Curious...took over a team as a replacement owner that was 29-114 at the time. Finished 39-123. Will the whole 39-123 be attributed to my owner profile or just the 10-9? Will it show my worst season as 39-123?

I had perhaps my best HBD experience in a world 2 seasons ago when I took over a team about 40 gms into season. Team was at .390 winning % and last in over pitching stats and just crap everywhere. I inherited a ton of unused player $ and had some odd players that I knew others might find value in. I used a lot of $ on scrap heap FA upgrades (truly scraps 40 gms into season) and fixing minors.

I then started trading away the oddballs who were one dimensional (pitchers who look good to some but not to me)and made a dramatic run up the division ladder falling just short of playoffs even though I was ending with an under .500 team (division was really weak).

The next season was mine from the beginning and I signed stud FAs + traded my way to a franchise best ever 104 wins + division + deep playoff run.

Alas, I didn't re-up in time and commish was AWOL to messages, so when the league filled about 5 or 6 weeks in real time later, I missed taking the team.

That replacement year and the following epic franchise win year was REALLY satisfying. I think I turned over 95% of the team. Great fun

Long way to say that the sub 500 year attached to my career owner stats, but it was well worth the fun.

Some of the most fun you can have sometimes, is a monster rebuild.
I always think, only one team wins. So what do you get enjoyment from? I think it's seeing moves you make translate into Wins.
