BACK ON TOPIC PLEASE - AS STATED THIS WASN'T INTENDED TO BE ABOUT THE GM OR OWNER OR ANYONE OTHER THAN THE PLAYERS ON THE FIELD.
This goes back to the equitable point, Roxpert. If you created a thread and asked that certain issues be kept out of it (as I did), if I immediately brought up those tangential issues you would have a cow. You can't be the police when it is to your benefit alone. The rules and behavior need to be consistent across the board. You can't reasonably complain about other people hijacking topics when you want but then do it yourself also.

Which way is it, HiAspire?

Although I wanted to keep things away from that topic, it is a fair question in general that I don't mind answering. But I have before also. I can repeat it for you again, so long as nobody complains. You asked for the answer. My answer doesn't change and I can't say it differently. Turning us into the D-Rays may result in a strong farm system, but it doesn't mean we should set out to destroy our team and become the D-Rays or Royals or whoever. We are better than that IMO, or at least were before the current management took over. I find more BLAME in the franchise destruction and years of mediocrity than I do PRAISE for making higher draft picks. Yes they deserve some credit, but also a ton of blame overall for the decline that paved this new road.
That's in the past, though. We've lived through the destruction unfortunately. It was a horrible time that should have resulted in the firings of everyone. But now is now. The D-Rays had a horrible recent past also. But they also have new hope because of that. Just like us. That doesn't mean either franchise did a great job to get here down the road of destruction, but it doesn't mean we can't now be hopeful for a better tomorrow either.
Can I police my own thread (as you do yours so strongly) and ask that this be about the actual issue raised about players on the field and specifically NOT about owners or GMs? Pretty please. All I'm asking for is what you do yourself so often when people go into other tangential discussions.
