There's a differences between being medicore and blatantly tanking. Cubs and Stros were medicore for a long time then finally realized that tanking and stockpiling talent is the best way to win the WS. And it worked.
But that's a good thing because that starts the Process and gives you high draft picks.
the worst thing that can happen is to stay mediocre for 10 years because you don't get the draft picks and you aren't winning either.
yup Boston at 268.
Tampa 266
But I think Tampa has the best 1-9 because they are all tough outs.
Mookie Betts skews Boston's average but there 7-9 seems like easy outs.
