I enjoy a good conspiracy theory and many times I think that there is something not legit going on haha. My first 2012 league is aperfect example where a team won 99 games with a roster that I would of called trash. Following examples set by teams that have won championships does not work for me. I could follow one of those teams player for player and where the other guys team won 95 games and the tritle mine will win 70 and be out of it by mid season. Following another persons team does not work as too many variables are involved such as opponenets rosters and ballparks. This game is all based on chance. If the game decides it wants to roll 90% pitcher card numbers in a series your ball crushing team most likely is going to be shut out or held to a few hits. Also of the game wants to do the opposite and roll mostly hitters numbers your ace pitching staff is going to be useless. It is all in how the game wants to roll out the numbers for the evening
