In the last few weeks I've run sims with a multitude of different trade possibilities and I can't see where any trades I make do a damn bit of difference to my W/L record. I've run several seasons replacing Darnell McDonald with Hunter Pence and Gordon Beckham with David Wright. The team wins 85-90 games. Not replacing my awful players with two stars? 85-90 games. Today I ran several sims with Justin Upton and Tim Hudson replacing Darnell McDonald and Henderson Alvarez. 85-90 games. I've engaged in preliminary trade talks with several of you but every time I go to see how it affects my team, it doesn't affect my team so I have no incentive to gut my farm system for a marginal improvement in my sim.
I know I'm probably the most vocal critic of ZIPs. ZIPs is probably just fine as a projection system but to use as a basis for a sim league it stinks. Everyone except the elite players has the same sim and defense is ridiculously overvalued by the software.
There, I feel better now.
