I think for it depends on:
- How much are they dominating at their current level?
- How consistently are they dominating?
- How old are they?
I tend to be conservative, so people who are tearing the cover off the ball / totally unhittable usually need to have close to a half a season before I will consider moving them. (I usually check every month though.)
Players who are solid at their current level, I'm likely to keep them where they are for at least a full season. "Solid" meaning, something like a guy hitting .265 with some pop, or a pitcher with a FIP in the neighborhood of 3.5 or something.
Players who are playing somewhat sub-par at their current level I leave until they start performing better.
Players who are awful get demoted, or if they are above a certain age, they get cut.
Just my two cents though. And of course, all of this assumes there is somewhere to move them to that won't displace someone else who deserves playing time.
