Shouldn't we be more interested in limiting the upside of this new, powerful ability to promote and demote players as needed?
Well, I see what you are saying, but I think we are trying to find a balance in limiting the ability to move players up and down willy nilly, but still having a useful tool to allow a little roster flexibility if need be. If there is no cap on the raises, the after a certain point it makes no sense to move a player down because the bonus you would have to pay is outrageous. Maybe there are other ways to limit the movement. I'm definitely open to suggestions.
