Im not saying luck is not a big part of this game.

But picking the right players and following a sound fundamental strategy puts you in a better position to be lucky.

Which roster has a better chance of doing well, Delgado, Soriano, A-Rod, Rolen, Pujols, Wells, Sosa and Posada, or one with all scrubs?

As Branch Rickey said, "Luck is the residue of design"
