[Ty Cobb]

I actually enjoy the pyramid. I'm a freeloader, and don't know or care who's winning at the Perfect level. I care about putting the best squads out I can. This year, that's resulted in two Gold Level WS wins, and numerous silver and below. Not too shabby.

Just as in real life with teams like the Padres...I can't step to the next level, and probably the only difference is money. Who cares?

A. I'm having tons of fun.
B. I'm winning far more than I'm losing.
C. Let the whales have their fun. Why not? I'm having mine!

Want to repair what's really wrong?

1. Stop the hoarding and gouging. I'm sorry to **** on the parade of those who would turn PT into a commodities brokerage, but hoarding only serves to strangle the small players out of the peak of the pyramid.
2. Even out the Perfect cards. A 100 card issued in week one should be just as playable in week 50. It isn't. Example? Tim Salmon B-A-L or Sam Crawford is a good one. Sam can be had for less than Salmon many days, but is eminently more playable.
3. Start being realistic about the Perfect cards. YIt very often seems as though some are made Perfects to appease the fan base—I'm looking at you, Yasmani Grandal. Learn how to use a bat. They might be better off using the DH for Grandal and not the pitcher. Maybe we have to accept that there is not a player worthy of being a Perfect at each position.
