I did this with my pitchers only - I matched my rotation to the Dinos. Only 9 pitchers, all Iron.

I saw that the Dinos were on the bubble for relegation and decided to help them avoid it pretty much I got zero benefit to my team, I had no chance to get relegated myself. To me tanking means you're violating the TOS in order to gain an advantage over other teams and this gave me nothing, other than the satisfaction of knowing the Dinos were not headed back to Rookie for the 4th time in their sordid history. If anything I might have lost some PP that I could have picked up from pitching awards.
This is awesome, nice work. And the dude calling it hypocrisy up above is just wrong (using tanking himself?). After having my own run-in with the Dinos, they got their just desserts. Between us, we've denied them a rookie series title and a relegation.

It really would be great to see some kind of response to the egregious tankers.
