I would agree with Hyde for the most part. It is possible to field a .500 team on most occasions in FOOL. Although I have found that over the last (oh say 20 years) it is very difficult to keep a team together. Mostly because players seem to want to sign ridiculous extensions, but then take less in FA.

I believe that without the ability to truly develop a farm system in OOTP, there is little an owner can do to rebuild without finishing near the bottom, though in reality, as much as I like OOTP and FOOL, life happens and exports get missed, and when they do, bad stuff team wise tends to happen. I think one only has to look at the body of an owners contributions to determine the real truth.

This year is a ridiculous draft year. The great thing is the randomness that can be the FOOL/OOTP draft. Some years number 1 gets you the future star or ace and other years (like last season) you get the choice of mediocrity. Just luck of the draw.

Apparently I wanted to write a thesis on the ethics of OOTP. Good luck in day 2 of Free Agency and the Draft tomorrow all.
