This is one that I thought of because of another thread today- make the Rule V draft eligibility settings customizable. For leagues without extensive minor leagues, it doesn't make sense for a player to be in the minors for 4 or 5 years before they are eligible when they have been languishing in the penultimate minor league or only minor league for 3 years. Also, even for more MLB style leagues, being able to reduce the timeframe till a player is eligible could add some real spice to the rule V. Teams would have to decide whether to protect very under-developed prospects or risk a team grabbing them and stashing them on the major league roster the entire season, much like teams do in real life.
I imagine there may be some AI programming issues involved- the AI would have to understand that players taken in the rule V and stashed could be longterm investments, and not necessarily the best option for the roster at a given time. Still, I think this is something that I would really like to have the option to do if possible.
