Tanking?

In a Perfect League where a team is playing 5 silvers, 2 bronze, and 2 irons in there roster and have starting pitchers with 5 silvers and relievers of 2 silvers and the rest bronze.

What makes it look like tanking to me (other than the bronzes and irons at Perfect level)… 21 of their 25 active players have never played an inning for the team prior to this season at Perfect. So all those silvers and bronzes never played in a bronze, silver, gold, or even diamond league. They just look like they were haphazardly promoted (or purchased, I'm guessing promoted) to get take their lumps and drop back down to a lower league. They are scoring 2 runs a game while giving up more than 5.
