One thing to consider about tanking - we are only having 4 teams drafting against each other.
Tanking would only take you from 4th to 1st.

Except for the 1974 franchise draft - then it will be 1-16.

BOSTON RED SOX
Carl Yasztremski has the best 1970 hitting season in the league. With him and Reggie Smith, you have a great start to your offense.

DETROIT TIGERS
Mickey Lolich has monster starting pitcher seasons ahead in this stretch, and hitters like Norm Cash, Bill Freehan, Al Kaline, and others till have nice gas in the tank.

WASHINGTON SENATORS
Grab an early draft pick, and you'll also get a couple more booming years from Frank Howard, you could draft a nice left side of the infield for four years with Ed Brinkman and Aurelio Rodriguez, and Joe Coleman has a couple great starting pitching seasons you could get.

2 more!

add me with oakland.

coldfoot will not be able to join the league.

I’ll jump in with Oakland.

I’m intrigued with how it’s gonna go long term - I think it would be fun if the rosters from the 1973 teams rolled over to 1974 and that’s what teams drafted from. Would feel like a true “progression” of the league. I also understand that’s not what other people signed up for and am not advocating for anything to change - just think that’d be fun.

either way - I’ll take Oakland
