No rule for this ???

I find it hard to believe that there is no rule against filling your entire starting pitching lineup with Relief pitchers. It is an obvious tanking method.

well I argued before the current rules for anti-tanking is pretty ignorant.... the current rules simply move the goal to losing 60 games exactly and you shall be "rewarded" for creative tanking and "rewarded" is the correct term.... the worst team is not getting the best pick thus in theory can take longer to redevelop into a winner, that is why worst teams get best picks since the beginning of the invention of drafts.... adopting a real anti tanking method such as linking winning to your development is a smarter approach and actually available to be done.... however until the guardians of stupid rules decide they are not always right, nothing will ever change.... and since this league is also a digitized version of the novel "1987"it will be determined that my comments are not appreciated and 4...3...2....1.... action.... let the censorship commence.... ha ha ha ha ha
