Tanking suggestion

Posted By Chuck

This is the time of year people start to point fingers-as there are only two kinds of managers towards year end; those who are looking to make the playoffs or those hoping to make it next year.
I have a hard time getting up set with a manager trying to improve his team, main thing that upsets me personaly is noticing certain managers playing certain teams harder then others(playing spoiler role) especially when its my team:(
Jerry Fryman wrote up a GOOD post on Tanking in B8.
Looking for some positive suggestion to finally put this problem to rest?
I find it almost impossible to validate tanking, I've seen many random out comes that are far from normal stats(ever happen to you?) for me to ever be sure what is done on purpose or just that a series of freak random outcomes. Fact remains its easy to lose a game doing things that can not be validated(read frymans post he covered that well)
My suggestion- before rookie draft order is set just go by Purebaseball value, case closed. I think this would offer more COMPETITVE and interesting leagueS. I am sure if this rule was installed start of this year we'd seen a differens in league standings. as a added bonus be one less PB problem.

Just one mans suggestion, hope to get some positive feedback Chuck
