I never thought of a formula, but I would think something like 2/3rds +/-, 1/6 FPCT and 1/6 CS%...  or something like that...  without looking too much into it.  There may be some additional data in the extended stats that would be a more effective in looking at it.  FPCT is not the answer though.

Double plays. I've been bailing out crappy pitching in $ by building a defense geared for double plays.

If we institute any sort of rules, I'm out of $.  Not because I plan on tanking or support it, but because, as bot said....our ridicule should be enough.

50% of alcheez posts are "shutup moy" and both those shofers should get callin gout from sergei.  Let's boot them too.

That number has to be wrong.

37% - "shut up moy"
28% - Phillies talk
12% - nuzzling up to TM like that cat tracyr fingerfucked
9% - CBS comedies
8% - concurring with things people say about HBD
5% - new forum rankings
1% - bailing on SHoFer gatherings

you forgot that 15% of his posts call Bret an idiot

That's part of the nuzzling and concurring, respectively.

If someone is actively getting better by acquiring top talent through whatever means they use, I won't judge. I can't ridicule someone who will probably beat my team down the line.

Nonsense, anyone can be ridiculed.

I have fielded teams with no chance of winning a bunch of times.  I don't play players out of position, promote my best prospects to the majors, or sign anything better than the dregs of FA on one-year contracts.  My worst 6 seasons (with those requirements), in wins: 64, 64, 60, 50, 61, 59.
So it is possible to win less than 60.  But each of those teams was a playoff contender 2-3 years later.  So maybe it should be something like "if you win under 120 combined in 2 consecutive years, you must win 155 or make the playoffs in the next 2."

Makes sense.

Really, that seems to totally contradict your philosophy of making excuses for the most ****** of players?  Not surprisingly, I'd totally endorse it.

That's not my philosophy at all, obviously.   You're not as good at this as your other half.  Just skip the trying to **** on me and stick to the productive dialogue.

But a lot of the ridicule is lost on those who aren't around the thread or paying attention to the worldchat.

I trade-chatted that dude from HR who sells kids on the black market and made that ghastly trade a few seasons ago. I always brought the trade up to him.

bot-  i dropped my payroll by $10mil from last season....increased my HS scouting by 4mil (maxed from last season) and should've dropped my Int'l budget to get the college scouting up, but didn't.  And really had I even split the difference and went to 17 in college and 18 in advanced, how big of a change would I have seen.  Becaue based on the draft collusion talks in here it doesn't look like there has ever been that big of a discrepancy between pre/post draft ratings.......I made an effort to improve these areas knowing I had those picks and yet there is still something wrong with that?????   Hell, hasn't the biggest ***** about my team over the past up-teen seasons been the lack of production/wins with an overinflated payroll on a team of scrubs?  So I go out and begin minimizing ridiuclous contracts and getting many of my prospects up (gratned players still not up to "acceptable coach" standards but well enough to keep my payroll down for long enough to build through the draft and maybe some trades here and there.  If there is a 2nd manifesot to read than I am all for it, but in the mean time, pick one area to ***** about regarding my team and stick to it.

There's a dude in HR who is in on human trafficking?  And you ***** didn't tell me?  ****, I would've dropped $ and joined that league 3 seasons ago if I knew that.

Ok, my one area will be that the guy running it appears to be playing with an extra chromosome.
