Clearing My Name
When I earlier commented about tanking, I meant... hmmm, what did I mean. I do not intentionally lose games. EVER. I would prefer my teams have a little bit better records, a little worse draft picks, and my own sense of doing the right thing. I've seen a lot of teams "play to lose" by setting up their roster with all the star players in the farm. This makes a lineup that is really pitiful, and almost unable to score runs. It also makes for a staff which serves up BP.
As a rule, I don't do this and hope nobody else does. But I've seen it quite often from teams competing with me for a lottery pick. They got it, but they really take the gamesmanship out of PB, IMHO.
