Cruz was borderline. He can't hold him for ONE year? People do that shit all the time in real life. Xander fucking Bogaerts should be Bostons starting SS but they are holding him so they can shed a bit of salary and test out Iglesias one last time. Yeah the Mets are doing the same shit with Wheeler and d'Arnaud so that they are under team control for an additional season.

He's bringing them all up next year so I don't see an issue with holding them. If he was waiting for 2001 I'd be on your side but he's just waiting one year to get them more in line with his younger guys. Christ.

Dan will start competing in 2000, so what he's doing now is ok and will be over soon enough...

they were ready at the start of the season, I have no problem holding them if its a month in even, but at the start of the season? At a certain point, winning 25 games should ruin your fanbase.

It does, there is a rule for it, I am following the rule. If you want to change the rules then do it, but don't get pissed at me when I am following the rule that exists

What do you want me to do? No one wanted anything I had, except for my top prospects who aren't moving... You have 7 exports this season, I have 12, I log on almost every day, but there isn't a shit load to do when I am tanking... Erbes doesnt count when I pm him for some reason, Ive done alot of that this year

Erbes doesn't count when I post that I don't need to physically export in the threads. I keep track of it myself.

If he had anybody with any semblance of ability fine, but he had THREE that were FAR better than anything in the majors, and deliberately left them all down. There is no place for that, it ruins the league for people that arent willing to go full tank, as they have no shot at number one...it shouldnt be required that you not only dump all talent, but bring up the shittiest possible players in order to lose

As far as Clevelands bank thread, I added his 2.5 to me accidentally and then added his +2.5 post after it. IDK how it lost 250k.

It's been done in every league I've ever been in. This is the first league that truly throws a nutty over it and I've been in 4.

I didn't even mainly leave them down to tank, I left them down for an extra year of salary. Seems like a waste to bring up three guys and take a year off me owning them when there is no way in hell I am going to compete

Seems like a waste to bring up three guys and take a year off me owning them when there is no way in hell I am going to compete but your fans would quit...Erbes needs to change the shit where it takes five years, 30 wins or fewer should trump that since it means you give absolutely no shits as to what you put on that field

His fans would quit? You do realize there are still thousands and thousands of Marlins fans in real life after the queer shit they went through and are going through right? Baseball isn't a sport run by casuals like Basketball and Football.

Baseball isn't a sport run by casuals like Basketball and Football. the worst modern day record is 43 wins, so yeah, id say his fans would completely stop showing up at all, not to mention the fact that long term it would damage the fan interest. Would you show up at all to watch not even prospects, but a bunch of minor league scrubs being paid to lose?
