If you go to Rules --> Rosters --> MiLB Roster, you will see something to consider.
I would like to replace
c. After 5 promotion/demotion transactions into the 40 MAN MLB Roster has occurred, the prospect/minor league player may still be moved up or down through the waiver process. If a prospect/minor league player clears the waiver process, then the prospect/minor league player can be processed within the franchise. If a prospect/minor league player does not clear the waivers process, then the prospect/minor league player will be claimed by the posting franchise.
with
c. Once a batter has received 130 at bats or 50 innings pitched during the current season, they are no longer considered a rookie. Thus, they are eligible to be picked up at ESPN by any team at that time, even though they may be on someone's MLB or MiLB roster on the free forums site here.

I think there should be a slight alteration. For the implicitly owned, i.e. unlisted here, your rule should suffice. For the explicitly owned (and therefore for everyone I imagine) I think it should be altered slightly. I basically want to avoid what just happened with Odor and Gausman.
So what if instead of adding a time limit like a 24 hours or 48 hours or a week or whatever for the initial owner to claim a player, we just slightly increase the limit for everyone? Say 145-150 at bats and 57-60 innings pitched? Everyone should know when their players are getting close to exceeding the limit, but that should give them from 2-3 days to a week to find the time to add them without worrying about someone paying closer attention and stealing them.
It's basically a time frame without a time frame, so nobody has to monitor it. And it should be easy to check if there are any questions.
I probably won't be affected much either way, so I don't care, but I'm a bachelor with too much time on my hands. Those of y'all with families or jobs that require a lot of travel might need to extra time sometimes.

I am fine with bumping it up, but no matter where you put it, there's a line in the sand. 150 AB/60 IP is fine with me, but it would be nice to hear some others' thoughts here too before we make it final. You have some good thoughts. Thanks!

sethbias brings up a few good points about monitoring and having families or jobs that require a lot of travel might need to have extra time.
In another league I'm in last year, I lost Billy Hamilton because I was on vacation for a week and the league had a 24 hour limit once rookie limits were hit to make a move, I missed it for 2 days and lost him.
Just throwing this out there... Have a thread (Rookie Wavier Wire) where once an owner (A) see a player that is no longer a rookie on another owners teams MiLB Roster (B) that they would like to have on their roster (A), claims the player in the RWW thread and then send a league PM out so all owners see. This would give the owner(A) who caught this, the 1st rights to the player. Then after a determined time (decided later, say 1 week), if the (B) owner hasn't made a move to protect the player, the new owner (A) gets the player if they still want him. This way every owner would just have to make sure they check the Rookie Wavier Wire a couple times a week.
Trying to be fair to the owner who had the player 1st.
Does this sound dumb ? ? ?
