I feel like I've made the right decision in general. It's never fun to essentially "give up" on winning for a time. But that's what I enjoy about this game as a whole: The challenge of sustaining success. I tried it and did ok for a while but in the end could not develop enough pitching.
Just thought I would share this with the league, after all, I don't have much else to do this year anyways :D
Good luck to all this season and if you have any thoughts on how things are shaking up thus far this year, please feel free to reply!

As I wait for my young players to develop, there isn't a ton to do or even worry about on a day-to-day basis for me these days Sim Dynasty wise. I can certainly take some joy out of my young pitcher Trevor Bauer tossing a complete game shutout against the best team in the league record wise. I can be pleased with the progress of my minor leaguers like Matt Moore who reached A- Velocity this year. But overall, I am left with a bit of a void. I miss "going for it" as my team did for many years in this league. I was hoping to never have to "blow up" the team in order to rebuild, but reality set in when I glanced at my pitching staff leading up to the start of this season and then checking out one team in particular; The Hoodrats. Once I saw what they have built over the years, (especially that pitching staff) I quickly realized I had little to no chance of making the playoffs this year. Too much talent elsewhere. St. Louis is still very strong even though Hayward has moved on. Philly was primed for a repeat playoff appearance. And once I saw that Hoodrat team, I knew. It was time to say good-bye to some of my favorite Wifflers and dedicate our team to the future.I feel like I've made the right decision in general.

Thanks for the update. I appreciate you giving me another chance to get past you to the playoffs. I hope all my guys stay healthy and keep piching and hitting as well as they are. You are right about NY. They are looking tough. I just hope I made the moves I needed to keep up with them and into the playoffs. And maybe I can even pull out a playoff win. Its been a long while for my guys. I think i'm due.

I know from experience how tough it can be to completely rebuild a team but it seems like Cincinnati has the pieces in place to bounce right back in a few years. I just hope that my current team can stay on top as long as Cincinnati did before its time to cash out and start over.

Everybody has such nice things to say about my team and frankly I'm flattered. Its been a long climb but I've finally made it out of the basement and I'm looking forward to hopefully making a run at my first title. Hopefully I can hold off Philadelphia and St. Louis, but I'm not ready to take any of that for granted.I know from experience how tough it can be to completely rebuild a team but it seems like Cincinnati has the pieces in place to bounce right back in a few years.
