Owners who let trades sit when they don't plan on accepting can frick right off.

But he's not the only owner to sandbag for draft position, he's just the most obvious.

I'd go with a loss of a draft pick before booting with this being a warning.

What do we do with teams that have no draft picks? Future picks?

I dont think he actually tanked. Looks like he just set his roster and didnt change anything. Just so happened a couple of his pitchers got rocked so he didnt reach the limit.



Eta:He actually claimed Perez and started him.

for not reaching a minimums inning pitch one week? Hell, I missed back to back weeks. I ain't giving up any MiLB slots

Seems a bit rash, especially with no warning

Idk how anyone can accuse me if not setting my lineup. My roster was decimated with injuries for the last few weeks. I made moves in FA.

If you guys mad I don’t reject some trades immediately, that’s fair. But don’t accuse me of tanking. I traded my two top prospects this year.

My pitchers got crushed with injuries after the deadline. Couldn’t trade, didn't want to cut keepers for bums on wire. Bad luck, but please do not accuse me of going out like a “bitch.”

I was in playoff contention until the end. In my opinion if you have a chance to get in why tank?

oh no, that was a suggestion based on the alternative to voting someone out of the league, which is much more rash if the owner isn't a habitual offender.


also, Chat, wtf? now that I look at that again, who would tank without a draft pick?

Fair points. Thanks for dipping in to make your defense. Case dismissed. Court is adjourned.

I don’t think you tanked or a bad owner

But I also don’t think it’s fair to not hit the limit bc you didn’t want to drop anyone, especially if your game outcome has other ramifications (not they anyone knew at the time)

I also needed every category I could get (and it still wouldn't have been enough). I couldn't rationalize dropping a decently valuable dynasty player for the leftover FA pitchers that could have tanked my ratios more.

Rules are rules, but it was a tough spot to be in.

You know with a full IR, you'll have to drop someone soon anyway?

I didn't make anything of him not reaching his IP limit until after his explanation. Should have just stopped at injuries.
