You trade all of your good players and pick a window of when you are going to compete. You bring your players along and compete for a window... and then as your players start to reach the end of their controllable years you trade them.before they become FA.
Those teams also get Comp picks which helps them build their talent pool.
A team like Texas and Houston should never reach 100Ls and if they do, there should be a penalty, IMO.
Ok... I need a drink, now.
Tanking is a play on how Tampa and Miami operate. Oakland to a lesser degree.Silent For Too Long said:
Solid post.
I don't really have a problem with tanking, personally. If the cupboard is bare you really don't have much choice as a franchise. Plus, as the Astros, Rangers and Orioles have already proven recently, it works.
