Coli Fantasy Baseball Keeper League Season 5 (2014) [DRAFT DONE...now we wait]

[God Loves Uggla]

You think this is messing up the integrity of the league?

Go on and explain.... Keeping in mind: The bottom team has been tanking since the season's opening weeks, and the team below me has pitching slots open as he's set to finish 90 innings under the limit.


I'll wait.

Uhh how about you both just set your lineups? If you bench your whole team for a better pick, its not like you'll be invited back next year anyway...

Yea, benching your entire roster is very different

I have still fielded a consistent lineup everyday

I have still fielded a consistent lineup everyday

So?

What I've done hasn't affected the money of the league. I haven't dropped everyone and let people scramble in the last few weeks of the season... I'm not throwing off the competitive balance... In my opinion, fielding a consistent lineup designed to lose is no less disingenuous than fielding no roster at all.

I managed my team to the best of my abilities for most of the season. And then I made roster moves based on the over health of my franchise that isn't damaging the league product.

If this were a head to head league... I wouldn't do it. But it isn't... so...


But if everyone is that offended, I'll fill my roster in.

I see your point, and I spoke out against F2B's moves long ago.

BUT, there is something different about intentionally benching your entire team. What would other non-money team's response be? Just bench their entire teams? That would certainly impact the integrity of the final month and a half.

Nobody cared as Lisbon PLUMMETED over the last few weeks.

But if it bothers guys that much, I'm happy to plug players in.

Lisbon still had players playing, his team just sucks. I could care less where your team drafts. However for the 6 teams battling for them spots your team could impact the points if your players play. Most of us don't care what you do with your roster, hell drop half the team and pick up bums, we just don't like not using games just because its the easy way out. We've had people tanking since before I joined 3 years ago, and the tankers usually catch that baseball karma.

if @Front 2 Back don't WIN this thing next year with all them picks it will be the most hilarious thing ever, but he knows what hes doing player wise.

But dropping good players and picking up bums does MORE damage to the league...

Listen, it's whatever... I'll plug players in... but you guys move the goalposts on what is tanking and what's fair/unfair all the time. It's just weird. I paid my money, managed my team, caught a lot of bad luck early, still tried to stay competitive, and started playing for next season, making moves/trades/etc. Now you're telling me it'd be ok to drop my roster, flood the player pool, and pick up bums to play... but it's not ok to bench guys? The bottom rung of points are affected either way...

 

[HHR]

Yea, dropping good players for bums is definitely worse lol...def don't do that

I really didn't mean that was just more annoyed. I just remember someone catching hell for not playing games.
