if OOTP just made it so players with the right to refuse universally rejected demotions? The worst case scenario here is a Chris Capuano gets released when he would have accepted an assignment.
When you add the variable of players sometimes accepting demotions when they have the right to refuse, the worst case scenario is a HoFer playing out the last 3 years and $45MM of his contract in AAA.
