Just like the Verlander posts in this thread his mind will not release OVR and until he does, he is unable to implement the ideas offered to help him. Your Silver team can compete at the levels that he has attained thus far with any decent pitchers if properly managed as you have shown.
Edit: I mean no harm in my statement and do not mean to offend, just posting the feeling I have after weeks of watching him seemingly ignore the help offered.

All I take from this post because I want to believe you mean no harm is the word "seemingly". That's the word that should be focused on. I spend so much damn time trying the things suggested in here and having it fail my wife will comment "if it gets you so damn mad why do you still play the game?" from hearing my frustration level.
I'm tired of proving myself to internet people. Believe me or don't believe me. I will continue to post, and ask questions, and BE MYSELF. I'm inquisitive. I like to seek knowledge and wisdom. I'll ask questions, post screenshots (if I have them or have the ability to take them), receive advice (hopefully), implement it, and if I encounter trials along the way I'll get frustrated (I'm sorry I'm human), but I'll also experience joy and gratitude at having some of that advice work, and I'll express my gratitude for the advice.
A small sidenote to thinking I ignore advice. A decent amount of the advice is "get this player or that one". Have you guys seen the AH recently? I know you have. There's a thread about how bad it's gotten. It's not as simple as "go get ozzie smith". In my entire two months+ of playing PT I have NEVER seen Ozzie Smith on the AH. Not once, and I check the AH about 5 or 6x throughout the day (I work from home). So unless he comes from a pack it won't happen. If that is somehow me ignoring advice, then yup, I ignore it all the time.
Another person (I believe in my Verlander thread) said get Maddux. I want to believe they simply don't understand how incredibly difficult that is. He first has to become available. Then he has to be affordable. He also has to be affordable and available at a time when I just happen to have that much PP just stashed away.
Again, I'm happy for the advice, and am quite appreciative people have taken time out of their days to help. Heck, if I ever see a question I can answer I want to pay that thankfulness forward. But please never assume I ignore advice. In fact I'm pretty sure I have attempted to implement all the advice I've been given in here if it's within my budget. I'm frustrated and experience emotions. We're all human.
