I don't want it. I would prefer my team have a competitive advantage when I'm putting better players on the field. i.e. Team B is playing Stieb, Sasaki, and Hilton Smith, Mantle, Yaz, effin Nomar while I'm playing Sheets, Fernandez, Sutcliffe, Charleston, Ichiro, and de Vries - but Team B goes 30 games over .500 and mine barely squeaks into the playoffs, all because my 4-5 best players somehow have the yips
an entire season. I get there's an element of chance, but that's a LOT of bad chance. I could show you 3-4 of my players who have consistently performed in the bottom quarter of the same player in the same leagues year in and year out. It's not even laughable anymore.
