Biggest Playoff Loser Ever?
August 03, 2012 at 09:46PM View BBCode
Jake Hawkins, my OS39 Catcher, has probably wrapped up his 17 year career. During that career, he has played in the playoffs 16 times and won only one World Series. That means that 15 times, his season has ended with a playoff loss. That must be an all-time record.

Tough luck for Hawkins though. Still, amazing career and team success. I wish simd had some sort of effect that would reward teams trying to win always(maybe a payroll system where winning teams make more money and have higher payrolls allowed)

I have been through stretches like this. I have two possible explanations. 1) it has always appeared to me that newer franchises have a better chance in the playoffs. 2) you are an owner that tries to win every season, never truly rebuilding in a major way and acquiring elite talent from the top of the draft.Tough luck for Hawkins though.

There is a system in salary leagues in which teams are rewarded for always trying to win. Its called prestige. It takes that last 5 years and averages them together. Teams with higher prestige have a better chance of signing free agents. Just like in real baseball, teams that have a history of winning (higher prestige) usually attract more free agents.

At the very least, it is bad luck. Your situation can be compared to the Atlanta Braves under Bobby Cox --- a decade and a half of playoff appearances with only one title. All this being said, your overall success is still amazing!!!Pages: 1
