Quote:A player like Trav ruins the competitive balance of leagues. Encarnacion hit 35+ HRs and 100+ RBIs the past two seasons. He was a 1st round pick in fantasy this year that got off to a slow start. Just because Trav doesn't realize how baseball works, doesn't mean that one team should be gifted a 1st round pick and have an unfair advantage over the rest of the league.

 

Well you know what....it all balances out since that same team that got Encarnacion has lost its top THREE picks to injury (2 for the season, and one for most of the season) 

 

I've also lost like 5 other good players to DL stints, the most recent being Wil Myers who's now out for 2 months, minimum. (Chapman/ Robertson/ Belt/ Myers/ Pineda/....etc etc)

 

So, I'm not apologizing one bit for getting EE. I've not been able to have any "unfair" advantage so far given all of the other circumstances.
