I may be bias, but I feel like the Braves are in the position they because of my trading/handling. I have a hard time believing that they would be in this position otherwise. ~MTK
Exactly why there is a system already in place for this. A GM must be with a team for so long before they can swap teams. This establishes whether or not an owner will be good for the league or not. My obligation to the Padres was to fill the team for a season, which I did. If I fail to do this I would truly not be worthy of a new opening, yes. But our policies currently in place, do in fact police this issue. You cannot be disagreeing with me, that good teams = good gms and bad teams = bad gms. Not logical. I will not accept that as a premise for any argument.Furthermore; and follow me here.I take the Yankees, person John Doe takes the Padres. Within the first month (most likely days after), John Doe doesn't show up here at ProFSL and leaves the Padres needing a new GM. I must then vacate the Yankees position to return to SD. We now have the same issue, a team, the Yankees, without an active and good (which is subjective) owner. Does it matter which team is unfilled? NO. Certainly we would rather have the good team being played, and the bad team being left to wait for an owner; if it mattered at all.
Chris,There is a strong correlation between favorite team and GM's staying active. Another thing, is it really a good idea to have a GM switching back and forth between to teams because we can't find an active owner? Seems like that would just hurt both teams. Personally, I would rather of the Owner player with the bad team because the good team doesn't need as much attention. If a bad team is allowed to get worse then we will never find a replacement.~MTK
Well tbh, if I put in the time to be here for a long time, I'd want the choice to move first. I'd have earned it. And, if I didn't move after say 5 years, I probably will not do it, but if I want to I should be able to. Maybe tenure with your current club should be the deciding factor. Favorite team should play NO part in deciding if you should get a team over somebody else. It is merely a logo. The financial aspect and player roster are way more important.
i have no problem stepping aside im not into leagues with all this tension i wanna have friendly competition. i dont know any of u or this league yet so just let me know
Okay maybe the commish can send out a private message and anyone who is interested can put their name in for consideration. I have a hard time excepting that Tenure should be the ultimate deciding factor. I think it should be considered but not the only reason a decision is made. I think a GM's credentials, favorite team, activity in the league, should all be considered to help find the person who is the best fit for the team. This is a large 30 team league with a few memebers who will never leave. With the top 5-10 members getting the chance to move first just for the reason of being here first I may never get a chance to move to a different team.
I have no plans on switching anytime soon. I am committed to re-building the Orioles and turning them into a contending franchise. However I would like the option in the future to move to a different team if being the GM of the Orioles becomes stagnant and uninteresting to me.
I get the logic, but in saying that you want the Padres in the 1st place, there is a responsibility to that. You could have said, no I want to wait on a better opening. I understand not waiting and jumping in, but there is a responsibility to the league when you say I will take on the Padres. Some GMs fail on following through on this responsibility and therefore are no longer in the league. Just the other side of the coin.
