check out the stats on this guy:September 26, 2011 at 12:28PM View BBCode
i could almost guarantee it.September 26, 2011 at 04:47PM View BBCode
That kind of suckiness is really just child's play. Very amateurish actually.September 26, 2011 at 10:49PM View BBCode
im sure plenty of guys in the OGL were worse, but this is actually supposed to be a competitive league.September 27, 2011 at 02:03AM View BBCode
since you were never in the OGL, i think i can safely assert that you have no idea how competetive it was. regardless, the question you asked was not "has anyone not in the OGL ever done worse", so it's really a moot point. besides, the HCL would presumably pass your "competitive" standard and i would almost guarantee that at least one guy on that 0-162 team was worse.September 27, 2011 at 03:30AM View BBCode
Paul, I can find a half dozen guys, like that or worse, fairly quickly from my leagues. In leagues w/o loss penalties, there's almost always an owner who slips in the C+ overall starter for a bunch of starts to help guarantee a top pick.September 27, 2011 at 08:07PM View BBCode
since there were millions of posts about how ridiculous the OGL was, i think i can safely assert that i do have some idea of how competitive it was, i have an idea about how worthless players were used in the interests of experimentation instead of competitiveness.September 27, 2011 at 08:13PM View BBCode
nobody should have to include the "except for the OGL" qualifier when asking questions like this, it should be assumed that whoever asks something like this is talking about leagues with 16 teams interested in winning.September 27, 2011 at 08:44PM View BBCode
it was one of the most highly competitive leagues at one time, lots of trading and the most active forum on the site, and you had to trade your best prospects away to get the best players to even get close to winning. toward the end, we tried to do some different things, like trying to get a team to win all 162 games. this is terrifically hard to do, it lost three games in its best season. losing 162 is surprisingly easy.September 27, 2011 at 08:45PM View BBCode
(and truly, there is no such thing as league, anywhere, where all 16 teams are interested in winning in a given season. somebody is always intersted in losing. they call it rebuilding. but its losing. on purpose.)September 27, 2011 at 09:42PM View BBCode
of course that's true, but winning is still the goal, be it this season or some future season.September 27, 2011 at 09:57PM View formatted

The 0-162 2001 San Diego franchise in the HCL would have several players that were worse.September 28, 2011 at 06:19PM View BBCode

Oh, come on, towards the end of the OGL, that guy would have been an ace on one of the bottom-feeder teams.Pages: 1
