But next year, it is mine! I signed Lefty Grove!

I do think it does help to have a losing season so you can get that #1 draft. I so far have gotten Hal Trosky, Lefty Grove and Mel Ott that way.

Also, DON'T let the computer make your picks for you in the draft or you get a guy that played only 2 seasons sometimes!

Another theory I am working on now is to help the commish promote a new book he wrote, I will let you know how that turns out. Not the book, but my season.
I was the beloved Commissioner for the six seasons that I won nothing. Now, after consecutive World Series titles, the clawless Tigers hate my guts and think I'm cheating.

As my book PR guy, I might just have to run extra sims to get the Tigers to the top -- maybe turn the electric off a couple of times and start again. I'm still not sure that will help the Tigers.
