i guess the debate is: if you 'throw' the last 20 games of a season, are you instilling a losing culture?
because if you are - then it's pretty clear you can't do it. the consequences are there to see and it's disasterous
if 20 games isn't enough time for 'loser culture to set in', or we have enough leaders who do care, so it won't set in - then why wouldn't you want the best chance possible to add a top prospect and organizational need?
11% vs. 8% as posted above...3% doesn't seem like much but it's almost 50% better odds.....that is significant.
and to the person relating this to personal finances, slow and steady or 'get rich quick'...I think 'get rich quick' is inaccurate, it's more like 'short term pain, for long term gains'...which IS a valid strategy.
