SignUp Now!The Braves have refused to tank the last 3 seasons when they've been god awful and out of the playoff race by August. I've been told on the Braves board I go to that tanking doesn't work in baseball because it's such a crapshoot in the draft and that the Braves would be without honor by deliberately tanking. Now the last two World Series champions are going to be teams that tanked hard, drafted elite players, and then won the title inside 5 years. But honor.

100% for tanking after the last few postseasons.
What Braves board are you on? I have yet to find one I like.
Jesus, I was scrolling this thread to find out Halladay died. Almost seemed like a really good guy.
Daniel Flores just died of cancer complications.
17-year-old top prospect for the Red Sox who just signed for $3.1 million.
RIP.
