Lambo to the 70's? Hes a 25 homer a year guy? That hardly seems right.

Turberville being dropped to the 70s doesn't seem right either. The guy is only 26.

To Mike and Matty, I don't think DJ wants to drop both that bad, but he is doing it for betterment of the league here. He is thinking that if he kills them two off, maybe a few others on other teams wouldn't get hit with a random drop, so he is taking it on himself to kill off two good young players on his team for the betterment of the league. Hey, I like a commish that is willing to take the brunt of this for betterment of league.

Gee, couldn't figure that out on my own. He's wanted our thoughts, so I'm going to voice my opinion. I guess that irks you.

On an individual basis it doesn't make much sense to do but in the grand scheme of things I think it makes perfect sense.

We also need to lower the Farm System setting or this is going to be an issue each and every season.
