Talent Issues 2022

[GoIrish]

I don't like you sitting there acting like I am a damn fool dude. You complain about guys being too good, well drop the damn farm system ratings then from 93 to 85. I am telling right now, you will end some of this shit with too much talent if you do this. I don't know why you are sitting here telling me that I am wrong when I know full well what I am talking about. You say 6 90+ catchers, well farm being at 93 IS HELPING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is freaking ridiculous, that you can't see what I am talking about here. You are just ignoring it it sounds like, cause you can't be this damn blind.

I think you and DJ need to take a step back from this conversation for a bit. It is getting a little heated. I think you both have valid points.

DJ's point is trying to lower the talent pool in a way that does not hurt teams randomly.

Rocky's point is to lower the farm from excellent to good and this will slow the progress of the new players.

However, I think DJ has a strong counter argument Rocky that you are either not in agreement with or are not seeing. That is if we lower the farm progress, that will give teams rebuilding a longer window on the rebuilds. It will give the vets on teams at the top a longer window to play, thus creating longer dynasties.


I hope we can continue from here without harsh words or tone, we are all working on the same goal. To make this the best league possible.

I didn't mean it as harsh as it may sound lol. I just felt like DJ was completely ignoring what I was saying. Ok 93 to 85 isn't drastic, I don't think. Took me 5 years to rebuild and become relevant. It would take what 6 years instead of say 5? Trust me, you can win with a 85 farm, and you can still develop good players, telling everyone this right now. Another point is, only ones that are volunteering to kill off guys this time is DJ and you Sean. What happens if you can't get people to volunteer guys and DJ and Sean and maybe a few people volunteer? This isn't going to do much, and may press DJ to take action and hurt the league more than he has to. Again, this is where the "panic" word comes from.

I like DJ, and like the admins here, and respect all ideas, but I just feel like enough people aren't going to want to kill off their players every 2 mogul years(2 mogul years ago I offered to kill some of my guys and 2 mogul years from now DJ will likely ask for same thing again). I feel like knocking down the farm will help overall more than what DJ is doing, and what he will continue to do. That is the main problem I have, is I think DJ will needlessly keep doing this over and over and over and over and over again. I personally don't like that.

I can understand how you feel. I do not think Dj is ignoring but that the two of you have different opinions on how this should be done.

I have been in this league from the start and I think I have a good understanding on DJ's intentions. DJ wants to have perfection and from what he observes in the file is that we are still at a point of inflation. I don't think DJ is making any knee jerk reactions, in his first post he said "I don't think it's nearly as pressing of a need as it was two seasons ago".

He is making this post as a feeler to get volunteers because in his opinion every little bit he can get volunteered each season will help him achieve the ultimate end goal.
