Absolutely (and I did!) but this has an interesting wrinkle to it, which is: is it unethical to load up on one side of the field to the extent that you have no realistic chance of getting promoted from low-level leagues or even avoiding relegation (I think yes), and if so, is there anything that can be done about it (I think... I don't know)?
In this case, how do you differentiate blatant tanking (which would certainly be the case if this user hasn't actually sold off their pitchers and has them inactive, which again, I reported just in case) from really, really awful strategy? In this case, I think that even if this person is selling the higher level pitchers they acquired (assuming they haven't just purchased everything from the auction house, which maybe I shouldn't assume), it's potentially super unethical but I don't know that there should be a rule like "if you have at least 5 gold players, you must have at least 1 gold pitcher" or whatever.
It's also annoying that people will find ways to skirt the rules. IMO it's one thing if you're looking for exploits that allow you to win; it's another one entirely if you're finding ways to tank that are in the spirit but not the rules of the tanking bylines.
