Mav, can you please explain a little on how you feel that way?
Well to be honest, I've been against it from the beginning.
I joined this league because of the desire of the admins to have the most realistic game possible. IMO expansion would take away from that. Division realignment, add new teams, etc. I'm just not a fan at all. I understand that there is a waiting list and you want to include as many people as possible, but I think a waiting list is a good thing. I don't think we should alter the entire league just so 3 or 4 strangers can get into the league. I want to be part of a league that is as close to real life as possible. If the MLB ever expands then I'd be all for it, but I personally don't want to be part of fictional league.
It seems you guys have figured it all out though, so I have no doubts about it succeeding, I just want to maintain as much realism as possible because that's what this league is built upon.
I don't want to sound like a jerk or come off that way, but this is just my opinion. I know that if we would expand, I would probably leave. Not to prove a point or anything, but once the league switched to a fictional league more than a realistic league it would no longer be something that I would want to be a part of.
Again, I don't want to sound like a jerk or anything, I'm just telling you my opinion. I know that I'm not bigger than the league or anything like that. So losing 1 GM over all this isn't that big of a deal and doesn't really factor into the whole thing, I'm just being honest and letting you know up front.
