Ok I totally understand you not giving me the benefit of the doubt, but in non-DDL leagues, yes. I kept Mazara in BORED, I kept Jose Fernandez in FC. I intended to keep Contreras in DDL but I couldn't resist acquiring Andrew Miller. I do tend to keep the ones I view as elite unless an opportunity to acquire an elite MLBer arises. I don't always intend to trade these guys, it's just that I have a serious addiction to trading and a predilection for mortgaging the future for the present. I think each team I manage is within a certain paradigm of contention and I don't manage all my teams the same way. If I own an elite contender, chances are I'm going to try to keep augmenting the core to stay as good as possible throughout the prime of my elite core players. I don't have a problem tearing a team down and rebuilding completely, it just hasn't happened yet in DDL.
