hello scott;
i actually laughed at the 'stinker' comment... I like people who tell it like it is. there are many little things about this league I find frustrating also but have made the commitment to participate according to the established rules, so... I mean, we cannot even get mgr's to complete their cmi's and games according to the schedule... I would like a more competitive league with more turnover of rosters. Perhaps another sister league could be started? mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Fritchman" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, July 29, 2009 10:53:54 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: Re: geneva cubs starters I'm not even in Robert's division. My team stunk last year too but I made some good trades and collected a lot of players/picks and am very competitive now. I was just saying that because of uneven scheduling and therefore some people getting to beat up on weaker teams it seems that it would be more fair to have wildcards come from any division. But that's just my 2 cents. This league doesn't seem to like change as long as I've been here. Hence the injuries. I really wish other teams would speak up about those because I know other people hate the injuries.

I came into the league late and found already loaded teams... It is difficult to catch up when teams can hold onto every single player and draft prospects for the future also. This is why I am entirely in favor of a salary cap. If you have never played with one, it is really fun, exciting, interesting and you really must build your teams on a yearly basis (instead of holding onto everyone you can get and never letting go). Players increase in salary every year until finally you HAVE to trade/cut them. fun! I am participating in this league under its rules, I do not find them too repressive, I try to follow the rules (as best I can) and if they become too frustrating... well, the delete league option is available... I would also prefer waiting to draft until the new cards come out. I know this caused loads of consternation earlier this year, but if you desire a more competitive league...? Why don't loaded teams throw the 'stinkers' a bone once in awhile? (make less than an absolutely most favorable trade= why not, you have the depth). I am happy with the way things are, if you want to switch my team's division with Scott's, that would be okay- I like beating Virginia! :) mike ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, July 29, 2009 4:37:21 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: Re: 'stinks' huh? AGAIN I have enclosed the rules which everyone told me they read before joining. Yes the top 2 go to playoffs but how they finished is very much different from yr to yr (just look at standing ref last yr). The standings are determined by draft, trades, cuts and trades made after the draft. In the case of the Cubs (just for ex) they have tons of starters and many teams have inquired about them. Cubs decided to hold on to ALL of them even through they were in 2nd place the 1st half of the season. Last yr VA was 2nd last yr and this yr best team so far in league. Lastly every 3 yrs the divisions are redone (this yr is the yr) but 90% of league would be upset being in my division this yr but was only a couple games better than 3rd place team in my division last yr .
