So, I had a reality check before the All-Star break, about three months into the season. Things were starting off well, but it seems like I'm not the only one upgrading rosters... go figure

I opened some packs, but decided to do some market buys to improve my situation as I was getting dangerously close to relegation territory. My record in April was 16-10 (.615), which led the league, but it dropped to 7-18 (.280) by June.
I've managed to achieve a winning percentage of over .500, which will allow me to stay in the middle of the pack and continue improving the team next season.

Got some cards from packs that I use now :

POS OVR B NAME…...................eRC DEF...CON POW EYE
CF..98..R Byron Buxton............73..94....68..78..99
RF..94..R Socks Seybold...........86..95....84..77..96


Bought from market:

POS OVR B NAME…...................eRC DEF...CON POW EYE
1B..92..R Bob Allison.............91..70....74..72..92
POS OVR T NAME....................eFIP..STU MOV CON
ST..87..R Ron Davis...............100....171.58..55
MR..86..L David Wells.............78....89..89..73


And got from mission:

POS OVR T NAME....................eFIP..STU MOV CON
MR..92..L Gary Lucas..............76....72..110.68


I managed to gain control not only by improving the offense, but also by simplifying the complex bullpen roles setup, which seemed to be having a greater impact.

For next week, I will start keeping track of the overall active roster value, which is a good benchmark against other teams. The current running value based on the "Last 10" sales is 430K Perfect Points. This value has only been achieved thanks to some great pack pulls and a Perfect Choice Pack.
