It's not a zinger, it's just that your position isn't logically consistent.
-If you believe the post season is a crapshoot than any entry to it is as good as any other, because the outcome is random.
-If you believe the post season is determined (at least in part) by the skill of the team at the time, some entries to it will be better than others.
I don't believe the post season is only random chance, and so I'd prefer the team to be constructed to maximize their chances of perform well there, not just sort of stagger into it and get washed out by better teams. I also think that the bye is something that is worth earning. But apart from that, winning the division or not really does not matter all that much to me.
In fact, I'd rather have a wild-card team that's firing on all cylinders during the last month and is in good heath, as opposed to a division-winning team that limps their way into the post season but is lacking key players due to underperformance or injury. I expect almost everyone here would share that preference.
