My first reaction to your proposal is to ask about the guy who has a good team in a Diamond league but whose idea of "fun" is beating the snot out of everyone else. So he chooses to "stay put" in Diamond and has year after year of 120-42 seasons, continued playoff appearances, and many WS wins. He might be having fun, but I bet few others in his league are.

Should this guy be forced to promote? And if so, on what basis? Record? WS Wins? That's how it works now! Or is there some other type of promotion criteria - some sort of "score" based on your card ratings? It gets very difficult to figure out a good and impartial way to determine this.

I understand where you're coming from, and I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea, because I certainly understand what it feels like to be in a league where you can barely compete, but in any competitive situation like this you're guaranteed to run into people who abuse the system. I don't know the answer here but I'm just pointing that out.
