Regular Season Dominance or A Title?

Reading my sad Turnpike playoff history in Broham's column got me to wondering - Which is more important, regular season dominance or a single title.

With the way the league is currently set up, it would be nearly impossible to make the deals to get a championship team and then come back and defend it the next year.  With a good nucleus of keepers, however, your team can be very strong year in and year out, but get taken out in the playoffs by a super team.  Which is more important to you.

My Fort Myers Blue Streaks have a 42-6 regular season record over the past three years.  I would like to see a team with a better record over the span of three years.  Each year I knew my team had no chance of winning a championship, but was unwilling to make the superstar for keeper deals that everyone else was making, because it was important for me to keep my team strong over the long haul.  Am I crazy or just old fashioned.  The title would be great and I came one Tim Duncan free throw away from winning it in Sugar Ray a couple of year ago, but I would much rather see my team at the top of the standings week in and week out.  I would love to hear the Broham's thoughts on this.

I respect that approach, and admire your results.  I keep hoping I can manage to pile up enough keepers to have a team be competitive more than one year.

Two of my three teams with a shot at championships have pretty good collections of keepers back.
