    Where is the support or base for your argument?


    This isn't going anywhere, is it
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    You're right, there's no base for either argument because we're average joes who never had any interaction with Knoblauch. It's just so easy to say he lost it, when in reality, that doesn't happen very often.

    But it does not matter the reason... forgetting, a physical aliment that is not a recognizable injury, mental collapse, giving up, slacking because of a contract, family tragedy, drugs, roids, alcohol, divorce, or because his pussy hurts... the fact is that things happen... and there is no guarantee against them for anybody on this earth... you want an insurance policy against it in a game, it should cost you more than what it is worth... after all, the league (like the insurance company) does not provide a service for free... protect 1 or 2 stars in a plastic bubble like John Travolta in that crappy TV movie, lose all increases in talent and gains in actuals of MLers

    I'm saying to protect the guys who are least likely. Not everyone.

    I'd probably say the same thing. lol Ankiel can't playLF very well, but he is great in CF. Ankiel has a cannon... he may not know where the ball is going, but it will get there fast. lol

    Other than Blass, I don't think anyone else can be considered a FRANCHISE player that has been mentioned here. Everyone else is irrelevant.

    Yeah clearly Evan Longoria didn't fit the bill.
