You can spin it how you like, but a quick google search of “Houston Astros” + “Tanking” will pretty much prove my point. The Current Astros team was built on the back of 6 straight seasons where they averaged 100 losses in an effort to stockpile high draft picks. Now other teams are following suit. The Cards have 1 losing season in the last 20 years and are pretty much the model franchise in the MLB. So I can easily appreciate the Card’s for what the represent, not so much the Astro’s.
