More mixed messages on tanking from Buster Olney

Is tanking bad or isn't it? Should teams engage in it or shouldn't they? Is it actually tanking or is it rebuilding?

We've been talking a lot about this the last few weeks, I know. And the main reason we keep talking about is because ESPN's Buster Olney has written numerous columns about it, noting how executives throughout baseball are concerned about the number of teams "punting" on 2016.

To this point, Olney has admitted that, under the current system, it's best for teams to engage in "tanking" (or what you and I call "rebuilding"), but by using the word "tanking" has implied that it's an unethical practice.
