Hey, is this tanking, shrewd managing, or just plain unethical?
There's a team in the Stone League I'm in that is dead last because their pitching his horrific. A deeper dive reveals that they've got all diamond cards in their lineup with lots and lots more diamond and gold cards on the bench and reserve. However, their pitching staff is all Bronze and below. The best pitchers on their team are Jim Abbott (69) and Geoff Zahn (69 and probably an underperformer due to that low STF). Tanking, you say? But wait! All those guys on their reserve roster are also position players as well. A quick glance suggests that they really are starting the best they have to offer.
So, if they've got diamond-level pitchers who are inactive, that's clearly tanking and they need to get disciplined for that, I think we can all agree. Of course, we can't see their inactives, although I'm sure the admins can. But what if they don't? What if they really and truly are just selling off all of their pitching rated 70 or higher in order to stay in the lower leagues and earn cheap PP? That strikes me as unethical (although tell me why I'm wrong if you disagree) but is it illegal by OOTP rules? Should there be a rule? How do you enforce that?
