Dodgers are Available

[joeshmoe]

Padres are pitching my name for the Dodgers position.  I have the seniority against everyone posted so far, according to the rules set forth prior.  That being said, when the offer comes in I still love the Padres that will become in 1-2 years.  So I'm mixed.  But if the Dodgers are available I want them.

Please consider me as a GM to fill the vacancy in Los Angeles. Having just come out of retirement I would like to get back into the league where I got my start on ProFSL.
Thanks,
Rick

100000% support. Should have been given the Dodgers last time they were open.

[Dan Wood]

I agree with Corey

I agree that Rick should be given another team, but I don't think that it should be over me for the Dodgers.  I haven't left the league, and have the longest tenure without absence.  My tenure with the Padres has been good and that's with a team that is one of the hardest position within the entire league, low cap and bad roster when I got there.

Furthermore, according to the rules it really isn't a question.  Unless one of the few people above me choose to take the position the issue is solved after a 72hr period from the posting.

I wanted the Yankees back when you vacated them but that didn't happen either.  Then this system was set up to avoid issues as such.  I've got more than enough reasons for why I should have the gig, but yet you don't say a thing about it.  It's exactly why new managers cannot be left to popular choice but should be selected through the process determined.

Any issue with that rule can be taken care of from here on out.  But I am as far as I can tell the next one in line for that gig, according to the rules.

Exceptions can happen tho. We have all made them, but I am sure the commish with choose the right guy for the job

As of 6/3/11, by executive ruling of the Commissioner, the league is having a strict policy on allowing GMs to move from one franchise to another.  All GM openings will initially go internal with a 72 hour period for existing GMs to apply to the job.  If there are no applications then the position will be filled from someone on the waiting list or external posting with the best applicant being given the position.  Internal transfers are allowed for GMs who have served with their existing franchise for nine or more months.  GMs who have less than one year of service with their franchise, but more than nine months are not guaranteed the ability to move to another team, but will be considered based on their activity in the league.  All of these dates have been kept in the franchise histories that are contained in the Official Team Threads. 

Internal transfers will be granted to GMs who have served the longest with their existing franchise.  Tiebreakers (considered for seven day or less difference between two or more GMs) is handled by then looking at continuous FGM tenure and then overall FGM tenure.  The next tiebreakers are subjective and are based on how the MLB team has improved in record under each GM’s leadership.  Non-FGM, ProFSL experience only aids as a last tiebreaker.  If you know you are out of the running for a team you really want then feel free to ask the other internal applicants to step aside and please give them great reasons for doing so.

 Following GMs are not eligible for moving to another franchise just yet.  They need to have more tenure with their existing franchises.  This list, and these bars, are updated whenever there is turnover, so there is a potential for some the bars to be out of date

Very few people are actually eligible before me when it comes to transfers.
