    agreed, i like conversation about hammer.

    hammer's iq has dropped at least 10 points a year for the past 3 years because of all the alcohol he drinks.

    Re: Discussion about Tanking

    Sorry, been swamped (I had planned on working on the site tonight and life/people I know will not let that happen.)

    Listen, BrewerBall hasn't really broke the rules. Is it a dick move? Maybe. Could he had done the usual tanking that many do, ie finishing with 60 wins with a roster full of scrubs? Yeah, but both end up the same (his is just more obvious.) He has a strong shot at #1 or #30, depending on your viewpoint.

    BrewerBall, make a good faith effort. If you want to shoot for the #1 pick, that's fine, but do so with a real team. You have over 26 talent in AAA, so use it. 3-6-3-7-6 type of prospects do not need to be at the MLB level. Like someone mentioned, this is meant to be an escape for us, a fun diversion. You have a plan and that's cool, but play your best players and not a team 1/5th of catchers and playing the worst catcher at that. If you call up a 5-9-7 Eden Mendez and he gets bombed, but you leave him in the rotation, I doubt many would mind as he is a fairly legit backend talent.

    I am not mad and I don't think we need to drag this out, just make a good effort at fielding a competitive team given your talent. If you don't make changes, I will try to call up some relievers, send down some catchers, etc (no spects called up) to give your team a shot to finish with more than 15 wins. Let's all just have fun.

    Agreed it is not against the rules... but much like the DiamondDave rule we made in the other league for compensation... it may be time to have a rule covering this to ensure it don't happen again
