Best HBDer ever: foulballz. He's gone now, but he was the best. Ran roughshod over "elite" worlds. Never tanked, didn't take over stacked teams. I still don't know the secret to his success.

Honestly, that happens in virtually every world. The top owner trades the 31-32 y/o for a 23 y/o. The older player is really good but expensive and declining. If you think you're missing 1-2 pieces, it's hard to decline the offer. Problem is the top owner already has his replacement because he traded a couple of 31-32 y/o guys the season before for that replacement. It's a cycle and, if you don't understand that, it's repeatable.

And, if the owner is in the other league, there is absolutely no reason to not make the trade. Most of us don't care who we face in the WS, we just want to get there first. It's up to the other 15 guys in that league to prevent him from getting there.
This was the "secret" to foulballz success.

Seems plausible. I didn't ever look into his method.

He was successful in MG/Coop. That's how he did it. Both teams fell off, pretty steeply, after he left as the new owners didn't have the "gift" of being able to trade old/expensive for young/cheap/undeveloped.

I would nominate myself while all my teams are currently .667 or better, and while my WS rate is 1 in 9... but I'm kind of a scrub in the finals, I've lost more times than I've won
Let's hope this was a joke.

Who has the most WS titles: Is it cdc80uf? Not as efficient as foulballz, fwiw.
