normally when I see this (the competitve part, I don't opine on "fun"), I can usually come back with a pretty clear case to challenge the assertion

but Cobbfather is an odd world (especially the AL) ... at any point in time, the standings look like a list of haves and have-nots (lots of 100 win and 100 loss teams) ... so it ranks low by my arbitrary calculation ... but if you look at franchise history, it isn't the same 4 teams dominating every season ... sure, there are a few franchises that have been good all 7 seasons, and a couple of doormats ... but some of today's 100-win teams were 100-loss teams early in the world

it looks to me like the world might be a little less strict on discouraging "tanking," so franchises go through a more extreme boom-bust cycle than other worlds

I'll stick with my calcs that say the world isn't competitive at any one time (i.e. in any season there are haves and have-nots), but if you looked over multiple seasons, you see more franchises making the palyoffs than some of the other worlds so far down in these rankings

Are you not bright? I gave a single opinion. Opinions can be positive, opinions can be negative. A negative one - mine - is not whining. It's just one opinion. Big difference.

Green seemed to handle my opinion better than you did, so I'll sitemail you a big hug and hopefully that will smooth things over.

It'd require more digging than I'm sure you want to do, but that would be a great number to include in the formula - the number of playoff teams who were in the playoffs the season before.

Your pre-emptive "don't whine back!" defense says otherwise.

I find this list highly niformative...further proof that moneyball is indeed the preeminant HBD world.

Season 14 had 7 100+ win teams and 5 100+ loss teams

Cleveland has won 100+ games for 11 straight seasons

Syracure has won 100+ games for 5 straight seasons

Jackson has won 100+ games for 6 straight seasons

Toledo has lost 100+ games 9 times in 14 seasons and never less than 85

I'll stand by the numbers that the world looks to be quite imbalanced right now

when you have 5 minutes to spare, it'd be interesting to see how team payrolls factor in.. i'll bet there are quite a few .500 teams with $113M payrolls tucked away in those more competitive worlds...

otherwise, thanks..

I may not have a complete understanding of HBD but I don't thnk you get extra credit for low payroll. You either win games or you don't.

It won't be 2nd last after this season clears.

But, it won't be top 100 either.
