I guess it's somewhat different for me since I play in the pre-free agency era.

I've built a dynasty that pretty much can only be stopped by players aging beyond their effectiveness or my own doing.

In this past offseason, I traded away the league's MVP, benched another MVP-winning, consistent .300/25/120 guy since his age was eroding his skills VERY quickly at age 38 (I do use Skydog's settings for aging/dev), traded away a 80/80/50 (1-100 scale) scout find RP because my bullpen was loaded, and traded away my stud 24 y/o RF who had just won the ROY for a #2 power lefty starter that had given me fits over the last few years. that player was the ONLY ML player I got back in any of those deals.

You'd think this would hurt me, right?

I've started the season 18-5.

I was actually HOPING for a year or two where I'd struggled....
